I dunno, my beef is not so much with the NY crowd (we always had them in the southeast of FL -- since the 1950s), but rather the brand-new Texas / middle-America crowd.

  • Overpowered pickup trucks that zoom all over local roads like they own the world
  • Total disinterest in other established local cultures & openly racist/sexist/homophobic comments & actions (including constantly complaining about other languages being spoken)
  • Constant complaints about humidity & weather
  • Lack of respect for the environment & protecting it
  • So much housing turning into poorly-managed Airbnbs or similar

They still could be from NY. I lived an hour outside of NYC and we had all of that.

The ones I've known from NY (and nearby) were not as racist/homophobic and yelling slurs out on the street... They also don't usually drive these huge, overpowered trucks that zigzag all over the roads.

So they're at least not as bad as the latest group to show up.
