Born, raised, and lived in Sheepshead Bay for 33 years. Wife, born, raised, and lived in Flatbush and Old Mill Basin for 33 years. We moved to NJ last year looking for the joys of homeownership and the suburban life, which the Mrs. always wanted.
Just made a year here, and feels like 10. Both of us want out. I, too, am fatter and depressed. And we gave up a $1200/month 3 bedroom apt. for this!
