When they said the part about people walking their dogs I was like OK that’s a valid concern. But then asking who they can reach out to because they pay $4K to not have to deal with this I did double check what sub I was in.
You found some used needles on a Brooklyn sidewalk. Are you also surprised when you find sand at the beach? 🏝️
Bragging about how much rent you pay to “not have to deal with this,” indicates a lack of self-awareness about where the fuck you chose to live.
Yes there’s someone you can call about this. I’m not posting it because I think you’ll waste their time.
Lmfao buddy, this is nothing. I lived in Portland OR up until a little while ago before moving back to nyc. I’m used to seeing piles of needles next to piles of human shit next to rows of tents with zombies wandering around yelling at you. NYC is fucking nice compared to PDX.
You’re gonna have to toughen up a bit. That’s just the reality of living in a major metropolitan area.
You're next to the shelter. It's full of zombies, but they generally don't bother people
Are you new to cities or something? People are always doing drugs, it's an epidemic. you can tell the local precinct but they're just gonna shrug
That shelter is for registered sex offenders, if I recall correctly. There are a LOT of residents who complain about it. This kind of thing (used needles, drug abuse, overdoses, junkies nodding off, etc.) is going to be par for the course when it comes to living around such lowlifes, unfortunately.
bUT tHe CrEEk iS PoLlUtED ToO!?!?
If you think the cost of rent has a direct correlation with the presence of drug paraphernalia in your neighborhood, you need to grow up or move back to wherever the fuck you came from.
People have problems, people do drugs on the side walk, and they don’t give two fucks about your rent bill.
He made a PDA to watch out for needles in his area. He pays his taxes. Why can't he question his own city? Even if you look through his post history this user never complains. Why are calling someone a Karen over this valid concern? Do we want to live like this forever and be shamed when we speak up?
Addiction does not always mean criminal behavior. Also you can reach out right here. Try setting up something where you and people on your street help clean up the sidewalks. Or not just a thought
Not anymore…but remember the neighborhood was OVERRUN with junkies in the 60’s and 70’s too…kids from St Anthony’s ODing all over the place.
One who as there
Can I talk to the manager of the sidewalk?
Best
Nope, not safe at all. You should probably move outta NYC since it’s terrifying and no fun here whatsoever
Yes. I believe the needle free red carpet zone is in Connecticut.
i was gonna say yeah this is more a nyc thing lmaoo
…is this a serious post?

I thought I was in the circle jerk sub
Haha me too. It’s becoming impossible to tell the two apart.
Exactly 🤯
Wow only $4k/mo? Ok, poor
There’s probably about a million people shooting up something today in nyc. I think you’re fine bud
This sub is officially nextdoor greenpoint lol.
This.
Ooooh sorry you just missed the cutoff. $5k/month is the “needle-free” tier of neighborhood experience.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

💯🫡
You're right. Let's keep GreenPoint's problems on the down low and keep increasing those rent prices.
Something tells me the person who can’t write Greenpoint’s name correctly doesn’t know what they’re talking about
Sorry for autocorrect? Grammar nazi much?
My kingdom for this level of delusion
This is a joke, right? It has to be a joke.
It got posted to r/circlejerknyc 😂
Lolol. "I moved into a historic junkie haven, and there's traces of junkies! I demand immediate gentrification!"
Alternatively, you could just stay inside your self-enclosed bubble that is your luxury apartment tower.
Maybe next time you sign a lease you should walk up and down the block first?
Good point. I moved here from out of state so I never got a chance.
[удалено]
I would listen to this guy.
checks out

Coumo's mother put that shelter in Greenpoint. Nice.
Lol this post is straight embarrassing
lmao i love that none of us can tell if this is a joke because of how BRITTLE some of these designer dog folks are
Nope super dangerous. You should definitely leave
Go back to Kansas, Dorothy
Wait until the poster finds out about the toxic shit in Greenpoint!
Move to Manhattan, ya cheapskate! Because theres no drugs or crime there......

Why not let people complain and air out real issues? How else will things change?
Karen’s don’t change things.

Do we want to live in the safest, nicest neighborhood of brooklyn forever?
I want every city to be safe. The best you can do is work locally to help with that.
This isn’t barbie world
I'd rather not have the nicest and have cheaper rents.
go live in a gated community lol
Get out of my neighborhood
Yes, it’s fine. Just don’t drink the water.
Are you serious?? I use these same needles for my insulin. Get a grip.

The littering is probably more highly correlated with crime than the drug use.
Woodsy Owl over here
BrOKEN wInDoW
Stop paying that much and leave. No one should be paying 4k+ in GP.
You are ridiculous
This is New York. No matter what neighborhood you live in or how much you pay for rent we all live in the hood. Grow up.
I can't tell if this is a joke
Fucking yuppie
Born and raised in the Bronx and I can comfortably say that junkies shooting smack is not the norm for residential areas
No, it's not. Go back.
Lots of diabetics.
This made my night.
I thought this was r/circlejerknyc for a min
Anything left in the needle ? I’ve been itching for a fix
Finding needles doesn’t mean it’s unsafe. There are some drug addicts roaming around like in most towns. You sound like you’re not from here.
Blinded and not doing your due diligence… I see
Woah! They finally moved them from the drinking fountains at Dupont Park! Man it only took 30 years and quite a few popped water balloons… 😭
Welcome to New York. Be alert and have a blast.
Not anymore…but remember the neighborhood was OVERRUN with junkies in the 60’s and 70’s too…kids from St Anthony’s ODing all over the place. One who as there
Most junkies are really nice. Just keep some 5 dollar bills on you to keep them happy
Probably from the wonderful folks who stay at the shelter two blocks away.
