Just Sold! [NY Post]
Anyone who would seriously consider BAY RIDGE (of all places!) after living in PLG deserves Bay Ridge. Enjoy your commutes!
9:23 The section 8 housing is awaiting those who can’t afford to live in the city anymore cause mom and dad are not helping ,those whose 5 roommates cant afford the new rent and lastly those moving to NY. Now that a certain element is moving in,I am sure property values will decrease. AFter all, former trailerpark residents tend to do that.
And the people talking to themselves are probably praying that you keep it moving to Bayridge or Bensonhurst.
LOL…
I think some of those people are regular posters on this board….
I’ll say one thing for PLG: It sure has a buttload of Section 8 housing.
All those people walking around talking to themselves? Nope, they ain’t on cell phones!
PLG, start doing something radically different for this family, otherwise we’re outta here!
In fact, nevermind. We’re already looking for a new home in Bay Ridge.
Hello again, all. Busy day.
Bob and Bren, thanks for the welcome!
As for the usual neighborhood-better/safer-than-other-neighborhood usual comments, I personally happen to believe otherwise (from reading the news, talking to people, participating on brooklynian boards for the last few years, checking gothamist newsmap for kicks, etc.
But to each his own, and I honestly think that crime today is not what it was 5, 10, n years ago and that all these neighborhoods are safer than they used to be, and that residents of each notice improvements in their own neighborhood but may still have old data stuck in their head about all the other neighborhoods, and just want to assert a little local pride (often at the expense of others).
New York is New York, and Brooklyn in specific is Brooklyn, and many of us love it for everything it is, warts and all.
None of us would trade living here for Omaha (or wherever) for that very reason, it’s all part of the character of living here.
I guess there will always be those who see it as a zero-sum, mine’s improved and yours is worse equation, but if people really had pride in where they lived, they’d love all of it for what it is and not pit themselves against their neighbor insisting that this formerly rough area (for weren’t they ALL…) is much better than that area.
Anyhow, overall we had a lot of choices for where to live, and our decision was based entirely on what mattered to us, simple as that.
And we continue to really appreciate all of Brooklyn (yeah, we do branch out, friends in lots of neighborhoods) for what it is, and care little for minor turf squabbles. Kinda pointless, really.
Anyhow…looking forward to getting to know more people in the neighborhood, and just pleased overall that such an attractive, family / neighbor / community-friendly pocket along the park and major transit lines etc. still existed at an extremely reasonable (relatively speaking, granted…) price.
So PLG, keep doing what you are doing, as far as this family is concerned.
I don’t like PLG because I’m racist and black people scare me. At least in Prospect Heights I’m not so far from Park Slope, where it almost feels like the suburbs.
I’ve lived in PLG for two years and I love it. It’s convenient for us in a number of ways, especially my wife, and we plan to stay for a long time.
PLG house had a back-up cash offer for $700K, but the owners didn’t take it.
