The point is that older Dominicans and graduate Dominicans are an incredible help to NYC. These are really good people so it is unfair to generalize all of them like that.

Tell me this Super Wario, how many Puerto Rican members of the american armed forces, like my cousin, have died on foreign soil protecting and preserving the freedoms that Dominicanos in this country? MANY

How many Puerto Rican members of law enforcement died protecting the populace from the crime wave that accompanied the "dominicano" drug trade in the last twenty years? MANY

How many Domincanos died in either instance? FEW So........by extension what good do you speak of the dominicanos doing?

Don't bother questioning SuperWario with logic or reason, he exists solely to provide entertainment for the forums...that is his purpose. His statements are so outlandish, hypocritical, and laughable..you just have to sit back, read, and laugh..and then continue on with the topic at hand with more reasonable and rational posters.

No worries Ogden...we all know what you mean.

I'd rather live amongst the new wave of transplanted yuppie and hipster New Yorkers (who seem pleasant and more educated) than live amongst that group of rude, tired, grumpy, rent-controlled native New Yorkers I always see in NY looking so miserable.

The Puerto Rico vs. Dr thing is so '89. It's so stupid and old hat.

Moving on...

[Guywithacause]

Lol..it is so '89...it was dumb for SuperWario to even bring it up..cuz then it will beg others to get into the gutter argument...silly and pointless. It is very '89 though..brings me back!

Euroboy...unfortunately...there are many times when I can agree with that statement. However it is the locals that make the city...if it were all the Hipsters/transplants...it would be a place like so many others.

DITC...you are gravely mistaken with your assumptions, as I am not outnumbered 25,000 to 1.....

I always imagine you living like Charlton Heston in The Omega Man or Will Smith in I Am Legend.

Maybe I should refer to you as Neville rather than GuyofGisbourne.

[Guywithacause]

hehe....Moth yeah it can feel that way at times...no doubt.

Then maybe you should live other places if native New Yorkers irritate you to that agree. Just so you know, as a native New Yorker I find alot of transplanted people to be rude, tired and grumpy. They buy into a notion that New Yorks are loud, arrogrant and rude and then they come into the city and behave worst towards people than many native New Yorkers ever did.

Is laughable how some people prefer to keep criminals and wannabe gangsters in these neighborhoods, instead of the new and less criminal people moving in. Lets face it, some of you have issues with whites faces who seem to be doing ok and better financially than many people in those hoods. The thing that bothers me, is while the New York Times pointed out that most well-to-do people (Yuppies?) moving to Harlem tend to be Black themselves, alot of you seem to hate the White ones the most. Racism is alive and well. Fine you don't like their style or music, but lets face it, they are paying a good amount of taxes and are less likely to be involve in crime. I want a neighbor like that. Who doesn't?

Oh and the ones been displace are the renters, not property owners. Alot of the Blacks in Harlem who owned before gentrification are probably happy of the change and probably the ones in Bed-Stuy will be aswell. Stores? there will always be plenty of places for shopping and stores. Starbucks and the like, can't take all the spaces. Some property owners with retail have to be realistic.

Oh and do any of you have sympathy for all those struggling artists who were living in SoHo, Tribeca, or the East Village back before gentrification in those neighborhoods took place aswell? I guess not, since they are probably white.
