In regard to Angry Joe's statement that you should move out of Brooklyn, either "love it (as it is) or leave it", as it were, he is in sad need of further education. The things it seems he wants you to "love" or at least accept as part of city living, are actions and behaviors which are rude, inconsiderate and also illegal. And just as our friends in the suburbs expect that both neighbors and visitors abide by the laws of their communities, so should we Brooklynites expect the same, as well as that the police uphold the laws. Perhaps Joe needs to be reminded that vehicle horn blowing in the absence of an emergency is a punishable offence. Maybe he "loves" it on his part of Clinton Street, and that's fine. Maybe he'd also love a repeal of the "Pooper Scooper" Law on his part of Clinton Street, and he could also let the public know that he wouldn't object to public urination in front of his home as well. It seems Joe isn't just angry, he's also ignorant.
