Difference in neighborhoods west and east of BQE

Hi - I’m (25F) moving to Williamsburg next month from out of state for a new job. Curious about the difference in vibes between neighborhoods west/east of the BQE, if any. Any info would be appreciated!

Gentrified graffiti

What I can only assume is Mario Mangione based on phenotype and ability to gain access to the building. Trader Joe’s bag for the art supplies makes me think this could even be 7SoulsDeep on a side quest. Pure chaos as well to tag an area that the general public can’t see. Please drop your theories as to what could be going on in his twisted creative mind or what part of the boot he might be from.

People here getting upset when someone mentions they want to move somewhere “safe” is so dumb. Some parts of NYC are safer than other places and that’s OK.

Jeez, people here get so upset when out of towners put words like safe, not sketchy, etc in their description. Even as a guy whos lived here for my whole adulthood, there are places in NYC that i dont feel safe in. So lets not act like its such a big deal when someone wanting to move here mentions that they want to live somewhere SAFE. There are undesirable parts of NYC that would be FOUL to recommend someone to move there. Stop the act.

What can we do about Skillman’s Screamer?

Seriously, this person screams and bangs on their window almost every day, night and morning. I sleep with earplugs in both ears and still wake up to this damn shit, last night at 3 am even though I don't even live in the same building.

What can we do about this? Police car has been many times in front of the building, but this person had stopped screaming then (when the police are in the front). What can I do? Do I just have to move out if this kind of thing gets on my nerves?

I guess the screaming person needs help as well.

Central Park Speed Limits

How can you seriously talk about a 15mph speed limit for pedal bikes in the park when you’ve got people like this riding actual motorcycles and menacing bikers and pedestrians with no consequence. As if one wheelers, scooters and the pedi cabs weren’t bad enough. There’s so much worse behavior in the park that is already illegal and makes it less safe for everyone.

“Looking for IPO’s?” This shit is and has been weird and keeps getting weirder

We’ve been talking about these IPO’s for a while. The shilling for them is just non fucking stop. This was the message on the login screen for my E*Trade app today. I don’t think these end well. I’m not touching any of them.

Sorry had to make a separate post since the comments are locked. I am pretty sure I witnessed part of this altercation while I was running in Central Park. I’ve added proof from my Strava with the time and I think it lines up.

I’ll start by saying, I only witnessed a few minutes of it and continued on my way so I’m lacking a lot of context and could have easily misread this so take with a grain of salt. But from my brief time seeing this, a man with long black hair was filming the biker above taunting him and asking him repeatedly if he’s going to assault him and wouldn’t get out of his way. From my perspective it seemed like the person with the camera was trying to get the biker to do something on camera while the the guy on the bike was trying to get him to leave him alone (I might be completely wrong ofc).

Considering that the cameraman appeared to be filming the whole thing, I think it’s important they post the video instead of this one photo to share more context of what actually went down. Because from what I saw it’s also possible that the cameraman is the one in the wrong. Just thought id mention what I saw before anyone passes judgement on either side!

So my comment to OP is if you’re the guy with black long hair who was filming, please share the full video. Because something does not add up.

Thank you!

Edit: (in response to the original OP since replies disabled!)

It seems our stories line up so I believe you now! Hope they catch him! Didn’t mean to stress you out with this and sucks to be accused of lying on top of being a victim. Sorry for that but hope you and everyone understands why I had to share my pov and ask for more context!

I think to some, your post kind of read like someone potentially experiencing paranoia. the gang comments I think are referencing a subreddit of people who share a delusion that they are being stalked. Add your comments about running 20 miles a day (not common) and my account of the event to it, made it all reasonable to believe that you might have been making some stuff up.

Thanks for clearing it up and hope the issue gets resolved!

Inb4 anyone who believed the original posts tries to ‘I told you so’. I think doubting vs believing OP were both reasonable takes. I don’t think what ended being the reality takes away from that.
