Thanks for this righteous post.
There is nothing to be done. The total essence of this neighborhood has been slowly destroyed over the years as more douchebags come to live here. The Polish community which was what Greenpoint was known for is now extinct because of the overpriced coffee shops, galleries and other monstrosities. The more publicity Greenpoint gets, the more the natives hate the neighborhood. More developments will be rising until it’s a shell of what it was. RIP to the original Greenpoint
