Neighborhood names are also shorthand for your rent or mortgage payments.
In 2017, real-estate brokers in the historically Black New York neighborhood of Harlem sparked backlash when they tried to rebrand its south end as SoHa.
At their best, new neighborhood names bring people together over a shared sense of pride in their little corner of the world.
Along the way, these neighborhood names have veered into parody territory.
I'm not saying that neighborhood names should be set in stone — in fact, I think it's natural for them to evolve alongside their populations.
