Looks like Park Slope in Brooklyn. One of the whitest neighborhoods in the city. I’ll bet they never go east of Flatbush Ave and send their kids to private school. They’ll find out soon enough.
Good neighborhoods are everything in any big city. You don’t have to live in the outer ‘burbs and endure a two hour commute if you can find a good neighborhood.
And if you can afford the higher housing costs that good neighborhoods command, because avoiding the commute appeals to so many people that they bid up housing.
