Bushwick

So after almost a month, I'm settled in New York.

I found a place in a warehouse loft in Bushwick, Brooklyn. It has a huge roof, and it's perfect for summer dance parties.

I am right on the gentrification line. Which is the equivalent to being a white colonist on the hipster frontier. This is something that I have mixed feelings about. I am part of a force that is displacing disadvantaged communities.

But then again, I can't really afford to live anywhere else. This neighborhood is safe(ish), there are a lot of young people, and things to do. So, I'm excited on all those fronts.

It's kind of fucked up, on a sociological level, that there are liquor stores on every corner of this impoverished neighborhood. But, on a personal level, I am kind of a fan of spending $.80 on 32 ounces of malt liquor.
