No need to get upset about the idiotic comments. Keyboard warriors will be keyboard warriors...
Am not sure what you're running your mouth about. So far have not seen anything said that isn't true. The area overall is *poor*, does suffer from drugs being dealt and high crime, so seeing people driving around in expensive cars in a high-crime, poor area doesn't exactly add up. Where are they getting the money to drive such cars? Did East New York suddenly get an invasion of white collar workers with high salaries? Am thinking we both know the answer to that.
Am wondering what there is to be jealous about people with expensive cars that live in the ghetto? If anything it's ironic and foolish. Living in the ghetto and driving a car that may get you killed makes no sense. Cars depreciate *immediately* upon leaving the lot, so it's not as if they are a sound investment. Always laugh to myself when I see such incidents. Yes they have a fancy car, but they live in a dump. That is why so many wonder.
Including you apparently, who can't get the car.
I personally don't care what anyone else does with their money, or where it comes from. I'm more concerned about my own money and what I do with it and my own life.

Go to up them and ask them to see how it works out.
Neighborhoods like East New York also have civil servants in them making over 100k, so if they bought their homes awhile ago (and some of them have) they can easily afford a car. Or maybe they saved up from living in whatever affordable housing (rent stabilized, housing projects, or whatever). Of course some will be drug dealers too.
To tell you the truth if someone does buy a car in metro NYC it can be a good investment, as it certainly expands the number of places one can expect to commute to work. There are a lot of jobs in the suburbs that one must drive too.

*LOL* Am not sure what you're running your mouth about. Don't live in the ghetto and never have. People are allowed to be curious and ask questions, especially when you have people living in housing projects or whatever receiving food stamps and driving around in fancy cars on taxpayer dollars.

Oh I don't need to ask anything. Can add and see that 1+1 doesn't equal 3. Are free to keep telling lies about all of these people making 100k a year.
The stats tell a different story, with a median household income barely above 30k. Where I'm from, we call that *poor*. *LOL*
Go drive by Marcy houses in Bed stuy to see how many high end cars and SUV's are parked IN THE STREET. I know two women who went out with these PROJECT NINJAS becuase of their cars. When they wanted the date to go a lil further they find out they livin with their AUNTS or NANAS. Women were so turned off like WTF ?? Of course im sure these NINJAS have scored with others without having to have their own pads because they spents their dough on spinning rims
It's called " money obtained by illegal means" plus your tax dollars in the forms of welfare, food stamps, etc...add in a bunch of weak liberals who pander to The Great Unwashed & this is why you have a state dead last in cost of living, property taxes, infrastructure, being business friendly , as well as a state leading the country in number of taxpayers leaving for other states.
