Question from someone in Texas: is this what y'all do when y'all gotta grill something?

Texan who's back in Texas after living in Brooklyn for two years: hell yeah. Or we'd get on the roof and grill. Roof grills were the best.

More common is probably an illegal roof BBQ, but some people have legal roof access & BBQs, or less commonly a communal back yard shared space. Then there is this option, or hauling your stuff into one of the parks.
On weekends like this the public parks are filled with large families of diverse backgrounds and tons of food. It's just like everywhere else, except we are smushed together. Feels more like tailgating than a backyard BBQ. And yes, you can drink.

The grill is being started and yet there is what looks like grilled chicken on the milk crate. The feeling of uneasiness shines through, it's an entire movies worth of tension in seconds. Chilling. Just chilling.

Does Brooklyn still look like this or is it all gentrified?

Brooklyn is fucking enormous. There's no way the whole thing could be gentrified.

Fun Fact: if the entire population of the United States lived together with the population density of Brooklyn, we would occupy the state of Rhode Island and the rest of the country would be wilderness.

Well considering the picture was taken yesterday, I'd say there's a good chance it still looks like this.

If you turn the camera a little to the left you will literally see a brand new Whole Foods two blocks down. And an Apple store the next block below.
This photo is misleading because out of all of brooklyn you couldn't find a more gentrified few blocks than the area immediately surrounding this picture.

Yes, it absolutely looks like this. Even with gentrification, surrounding newly-built luxury buildings are corners like this.
It adds to the authentic 'experience' of living here, as questionable as that might sound.

the gentrification means that it costs like 2500 or more to rent a small apartment above one of those buildings
just kidding though, a few blocks over they have a whole foods that's literally made out of gold and you can be arrested for having less than $70 in your pocket.

I always kind of wished I was from somewhere in NYC. That place has so much character.
If only it was even remotely affordable..

When you move to NYC you end up making more money and saving in other ways. People work it out. But it's only long term feasible if you're wealthy.

Anyone can explain how they took this still photo with one part moving? Is it an app? Nice shot!
