Here’s a hopeful report: Crime in Brooklyn North precincts—which cover East New York, Bed-Stuy, Crown Heights, and Brownsville—is down by more than 3 percent so far this year, according to the Daily News, with the murder rate 20 percent lower than in 2007 and burglaries down by 12 percent. There have been nine fewer murders in East New York in 2008 than there were at this point in 2007. The neighborhood had the highest number of murders, 31, in the city last year. There’s also been a 12 percent crime reduction in Bed-Stuy and a 10 percent decrease in Crown Heights. The NYPD says the city’s decision earlier this year to have more rookie cops patrolling the streets of high-crime neighborhoods has led to the declines.

“All I know is that crime in Clinton Hill has gone up. It’s nice to hear that there are parts of Brooklyn that are getting better but how are we going to solve the issue in CH and Fort Greene.”
If you were to ask your neighbor, Mr. Brownstoner, he tell you who’s responsible for the rise in crime in your area: marauding teenagers and the “dodgy” people at the Mirrors bar.
Crime must be way up in Lodi, NJ
Oh and by the way, “lower” crime does not mean no crime. Yes you will still see people being arrested sometimes. Seeing arrests is a GOOD thing, a GOOD sign. It’s when criminals and drug dealers are NOT arrested that it’s a sign a neighborhood is not improving.
Oh and what’s with a supposed real estate broker, as The What claims to be, doing with persuading poeple NOT to buy in Brooklyn?
Yeah, THAT makes sense. Again, no logic to what he says. Translation = not true.
Liar liar liar, your suburban tract home is on fire.
“Unlike the Asshats I’m in touch with my community Dave. I was born and raised here and the crime in Asshat hill has gone up.”
Horseshit.
The What is not from Brooklyn. Immediately after he was called out for being a suburbanite a few months ago, he NEVER argued with it, never disagreed with it. Never presented evidence to disprove it. Every bit of evidence over the past year in his posts (which was listed in his accusers’ posts then) all supported the fact he had no clue about Brooklyn and knew nothing about it. Certainly didn’t live here.
Only recently, since he got a log-in, has he just begun to claim he lives in Brooklyn and in the same neighborhood as Brownstoner, no less. (What a coincidence!) And now that he’s started claiming that, he just goes on and on and on about it. Knocking us over the head with it. He WAY oversells it.
In all this he demonstrates incredibly weird, suspicious, abnormal, atypical behavior. Because he’s lying and he’s posting under a persona. I don’t believe anything this guy says for one millsecond. In my business I have to smell out liars and this guy reeks of it.
Don’t believe HIS hype.
“Second, while I am all in favor of vigorous prosecution of White Collar Crime – it doesnt leave you batter, bruised or dead, or afraid to leave your apartment and enjoy going to the park or subway – so such comments are kinda dumb and definitely irrelevant.”
And I’m a total bore.. The Big Boys have wrecked our financial system. We are going into a depression folk’s make no mistake about it! It will take generations to fix this mess and we will go to war to fix it.
You are a clueless idiot…
Subprime, Alt-A Bonds to Extend Drop as Banks Retreat (Update2)

The drying up of lending facilitated by non-agency bond sales is boosting mortgage defaults by contributing to property- price declines and preventing refinancing, according to UBS analyst Laurie Goodman.
Buyers have disappeared amid unprecedented U.S. home-price drops, foreclosure rates and bank losses. Bonds backed by subprime or second mortgages have cost holders an average of 15 percent so far this year, Lehman Brothers index data show.
This is what happens when you let the Foxes run the Hen-House.

Someday this war is gonna end…
“Where the hell are you seeing that???”
Unlike the Asshats I’m in touch with my community Dave. I was born and raised here and the crime in Asshat hill has gone up. I know you and others are trying to justify your decision making process.
Dave I know you 1. Run like hell home from the train-station! 2. Don’t go out after dark unless you are getting into a cab! 3. Have no clue about your surrounding. I’m willing to bet your neighbors can’t stand you. To them you look like a complete clown-ass trying to “Gentrify” their neighborhood.
The upcoming Market crash will make it clear as day you and others made a grave error and put your families is great danger.

Someday this war is gonna end….
Crime down in Bedstuy, great to hear…but I hear gunshots every night. I was recently told by my neighbor that most of the rookies that the 79th precient had patrolling the neighborhood were removed because of budget cuts. On the weekends if they have 5 squad cars to respond to calls about shots being fired just maybe these kids walking around here with guns in their waist wouldn’t feel like they are living in the wild, wild, west.
All I know is that crime in Clinton Hill has gone up. It’s nice to hear that there are parts of Brooklyn that are getting better but how are we going to solve the issue in CH and Fort Greene.
And I’d be interested in knowing the stats for Bushwick. And lastly what’s going to happen when the 6 month period expires…is it going to back to business as usaual?
Just wondering.

The What says…Almost every night I see a ASSHAT riding in the back of a squad car looking for the “perps”
Where the hell are you seeing that???
