jesus christ, how are these "people" so scared of everything? so scared of having to interact with your community?
I went as a fat cracker australian tourist and it was this easy:
land domestic flight
catch train to brooklyn, ride train like normal person while literally carrying suitcases and backpack
stumble into random building in darkness to find accomodation
wake up, google closest atm/bank
withdraw literally hundreds of dollars on the street because you need to carry cash in your shithole country
put cash in wallet like a normal person
buy bagel
get drunk
wear small day backpack for 5 days straight to carry water and snax
buy deli sandwich
buy the guy next to me a beer at WWE raw in MSG because he was cool and didn't smell (particularly notable for wrestling fans)
get drunk
ride subway a few more times
give unhoused dude a 20 because i was actually forced to carry cash
leave
As a Jew, I can confirm this. While I was smart enough to keep quiet about my Jewish heritage growing up, I was still very much an outcast in high school and I remember talking with an uncle's neighbor about how I would love to live in NYC and he mentioned that cities are for "freaks and elitists" (Not only am I smart enough to know 'elitst' is codword for something else, but you're NOT being an elitist by looking down on nonconformists) and "we'll teach you how to be a real man here in the country."
One of these days I'm going to GTFO and live somewhere with my fellow weirdos, and I don't care if I'm broke in the process.
I've visited New York and Long Island before, but outside of Hawai'i. In my experience, the sense of community there is as good as it gets in the US.
It's a shame property values are so high there, because I would have gotten myself a 1-bedroom apartment there the NANOSECOND I graduated college instead of wasting half of my 20s rotting in a conservative rural/suburban shithole.

CW: Antisemitism
The chief obstacle to [fascist] utopia was the disordered realm of the cities — cauldrons of ethnic intermingling, voluntary associations (of unionists, bohemians, Communists, gays and feminists), and general squalor — which offended fascist sensibilities of order, cleanliness and efficiency. It is no coincidence that the ultimate villains of Hitler's world view were also seen as the most quintessentially urban: Jews, barred from agriculture, lived largely in cities; according to Hitler, urban squalor spread outward from their filthy ghettoes. The Nazis even used a distinctly urban fauna as their chief metaphor for Jews. Like rats, Jews were inescapably "adapted" to the city. To eliminate one meant eliminating the other.

My neighborhood is very Jewish and it rules
I wish I had a Jewish deli where I live
I've switched. Now I tell everyone. If they care at all what I think it makes them less likely to let something antisemitic slip.
Never been to NYC but my experience in USA is that there is 0 sense of community anymore on the streets/public transit. Even Canada is much better
So many people think like the tweet where even if you try, they'll think you're a scammer or some nutcase and just look at you weird/ignore you
