I’m personally sick of all the yuppies in LIC. I was born and raised here like my great grandparents before me, not born in Kansas or some west Bubble fuck state nowhere near LIC and moved here. There is no longer a place to park, prices have raised, the skyline that I love so much is going to be hidden by condos, my neighborhood has new streets, and who can afford to live here anymore? They are putting up so many new developments that no one can afford it. LIC is going to become the next Harlem, Bushwick, or Queensbridge and be turned into section 8 housing only because “artists” won’t think it’s the new cool place. As a New Yorker I can only tell you yuppies, get the fuck out of NY because we don’t want you here.

If you are sick of real estate this blog may not be for you. Just a thought…

I’m sick of hearing how terrible YET how great things were back in the 70s and if we could only go back to the crack era things would be ‘real’ again. Yuppie infestation is everywhere in NYC. It’s in New Jersey, Brooklyn, obviously Manhattan. It’s a rich man’s disneyworld. Stop complaining and fucking deal in reality. Growth has to happen and if it didn’t, LIC would stagnate and this blog wouldn’t be on the internet.

Another video we posted about LIC. More life/community centered.

“Who’s a midwesterner? i’ve been in LIC 10 years. Moved to Brooklyn from CA in the 80s. Am I a new Yorker”
Not according to these people your not. If you’ve been in LIC for 10 years, you sir/ma’am are a burden and are the type expected to get up and move out. We are quickly becoming a 2 class system here in NYC, the bloomberg rich and everyone else. everyone else had better find somewhere else to live. cant wait to see the 1st local implant in the cells at the 108, bitching he wants his lawyer so everyone can laugh at him.

Who’s a midwesterner? i’ve been in LIC 10 years. Moved to Brooklyn from CA in the 80s. Am I a new Yorker? I like the changes going on here. Looks like the girl in the video does too. I use the word ‘lame. I’m not a New Yorker?

What are you so angry about?

i’m sick of rust belt refugees talking about yuppies and using the word ‘lame.’

two terms only non-NY’ers use. so excuse us if us ‘NY’ers’ are excited about NY real estate. if you lived here during the 70’s and 80’s, you’d be excited to see POSITIVE changes taking place.

this is not the 70’s!!! Repeat after me, non-NY frizzy haired midwesterns! This is not the 70’s!

that is all.

i’m sick of new york real estate

Yeah, I know. I’m just cranky and weary of “real estate” I guess.

Isnt the Foundry in this neighborhood? Aren’t the real estate guys changing LIC?

Brandon: I agree with you but she’s laying out an overview for people who have never been to the neighborhood. Her daily video show is about REAL ESTATE. She covers different neighborhoods every day.

LIQCity picked her up. It’s not an insiders take to where we live. Taking the 7 train tells people who don’t live here nothing except what it looks like and it looks like a documentary that will hold no ones attention.

That’s not what she’s doing. Look at her videos and you’ll get it.

Ugh. Lamest LIC video anywhere. Dear every blog ever: please stop showing this.

Such a yuppie BS take on everything. “younger, hipper generation” AKA rich older people blah blah luxury condos blah blah super cursory obvious tourist brochure landmarks PS1, Silvercup, fortune cookies … “live like a star”… “hottest developments”… real estate guys… stop it stop it stop it.

These are the sorts of videos that only fuel this neighborhood attracting lameos and seem to have very little to do with what living here is actually all about. Effing hell. Why is everyone trying to sell this neighborhood into something it isn’t to people who don’t live here?

Far more interesting footage of LIC that lets you actually see the place:
