Blackstoner - if you don't like the Payless, Target, etc...in Flatbush then simply stay in your yuppie favorite areas of Carroll Gardens and Park Slope. You can buy your American Apparel tee stroll around Smith Street and feel great about not shopping in a "ghetto establishment".

Hardly.

Mentally unstable women crapping on your stoops and wondering endlessly when Whole Foods will arrive...Wow, you guys have huge problems in your neighborhoods!

Yes, I do believe nice construction can exist in low to moderate income neighborhoods. The post made me angry because the term "future crack house" was used to describe what may occur if these homes did not sell. Do you REALLY think if this construction was in Park Slope and wasn't selling that Brownstoner would ever think to call it a future crack house?

I don't think so...

"Crack houses only move into neighborhoods that allow them."

Um, okay Charles Bronson...

Thanks Bill, but please know I am not a sensitive weirdo who is easily offended. I read the post and thought if these homes were in nicer neighborhoods, the term future crack houses would never even come up. Yeah, they are very ugly and then one in Bushwick is (unfortunately) on my street. I walk by and frown when I see the tacky construction, but I'd never associated crack with it. Yes, it was a joke, but I didn't laugh.

It's offensive - plain and simple and I'm voicing it. I'm over it now...

I understand the market has tanked, but as a homeowner in Bushwick I am truly offended by your term upscale "crack houses". Sorry the homes you picked out are in low to moderate income neighborhoods: Crown Heights, Bed-Stuy and the Wick but contrary to what you think we don't have people squatting and smoking crack in homes that are being constructed. I know these neighborhoods are shocking for your white laced eyes, but please note, we can't all afford to live in your white over priced yuppie neighborhoods: Carroll Gardens, Boerum Hill, Park Slope, etc...You should be more responsible with your words.
