Would I gain the right to start talking about how there aren't bodegas anywhere else in the world?

At the very least you could have the ability to claim "we" make the best bagels in the world!
I mean, it's a fact anyway. I'm on long Island so I'm allowed to say that lol
Being in the position of having kids soon, free childcare is legitimately a huge boon to me wanting to move to NYC if we weren't already in a stable situation.
you've gotta live in the city for like 10 years at a minimum before you can even open your mouth about bodegas or the MTA so I don't think this plan is well thought out
the Queens grandmothers are not going to be happy when you knock on the door to canvas and they ask you "where are you from" and you say "i just moved here" they're gonna kill you
i say this as the son of a native NYC resident who moved out of the state (why did you fuck your children like this mother, we could've been living in Rochester or Albany since you didn't wanna raise kids in the city, why did you move out of the state...) but every time she goes back, our cousins/uncles/her friends who still live in the city will NOT give her the time of day once she starts yapping about how X or Y has changed - except for the Chinese restaurant they all used to eat at around Christmas, apparently it was the highlight of their childhood and all of them will get real morose anytime one of them brings it up.

There is no plan. The idea is to begin planning so that if good things happen, people can take advantage of it quickly.

That's why I asked which areas to avoid. You don't show up to a tight-knit community that's already organizing and say "I'm here to organize you." At the same time about half of the people in NYC are not from NY. So someone is moving somewhere and that has to be part of the equation. There are more roles than canvasing.
Not sure how many others would be up for it but this became my plan yesterday
I was born in this city and I must return to help Zohran take it back from the bastards who made it too expensive for me
Currently upstate living with my parents so I don't need a place to stay full-time, just the bare minimum to obtain legal residency to vote and have a place to crash after door knocking on nights where I can't return upstate
