[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Size, incomers, not as many families living in same ward for generations except maybe SE and some NE. [b]Also in NYC a borough is more self sufficient. You can live,work marry, raise kids and never leave Brooklyn or Staten Island.[/b][/quote] This. Ethnically self-seggregated burroughs in NY, that were self sufficient communities that didn't want to intermingle with others not like them, and many of the people being poor meant they didn't travel, which created the distinct accents.
