Hang on, is that really a show? Did I miss that somehow?

Wow, that never occurred to me. That's a much more charitable way to look at it.

I'm convinced that there is an ancient law in Massachusetts that says an intersection can have only one street sign. You can know what street you're on or what street you're crossing, but you don't get to know both. I will go to my grave not understanding that crap.

I will gladly take passive-aggressive. Passive aggression only matters when it's from someone you're forced to spend time with, like coworkers, or someone whose emotions you care about, like significant others. If all the selfish assholes on the New York City subway stopped actively cutting, shoving, tripping,…

We want to go to the north shore of Massachusetts. But yeah, finding a job there is the crucial first step. Not so easy.

Ah, that makes sense. Yeah, more and more of Brooklyn is becoming an extension of the Manhattan real estate market. But that hasn't really filtered into the public consciousness yet, so I am still constantly hearing people say "Move to Brooklyn, you get so much more for your money!" Meanwhile a friend in Bushwick just…

I hear you. But you can travel with your son and expose him to diversity. You can't get a quality education quite as easily. And with the demographic changes going on in the U.S., pretty soon you won't have to travel to find diversity. Bonus.

That's another thing I don't think I'll ever get: the supposed distinctions between Brooklyn — or "the real Brooklyn" — and Manhattan. A coworker once tried to tell me that Manhattan was "white bread" and that all of the ethnic restaurants were just Applebees trying to do Mexican, Thai, Ethiopian, etc. It was easily…

I'm not a sociologist, but I also think there's a "when in Rome" factor to NYC rudeness. It's famed for being rude, and I genuinely think that makes it significantly easier for transplants to be rude after moving here. Because that's how it's done here, right?

When did you move to Brooklyn? My wife and I tried looking last year, and it was absolutely not cheaper — in fact it was more expensive if you looked at it in terms of dollars-per-square-foot. We stopped looking because we got tired of the realtor saying "Wait until you see this place, it's huge," and then walking…
