This is BS.. Have you actually done the BX to Manhattan commute?
Norwood to 34th Street during rush (as per schedule) 35 Minutes.
Morris Park/ Pelham Parkway (5) to Grand Central 29 Minutes rush hours, 36 mins non rush
Parkchester <6> to Grand Central 30 Minutes (25 on the 4/5 Express at 125) 40 to Downtown. 45 minutes if you stay on it all the way down.
WTH are you talking about.
Ask people about the F commute from Park Slope to midtown. It ain't pleasant. Or from Bushwick to Downtown, which involves a transfer at some point which eats up your time.
Did you read the subsequent post clarifying what I said?

Williamsburg was a very mixed Orthodox community in the 50's.
Neighborhoods change in nyc, that is just the nature of the city. LES use to be a dense poor Irish community, now it isn't. I think you are trying to take the conversation in a different direction that has little to do with the topic. For the sake of boroughs being like other boroughs, I don't have a huge interest in which ethic groups lived wear....it is a very interesting topic, just not mixed with this topic.
Unless there is a point that connects the two together, which in that case I would be very interested in hearing it.
the south bronx is wack. they need to demo the entire 149th street corridor, and put just office buildings, and retail in its place when the bronx gentrifies, and believe me, it's cooooming.

It very relevant.
the reason why Williamsburg's Jewish community didn't completely get destroyed like the Bronx did is because the Jews who stayed in Williamsburg and didn't move post Moses were mostly Holcaust survivors or refuges and were just looking for a place to stay as opposed to the Jewish community that moved to in the Bronx that moved there because it was a affluent area so they fled when the area was split.
the mindset of the people in a neighborhood effects almost everything about the neighborhood.
HellUpinHarlem...as soon as they demolish the wackness that is 125th and start from scratch, then we can talk about 149th. And while they are at it, let's not forget 116th! I mean really...it's 2012 in Manhattan, and 125th looks almost as dreary as it did 20 years ago...so sad. Oops..well it's not "really" Manhattan now is it? More like the Bronx, 149th!
