You can be snarky all you want. People can choose to live in a fully urbanized place “that never sleeps”, and enjoy all the noise and mayhem possible 24/7. No problem there.
But the headline described the complaint location as a “plush NYC Suburb”, implying it is exactly where residents pay extra to escape the behavioral norms of the inner city. I don’t know, but can only guess, that the “white” couple was dismayed that “prominent black doctor” was enacting inner city behavior next door, depriving them of the right of quiet enjoyment. They should not have to flee to avoid barbarians.
Believe me, Forest Hills is NOT a plush NYC suburb. It’s a rather high end neighborhood in Queens, but it’s not all that suburban, esp. for Queens, lots of apartment buildings, etc.
And it is known for having a lot of well-heeled black residents. Not as much as St. Albans, but a goodly number.
This guy had a private chef catering a party, wouldn’t call that “inner city behavior”.
But, you know, it’s all Long Island, and white Long Islanders are well known for their racism, that’s another fact.
