They left canarsie not because the place went to pot, but because their education went to the pot of gold. Canarsie was built to max in the 50s and early 60s for workin class. 25 yrs later the butcher had 2 grown ups.One a butcher also but who wanted a new house like he grew up in so off to Jersey. The second kid a doctor hadd lots of money so he could buy bigger than canarsie so he went to Jersey too.People left cause Canarsie was a trampoline town; built to max with no growth space for the future. I read about towns where adults are 40 and lawyers Cpa or doctors or butchers .Where their grandad lived and he was a shoesalesman. Where 4 generations stayed in 1 town no matter the $ they earned. The truk drivers son ,a cpa lived north of the park and the truk drivers son who was a brik layer lived east of the park .But we were emmigrants and trampolines were for us . Now this generation can land somewhere and put down roots.Where? calif florida. who knows.

No one forced people to leave canarsie. In fact i got a frend who still lives in his house on 81st street fargut glenwd. He grad nyu with teachin degree . He gotta job teachin at ps114. He lived with his parents and in 82 when they wanted to go jersey , he bought the house; close to his job and he liked the neighborhood . Hes now 47 and livin there. When I visit him since we are bes frends I stay in that houise. In a way I too never left cause tho I live in Jersey , I have been in canarsie once a week since always. I feel lik I never left. The folks who left and passed 25 yrs without returning , when they get back , they wax emotional and cry about the Good Old Days and how things changed for the worse. I cant see canarsie as the Good Old Days cause i never left ; my impression of canarsie is how I saw it wen i waqs in 12th grade ; its home.In 12th I never sat around thinking of jhs as the good old days It has changed but its still ok.
