In Jackson Heights, Movers Respect Turf Rules
This article helped me understand Kasinitz’s idea about the people of Jackson Heights respecting their ethnic differences because it discussed movers and their different moving companies. “The competition is friendly but fierce,” wrote Maslin. This one line really encompasses the diverse people of Jackson Heights as a whole. They do not necessarily love each other, but they can tolerate and live together in close proximity. They do not blend, and the movers remain “on their turf.” That is the nature of Jackson Heights.
