I effectively lived with my ex in BK in bushwick & then Bensonhurst, it was fun for a bit but i really do love the space and freedom you get in JC

Any location I've gone to from JC to Manhattan vs Bensonhurst was significantly closer and easier than Bensonhurst

People talk about concert venues in this thread but I would argue that several of the concert venues in Bk are in random ass locations (Brooklyn Mirage for example) and a public trans trip from JC to Manhattan for a concert is much closer than some of those living in Bk and going to a venue in Bk

Also the L train is one of the worst trains with reliability and weekend service. I would take the Path over that any day

disclaimer: i also own my place in JC so I'm likely biased!
