After spend several years visiting jewish communities around the US and living in various others in my college years (Passaic-Clifton, Monsey, Teaneck, Kew Garden Hills) I know there are a lot of people that are indifferent to outsiders in the ENTIRE NY Metro Area.

Yes. I said it. NOT just Brooklyn. All over Downstate NY and Northern NJ.

If you want to listen to Country Music while waving to newcomers on your big green tractor (with a Gemara in your hand of course), them move to Central NY or Iowa.

Don’t move the a big city like Brooklyn (yes, it was once an independent city larger than NYC) and then complain about the Big City residents don’t have your country living attitude.

Sincerely,

Out-of-Town is underwhelming and overrated
