I'm not bragging about my town at all. I don't live in Matinecock, I live in Bayside (Oakland Gardens to be precise). The town I grew up in is a nice mix of government projects, hispanic, black and Polish ghettos, middle class neighborhoods and ultra wealthy robber baron estates. It's got something for everyone.Uzique wrote:
galt are you seriously not seeing the irony in constantly bragging up your town, and then slamming me as a "pissant" for having done nothing to establish the reputation or living quality of mine? what the fuck have you done? jesus christ sometimes you are such a dumb prick.

There's quite a vast amount of open public green directly opposite those buildings in addition to the other green areas on the map, I'd say. For the next point, more like several hundred surrounding acres of farmland Supremely boring to drive through.
My moms house is valued at something ridiculous like 700k. Tiny house on 1/8th of an acre. I don't get it.eleven bravo wrote:
I live in a shit hole but my home is valued at around 500K right now. same as the other homes on the street.

Ok. It's 'wealthy' because the cost of living is insane. Not because everyone has a fucking mansion. These are middle class people living in an expensive area because they don't want to live in an apartment building. The acreage per house is small but it's a convenient place to commute from and it has the feel of the suburbs. It's not a gated community.Uzique wrote:
nor am i bragging
my only statement has been: "your 'wealthiest' neighbourhood in NY looks like shit compared to english standards"
It's pointless John. England is the greatest country in the world. None shall ever rival it.JohnG@lt wrote:

my reading comprehension? you changed the subject of your post without any indicator- it was following the clause before it and was not an independent clause... want to get grammatical? sure. no referentiality or indication at all = your post is torturously poorly worded.DesertFox- wrote:
Ah, I forgot you can't comprehend reading when you get riled up. I was responding to this sentence in your post "it's cool i bet you all have several surrounding acres of land in your town-centre properties, too". Read a book
