Wanna see if I can reveal some hidden memories. Usually, direct questions trigger those memories to come back.

minus-square[鳳凰院 凶真 Hououin Kyouma]|[alt: 黃家駒 Wong Ka Kui]@sh.itjust.worksOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 month agoNYC feels less “ghetto” than Philly, tbh. (Sorry for the lack of a better choice of words) But housing was cheaper in Philly, which is why my parents moved here. Buying a home in NYC was impossible, even in Brooklyn. So expensive. But the trade off was Philly schools sucks, very low ratings when you look online. Do I miss it? I mean we used to have a landlord in Brooklyn, in Philly, my parents were able to buy a house, so I guess one less thing to worry about. Where we lived in Brooklyn was right next to a subway track, so there was noise every so often, very annoying Idk, sort of yes, but also sort of no.
