Something's off about this list. I can't find Brooklyn Syndrome on Wikipedia and think the description is confusing.
The main source I found on Brooklyn Syndrome is from the Names journal [0], which has a nearly identical description.
I wonder if this article is a direct copy of that journal article with lazy paraphrasing from the Atlas Obscura writers to avoid plagiarism. If so, this makes me wonder how much of Atlas Obscura was created this way.

- dimal 3y agoA quick google found this [0], a citation from 1943. Seems to check out, but the source says it's kind of a joke term. https://www.sciencenews.org/archive/brooklyn-syndrome https://www.sciencenews.org/archive/brooklyn-syndrome
