Fancy Liberal Brooklyn Is Full of Hypocrites

Brooklyn—the expensive parts of Brooklyn, the parts of Brooklyn you read about in higher-end trend stories—prides itself on being a great bastion of liberalism and diversity, a place where the intelligentsia can be proud to live. In fact, many of the proud liberals in these parts of Brooklyn are full of sh!t.

Brooklyn is extremely segregated, racially and economically. Okay, fine. That's a larger problem. Can't hang that one completely on the residents of nicer neighborhoods. But with that reality as the backdrop, you can decry the residents of nicer neighborhoods for being complete ****ing hypocrites when it comes time to allow a tiny bit of reality to creep into their well-maintained fortresses of gentrification, for the sake of the civic good.

You're not going to get much attention about this article here in CC. Since I'm originally from Brooklyn, I can confirm that some of this is truthful. But, of course, the article ignores the fact that there are Republican districts in Brooklyn that are equally segregated. They may not be so liberal but they claim to be Christian. Therefore, their unwillingness to open their doors to the poor is even more hypocritical.

We all know the Bamster is responsible for the homelessness.

Homelessness is ignored by every politician of every political stripe because the homeless don't vote.

It's easy to be hard.

It's actually too easy. If everyone put in just a little bit more effort, the world probably would be a much better place.
