Today we look at how Bay Ridge Nativism affects the neighborhood discourse (and thus, our politics). We'll interview former and current Bay Ridge residents, as well as political candidates, to see what they think. We'll explore different ways of looking at Bay Ridge based on where and when you were born. Does an emphasis on birthplace and/or residency drown out and discourage other voices and opinions? Does an idea have to start in our neighborhood to be of value or improve our lives? In short, does local nativism make Bay Ridge more -- or less (and we're betting you can guess which side we're on) -- welcoming? And given that, how does this phenomenon manifest in our politics, and how can we work to counter (or eliminate) it?
