If you're a pansy and have no soul, go to Park Slope. If you wanna live in a vibrant, multicultural Brooklyn neighborhood go to the Hill. So what if you get knocked around a bit.

I would hardly call lots of black people and a few rich white people "multicultural"

but whatever

The average income of Clinton Hill is less than 20,000 a year.

Thank you, 11:59.

Some people in this city consider diversity, 80% black and 20% white, even though the actual country is the exact opposite of that.

It's weird. I never get that. Park Slope actually best represents the overall diverse population of the U.S. better than most neighborhoods in NYC....

The U.S. is only 12% black....not 80% so how is Clinton Hill diverse???

It's predominently black.

if you want multicultural why are you moving anywhere in brownstone brooklyn. All of them are pretty bland.

Sunset park trumps them all if you want a wide range of people

Concerning the racial breakdown of Ft. Greene/Clinton Hill, I don't give a shit what the percentages are. It's a great mix of people of all kinds, and those of you who make up these numbers and toss them around here are, well, assholes. Glad you don't like my hood, because that hopefully means you'll never move here. :)

Also, as clearly articulated above, there are no "projects" in Clinton Hill at all--but who cares, since there are projects and slums all over Brooklyn and Manhattan (Chelsea, much?). Besides, while projects obviously are failed attempts at providing viable affordable housing and are bad for neighborhoods, they are hardly the sole source of crime in NYC.

no one is bashing clinton hill. They are just pointing out its silly to say park slope is not diverse and clinton hill is.

because its not correct

agree, 12:53.

clinton hill is considered diverse maybe compared to inner city birmingham alabama or somalia, but if we are talking the united states of america, clinton hill is NOT diverse.

it is a lovely, mostly black neighborhood.

with some rich white people.

Actually, plenty of people are bashing both Clinton Hill and Park Slope here. But we can take it.

Agreed that it would be silly to say Park Slope is not diverse and Clinton HIll is. I didn't say that. They both are, of course. Of course, there are differences (see above).

There are rich and poor blacks and whites in both hoods. So what? They're both great nabes.
