1351
01:39:53,195 --> 01:39:56,532
What began with a trickle
has turned into
a flood of Manhattanites
1352
01:39:56,573 --> 01:39:59,702
crossing the East River
into Brooklyn's
Williamsburg neighborhood.

-Many of them drawn...
-DAVE: Our rent had
tripled in three years.
1354
01:40:04,873 --> 01:40:07,876
The landlords cleared out
whole fucking buildings.
1355
01:40:09,044 --> 01:40:10,879
Pushing families out.

KAREN O: I was grieving
the dissipation of the scene.
1357
01:40:20,973 --> 01:40:24,685
I don't want to stick around
and just watch it go away.
1358
01:40:26,020 --> 01:40:27,730
I left New York City.
1359
01:40:29,606 --> 01:40:32,818
I felt too nostalgic for it
when everything happened.

ALBERT: When we first met,
that's what we bonded over,
It was...
1371
01:41:33,378 --> 01:41:37,341
the belief
that we could accomplish
anything we wanted to.
1372

JAMES:
Everything was so innocent,
1373
01:41:42,846 --> 01:41:46,100
and somehow
you lose it through time
1374
01:41:46,100 --> 01:41:49,394
and then
you spend a lot of time
chasing that same innocence,
1375
01:41:49,436 --> 01:41:52,648
that feeling of
just being young.

and your corn-fields
and orchards.
