"A place that use to be good to live - Getting worse with every newcomer"

Rosedale was a great place to live, back in 06'-11'. Since then it has gotten bad REALLY bad. A lot of the original neighbors have left and the new...are not so great. Nosy, preying, always watching, and plain rude. No one has any communication you can go months without even saying hello to your neighbor and when it happens it is awkward. Sometimes you can see them from the street in their homes looking unto other neighbors, giving off a very unfriendly feel. the neighborhood has changed DRASTICALLY since 06'. Crime has skyrocketed, break-ins are now common(but covered up) roaming packs of "youths" at night playing basketball in the street, bugging their eyes out at you.
Transportation is impossible unless you take the LIRR (7-12$ one way), or a 45min- 1 hour MTA bus ride to Jamaica center (more comfortableness:- ) or you drive. On top of that this bus ride will be shared with the lovely people of roachdale from the proj...housing complexes. Once that pleasantry is over, if your on the bus at the right time of day and year, you will be greeted by all the wonderful "youths" from rosedale, who have grown up since 09', oh the vulgarity. You may even see a sparing off between these "youths", or maybe you'll be lucky enough to join in yourself (forcibly).

These are just some of the things to come in the continuing Cultural Enrichment of rosedale. I have even heard many of the new Neighbors came from Brooklyn, Brownsville, and Bedstuy. Please heed the warning of this post one of the rules is i am not allowed to use any "offensive language"
The only real problem(and reason i may need to move) is the "Youths" and newcomers along with the drop in home values here in culturally enriched Rosedale.
Pros
  • Access to a nice park
  • Diverse population
Cons
  • Diversity and "youths"
