Catching Up on the Bedford Avenue Building Boom
In recent years, the Orthodox community that has traditionally lived in South Williamsburg has expanded south into parts of Bed Stuy and Clinton Hill. Nowhere is this building boom more obvious than on Bedford Avenue between Willoughby and Flushing, where eight buildings (by our count) are currently under construction or reaching completion.

In recent years, the Orthodox community that has traditionally lived in South Williamsburg has expanded south into parts of Bed Stuy and Clinton Hill. Nowhere is this building boom more obvious than on Bedford Avenue between Willoughby and Flushing, where eight buildings (by our count) are currently under construction or reaching completion. And, by and large, they’re pretty fugly. GMAP
I saw a mom run over one of her own kids with a giant double wide stroller in Target the other day. Good thing she has the other five kids to take up the slack.
Blacks, Hispanics, Asians probably even Amish – the Brownstoners love ’em – got to have that diversity man, makes Brooklyn interesting etc, etc, etc,
Yet the Jews – they are “sickening” and build ugly buildings.
Nope – no anti-semitism here
oh and BTW 1:04 Western Societies are not “overpopulating” the world – in fact they are declining (U.S. would be flat but for immigration) – we NEED more kids – who the hell do you think is going to support all the entitlements you are expecting when you hit 62?
For starters, you can advertise the apartments’ availability solely in Yiddish, and only in your sect’s publications.
How can apartments restrict different races from applying? Please explain.
Wonder if anybody has made a Hasidic-themed porno?
“Diddler on the Roof,” anyone?
you can tell a building inhabited by hasids a mile away. ugly little balconies with gates and otherwise non-descript. the reason for the balconies matters little to me, just wonder why they can’t make the effort to have them look a little nicer. ugh.
Next time I see a Hasidic dude, I’m gonna high-five him for all the hot action he’s getting. You go, Schlomo!
Then again, he has to live with six (minimum) brats all around him.
Is it true about the mangled Yiddish? That’s fascinating (and creepy). Although it seems kind of a leap to infer that a dialect is used for the purpose of trapping kids in the sect/cult, no?
PS Every religion is a cult. They’re all the same, except some have cooler hats.
who cares, their girls are hottt!!!
What bothers me about certain Chassidic sects is that the kids (especially the girls) learn to speak a mangled Yiddish (Yinglish), which makes it very difficult to leave (or escape) the sect.
And if you do decide to leave the sect, you are persona non grata. I’m not talking about leaving Judaism, I’m talking about leaving the sect (sect is a polite word for cult).
