Here’s what Brooklyn would look like if the child-nazis had their way:

A friend of mine made a very true statement that prostitution wouldn’t be necessary if single women in New York would just put out more often.
Atriss,
You can try to make this as personal as you wish. In fact, let’s meet up for drinks sometime and I’ll tell you my whole life story, since you are so interested. Maybe I’m a newcomer – oooooh – but maybe I’m not!
In the meantime, however, the relevant point that is being reiterated on this thread is that both old and new residents alike, including anon at 1:52 who is speaking for the Leffers Place community group, do not want this illegal activity on their street.
Why argue that point?
actually, i guess its more of an upper-middle class aesthetic.
you don’t try to make neighborhoods objectively better. you just try to mold them to your particular bourgeouis and child-friendly aesthetic. in following other such discussions on this site, it seems to me that many of you also oppose the atlantic yards development, a project which could easily be considered “making the neighborhood better”. its not an issue of better or worse, its an issue of yuppie, middle-class taste, which i happen to find bland.
atriss … Congrats on heightening the absurd into the preposterous.
In your world view, no one should try to make their neighborhood a better place. That about sum it up?
archiefina,
how long have you been in the neighborhood and how long have you been waging war against this establishment? if you have grown up in clinton hill and have always been opposed to this flophouse, then i concede and you have my congratulations in gaining this apparent victory today.
if, however, you are a relative newcomer to the nabe, i.e. the flophouse predates your residency in CH, then this is what is so irritating. why didn’t you just move somewhere safer, more palatable to your tastes and more established? why not brooklyn heights? and if you couldn’t afford brooklyn heights, then maybe you should rethink where you really ought to live. its gross when people move into a neighborhood, scheming to change it before the ink has even dried on their corcoran contract.
I support your efforts Anonymous at July 10, 2006 01:52 PM.
Thank you for ridden off these people off our block!
Just to be an asshole, I called the owners and asked them if, in light of their recent problems, they want to sell the place. I’d much rather have condos or some type of real housing on that corner.
