I moved to the upper east side due to the fact it was the most affordable at the time in Manhattan and after spending 10 years in Brooklyn I have to say I’ve never been around more unfriendly judgmental people lacking in compassion and empathy I’ve not made a single friend living here 3 years I enjoy the parks and museums near by but the rest these people are classist racism and sexist I refer to this neighborhood as land of the Karen’s this is coming from another fellow Eastern European immigrant
