Those are not real jobs that anyone can make a good living on.

So get a job at a bookstore then, rent an apartment, pay for a car, and bills and see how well you do. I certainly am not rich but i know that if I had a job like that I would a) try to get a new one and b) not move out and foolishly pay for an apartment that I probably can't afford.

I think Williamsburg is a dump, if you like it, great...but you don't need to attack me and tell me I am wrong. That is simply my OPINION. And if you love Billyburg so much, move there then.

Williamsburg is obviously the place to be if you are a young adult. In fact, most of Brooklyn and even some parts of Queens are getting better as most communities on Long Island are going down hill.

I can't begin to tell you how many people I know between the ages of 20 to 35 that live in Brooklyn now. Nobody wants to live on Long Island anymore. High costs. High LIRR fees. I'm getting tired of defending it. I sometimes wonder why I still live here...

You weren't giving opinions, you were making ignorant blanket statements about a place you obviously have little to no experience with. Do that and people are going to call you out on it.

I have friends who lived there. I named 4 places from there. I know it very well in fact.
