MM, you’re ASSuming I’m missing those things. People can only “hold their nose” for so long before they get fed up with legitimate quality of life issues, and open air drug dealing, along with people who don’t care to keep their neighborhood clean are a problem. It’s really a shame that such a beautiful neighborhood has to deal this mess.
I don’t own a business, but I’m going to start talking to business owners about a BID. This can at least lead to some people paid to keep trash off the streets and it’s definitely something this neighborhood can benefit from considering all the changes.

True, dh. I know plenty of people who have their stuff delivered by people who look like them, upscale yuppie types of all persuasions. They may not have the local Rasta guy, or the stereotypical hoodie drug dealer knocking at their door, but a drug dealer is a drug dealer. They just have more upscale marketing and delivery
back in the day when i smoked weed i used to get it delivered from a delivery service called c.artoon n.etwork, or maybe it was c.artoon e.xpress… it was always hysterical seeing who would be knocking on your door. they were totally clean cut and would probably never raise suspicion. so yeah sooo very under the radar i guess until they got busted.

There’s just as much drug dealing in expensive, gentrified neighborhoods as there is in Crown Heights. Maybe not out in the open, but they’re there.
visible open air drug trade really screws up a neighborhood. there’s a huge difference between a crack ho walking up to you offering 5 dollar blow jobs so she can go buy her crack than someone discretely smoking a blunt. but there’s really only one open air drug trade in crown heights, right? makes you wonder why it’s not squashed. MM do you have any insight into why that is?
DH, lemme tell you, taking the M away from PS has resulted in some seriously overburdened R trains. And wait until school starts… I’ll probably just walk all the way into Manhattan every day.

“the R used to be a GREAT commute into manhattan before they gave away the M train to stupid williamsburg.. ”
The M train ALWAYS ran through Williamsburg. The M in Park Slope was a part-time rush hour extension. Makes perfect sense to get rid of a train that’s underutilized to improve the transit in neighborhoods with heavily burdened trains.
