Brooklyn is the Place

 

People have different preferences when they choose a city in which they want to live in, but most have the opposite taste in their current inhabitance. According to social statistics, people who lived in big metropolis cities tend to live in a more quiet environment, whereas people who lived in the country side tend to live in big cities. I lived my entire life in big cities, but I always chose my hometown Brooklyn to be the best city that anybody could live in. First of all, Brooklyn has many diverse communities living together, which is actually an easy way to encounter and experience foriegn customs. Since the population is consisted of Asians, African-Americans, Hispanics, and Jewish people, rather than being mostly made up of Caucasians, there are many restaurants and shops that are related to their culture. Also, many people have this dream on wanting to live in New York, especially Manhattan, but because of the high price existing in the city, it is difficult for most of the population to live in this area. This is the point where I would recommend Brooklyn the place to live if you wanted to be residented in New York. Unlike Manhattan, Brooklyn has a more reasonable price range existing in the society which is similar to Seoul or most of the middle class cities in the U.S. If I had to be exact, the price range is almost one-third of Manhattan in Brooklyn. If you want to experience foreign customs and the NY'ers lifestyle while being residented in the same city, Brooklyn is the place to be.

  1. Thanks to your writing, I gain some information of Brooklyn. Two reasons are quite persuasive. But I think there is lack of detail, especially at the first reason. If you give special examples scenery or atmosphere of diverse culture, it would be better.
