As a dude that’s never been to NYC a day in my life, why does it seem like Queens is the weirdo borough ?

Like alotta cities have that one section or area of the metro where the ppl from there get labeled as weird

For example in LA it’s Long Beach which obviously I don’t agree with but it is what it is


With nyc, from an outside perspective it seems like it’s Queens

Is this accurate

Queens is huge and diverse. Has the most projects but also is the most suburban and where all the middle class new yorkers supposedly from

Lol Guyanese are people from Guyana, a black and Indian country in South America (technically) but has strong Caribbean roots. A lot of Guyanese people live in NYC. Some of the GOAT food you’ll ever eat

someone recently told me there are guyanese gangs in NYC and that they hold shyt down. I never seen or heard of this before but the image of Indian looking people putting fear in the hearts of their opps just don't compute (I know trinidad is known for indian goons but everything I've seen in docs was them getting killed)

Hmmm not really. I grew up in Brooklyn in a middle class neighborhood, and there are alot of Middle class neighborhoods in Brooklyn as well. Bronx also has alot of middle class neighborhoods in the northern parts

And alot of the middle class neighborhoods Queens gets credit for, can easily be called Long Island

There are a bunch of Trini and Guyanese gang members in NYC but I wouldn’t say Guyanese gangs specifically. Sadly the Guyanese and Trini you see in those gangs are all bruhs. I’ve never seen a Coolie (Indian) bangin in NYC.

you was probably rich (or poor) and didn't know it. What section did you live in?

The costs of renting and owning in Queens are closest to the citywide medians of any borough, making good on Queens’ reputation as the place of choice for middle-class New Yorkers. The median renter in Queens earns slightly more than the citywide median income, but also faces slightly higher housing costs. Homeowners in Queens, however, are slightly less well off, typically earning less than the citywide median income for homeowners and also seeing slightly lower housing costs. The divergent costs of renting and owning in Queens are further corroborated by a recent StreetEasy market report that found rents falling across the borough as sales prices hit an all-time high.

The share of the population living in middle-income neighborhoods is very similar at 33% for Brooklyn vs. 35% for the City. Brooklyn has slightly poorer neighborhoods than the rest of the city, but this gap has declined over the past 25 years.

Queens is the most middle-class borough in New York City. Well over a million Queens residents live in middle-income areas, 54% of the borough’s total population
