idk, I find it more sad than “sweet” that people are moving to New York with the intention of seeking out friendships exclusively with people who dress the same and look the same as them. The magic of this city has always been how its density forces people to encounter and interact with people different than them, which has the potential to spark personal growth and introduce empathy towards broader perspectives. If you're moving to the West Village to specifically replicate the same experience that you have in Raleigh, what is even the point?
