Re: “Record Foreclosures…”
Foreclosures appear to be slowly creeping over to middle class nabes.
Look at Brooklyn map. Find Washington Ave. from Prospect Park. Draw straight line from there to Clinton Hill. And this was only 2006 – before the sub-prime attention in the media. The article claims that foreclosures have skyrocketed within this first quarter.
