I spent a year working in the Bay Area and mostly SF and it reminded me of some horrific hippy alternate universe of Brooklyn. Sf isn’t like La, but it’s not like NY either. So cal native, LA isn’t even like the IE. 5 years dmv so NY trips and the NY native who’s been here two years now unequivocally rejects this notion too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude I don't know when you saw it last but LIC has changed in some drastic ways, it's wild.

I lived in Greenpoint in the early 2000s and remember the hipster takeover. It used to be a working class East Euro immigrant area and they drove rents into astronomical territories. Now half those buildings have been replaced by glass storefront kind of condos occupied by Google employees and the hipsters are organizing demonstrations and crying. Welcome to the club asshole Edit: I worked at UPS unloading trucks at the time, imagine paying rent in LIC with that now for example 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthermore for people not from here: to make matters more confusing, Long Island City is not Long Island but it technically is ON Long Island because both Brooklyn and Queens are on Long Island. When people refer to Long Island, they specifically mean Nassau and Suffolk counties which are different worlds entirely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual citizenship and unfortunately I’ll never get to ride her citizenship to freedom. My east coast experience would put the bay closer to the dmv. Sans the weirdness.

I mean.. on a scale of 1000 it's a 100 and LA is a 5, sure. But it's not NY. Like you can barely get around anywhere in the Bay Area without a car. You have the Bart, Caltrain, VTA, and some other lines and none of them go into most neighborhoods. Everything closes early, nothing happens in the Peninsula, the hottest thing going on there is a restaurant called Town where cougars go to find horny tech workers. Man I hate it there.
