Root of what? How many generations of the same family do
You expect to live in the same neighborhood? It’s a natural progression of a neighborhood.

The only consistent example in NYC is NYCHA where 2,3, or 4 generations stay in the same dwelling for obvious reasons.

That still looks better and more welcoming to me than East Flatbush or Far frickin Rockaway today.

Some might say “if we look at poor capitalist countries we see the same,” but that’s not true. For one thing, immigration flows from socialist countries to poor capitalists countries is one way and hardly anyone moves from the capitalistic to the socialist. While there is a variety between rich and poor capitalistic countries, all socialist countries are poor. That should be a sign. Plus, even in poor countries there are people from poor neighborhoods that move up the socioeconomic ladder and move out of the poor neighborhood. Not so in socialist countries.

A lot of people can't afford to even high a moving company for $200 to take their stuff out and too weak to lift up their own furniture down the stairs. Everything has to be done for them by somebody else. There are people who live in NYC that never taken the subway in years and only use car service and never once left the state. People complain that Queens is too far for them.

How come people leave their neighborhood, and complain about a neighborhood that they left
You're not there any more so it's not like you can actually do something about it
What do you expect
I'm so befuddled

People who left the neighborhood are not the ones complaining. They don't even live in NYC anymore, and many are already long dead. If you own a house in Queens in the 80s... thats 40 years ago.
