Safta: how are we supposed to know that? And who decides what “locally” means? Plenty of people here are in E”Y, and exterminators are much more commonly needed in E”Y than in the NY area, I believe.
No insult intended, but I think calling Brooklyn “locally” is a bit denigrating to the rest of the world. Why not write “I am looking in the NY area”, “I am looking in Brooklyn”? Is “locally” synonymous for “NY”?
