Bushwick Projects and Environs Safe?
Over on Brooklynian, a concerned mother worries that her attractive daughter is planning to move to a new apartment across the street from the Bushwick projects.

Over on Brooklynian, a concerned mother worries that her attractive daughter is planning to move to a new apartment across the street from the Bushwick projects. The feedback from the peanut gallery is pretty unanimous: She’s got good reason to worry. “Simply put,” responds one board member, “This is a dangerous area and probably a bad place to live if your daughter is not extremely street savvy, large, or armed.” The sentiment is confirmed by another commenter: “Lived near there for three years. Nothing ever happened to me but my girlfriend was the victim of an attempted “push in” robbery or perhaps rape.” Yikes. Should mom bail out her daughter?
Doubt she will spend too much time in her apt – she will be at the McKibben St loft parties doing blow til 8am everynight.
the mother is probably also concerned cuz like most of the adult children kiddiots that infest bushwick and williamsburg, her mother is most likely subsidizing her rent.

No link to the thread on Brooklynian? Now I have to drag my lazy arse fingers over there and find it myself?
sheesh….
Since when does “old enough to make her own decisions” equal “too old to listen to input from people with more experience”?
barf and how much you wanna bet that “attractive daughter’ is butt fug?
*rob*
Ok. I’m gonna take the bait. Is she worried because her daughter is ‘attractive?’ Come the f*** on. If this heifer is street smart she should be fine. Wait. I can’t do this. This is ridiculous. Mr. B., why did you post this? Seriously?
Agree w/Heather! This is a helicopter mother at work. If this were my mother, and she wanted me to speak to her again, she would ask for the entire thread to be deleted. According to the Brooklynian post, the daughter is 25, and she’s certainly old enough to make her own decisions (good, bad, or otherwise).
I hope whoever replies to this will do so based on personal experience. Some of the most ridiculous things get said about neighborhoods by people whose only experience with them comes from dipping into the hysterical collective fear zone.
I think a lot of it will depend upon whether or not she really is good looking.
