GAS!
According to this mornings, New Yorkers are paying $4.50 a gallon for gas - about the same as we've been paying for the past 6 months.
Wow!

Both places are primarily Hispanic

Both have a shit load of homeless people

Streets of Brooklyn are safer

Not really, just pandering to those here who like tell you how unsafe San Jose is.

OK, since I live in Brooklyn, let me correct you guys a little....

Jmac,
That's just a stereotype. You are mostly wrong... there aren't many homeless people in Brooklyn anymore, they have all moved up to the high-life of Manhattan streets.

LVS,
Gas prices have gone up recently, but nowhere near $4.50. My last fillup, I paid $2.95/gal. They are saying $4.00 by the summer. Thank god my gas guzzling jeep lease is up in June. I'll probably get a 3-cylinder Yugo, if I can find one, or a Geo Metro. Those things run like a month on one tank of gas.

VB,
You are partially correct. Brooklyn is very segregated. It has many ethnic neighborhoods. Some are all hispanic, all Italian, all Russian, all Polish, etc. So if you came across a non-hispanic neighborhood, you'd have to look pretty hard to find one.

....but you can get much better Italian Food in Brooklyn!!!

That's actually true, I don't need to take cabs at night. And I've never been beat up by a tranny here.

You almost sound disappointed!!!
Ya know what they say......
Watch out what you ask for....You just might get it!!! There's tranny's in Brooklyn also. (Oops. Did I say that out loud??!!)

In areas of San Jose, where people live, they do not take taxi cabs at night and have never been accosted by a tranny. That does not make all areas safe and your anecdotal evidence in Brooklyn does not make all areas there safe.

Orange;
On the news, they actually showed a pump with that $4.50 a gal. on it.

BTW, it was YOUR local station WABC that broadcast it.

LV & Paco,
I don't doubt about the gas prices in that one particular place.

But what I was saying is that it's NOT the norm around here. I don't know what they're smokin over there but it's around $3.05 for regular in most places.

ID,
My comments about the taxis at night and trannies were obviously somewhat facetious.

My apology amigo. I am a little sensitive on the subject of how dangerous San Jose is. I think many who post about that have never lived or been in big city USA.

I was in Newark, NJ. I came out of the hotel at 8:00 PM to take a walk. A cop stopped me and told me for my own safety go back to my hotel until the morning.

I was with a group of guys in Detroit, Mich. We came back to our hotel in Detroit about 10:00 PM after having dinner in Windsor, Canada. We started walking to find a bar for a night cap. As we passed the loading dock of the local newspaper the workers there told us for our own safety to go back to our hotel.

These actually happened so I get a little sensitive when people tell me how dangerous San Jose is.

ID,

FYI--Newark, NJ is the "crime capital of the northeast". I don't know if this is official or just something people say that is true statistically.

I donno. I stayed a summer with my aunt in CT. She lives in Stratford, and the 2 times that we went to Bridgeport, her car stereo was stolen

Must be a nice place to live
