I agree: this is an interesting read. Although the translation is a bit awkward at times, the point more or less gets across. Above all, I (and I suspect I speak for many of my fellow Greenpointers when I write this) want to know is where these folks found a studio apartment for $1,000 a month. I haven’t seen one of those in years. Check it out!

There was an article about this not too long ago in some local press outlets. Found one: http://thenypulse.com/2009/11/18/in-foundering-economy-polish-immigrants-head-back-home/
“Firstly, there is a job.” Envious am I. Not so is it in my neighborhood. 🙁
