Pizazz? How about Williamsburg? But I guess someone who uses the word pizazz would pick Park Slope.

I moved out of there for a reason...hello, why did Blue Ribbon shorten its hours?!

Are those balconies?! Heck yes I'd get a one bedroom there. How does Rapid Realty get all those exclusives?!

It's interesting how "guests" seem to have no problem stating their opinion, with no information to back it up, or even a NAME - you're just talking...talking...talking...

don't worry. Guest only talks like that as guest. He's a probably a charmer!

I may just be an idiot and the late afternoon Thursday haze may be settling in, but why can't I find any map of this year's Tour De Brooklyn. The website is surprisingly uninformative. Anyone help?

My prediction: You're gonna die.

See. Like I said. People will resent you for being white and assume you have money and have taken property from someone who isn't who used to live there. CH is full of black people who have a chip on their shoulder and some white people who think themselves cool for living among them.

Clearly what 1:18 finds so annoying about community oriented headphone wearers she doesn't see in her ghetto nabe is that they are white.

To the original poster -- I agree with the poster above that Clinton Hill is not "ghetto" in any way; personally, I like the neighborhood but also have always felt that Lefferts Place is distinct from the rest of the neighborhood because it is on the east side of Fulton.

But that's not the question you were asking -- rather it is whether this specific _block_ on Lefferts has any problems. And every neighborhood has good and bad blocks (it's just a question of how good/bad and how few/many).

From your postings, it does not seem that you are deliberately looking for a housing situation in which you intentionally are the interloper or outsider challenging the status quo, so the number one priority should be whether you feel comfortable.

The best advice people I ever heard given to a new transplant from outside NYC is this: go to the neighborhood at 11 PM (perhaps with a friend or two), walk from the subway to the building you are thinking about, and judge for yourself whether you feel Ok.

If you feel safe, then ignore the people posting who want to turn your question into a race/gentrifier issue. If you don't feel safe, then that answers your question.
