OR the buyers were really naive, & just didnt know about the folsom event. its a sexual thing, not right for children. personally i would not want to live near a leather area, it is my personal PERFERENCE, even though i dont have children. in the case of chelsea, the buyers win, they hold the purse strings. anon 1:44, see i was right, you agree. the gays will always move around like a wandering tribe. there are too many gay men in NYC for that culture to dissappear. they come, they rehab, they buy. then the cycle starts again. artists & gays pave the way for realestate.lauranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-16498063404391867802013-04-26T13:44:48.594-04:002013-04-26T13:44:48.594-04:00Gay New York is not disappearing, it's moving....Gay New York is not disappearing, it's moving. There are 13 exclusively gay bars in Hell's Kitchen now. THIRTEEN. Plus venues that have weekly gay nights. The Eagle crowd may not be venturing into Brooklyn to hang with the 21-year-old hipsters, but there are plenty of gay and mixed (what a concept!) bars there. The straights have taken Chelsea, but are we surprised? That's always how it goes: the gays make a run-down area nice and then the straights move in and price us out.

I'd want my kid to see and interact with as many different types of people as possible - this is why I'd be raising him in this city (whatever is actually left of it at this point). If you want to raise a child that is going to be a sheltered little flower, that is certainly your choice, and there are plenty of places way better to do it than in the middle of the largest city in the country.<br /><br />Didn't mean for this to be a dig at you Laura - it's just that I don't feel this city has to convert itself into a Disneyland that couldn't offend the average conservative bible belt family.JAZnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-72018489787017460572013-04-24T23:58:30.897-04:002013-04-24T23:58:30.897-04:00As a straight man who always felt comfortable in w...As a straight man who always felt comfortable in whatever surroundings: NOOO...we're screwed.
