Prospect Lefferts Gardens: Next Condo Frontier
February 5, 2006–How hot is Brooklyn these days? So hot that condo developers are seeking building sites even in Prospect Lefferts Gardens — where single-family homes are the only thing that’s allowed in a big section of the neighborhood, because of deed covenants that date back to the 1890s.

February 5, 2006–How hot is Brooklyn these days? So hot that condo developers are seeking building sites even in Prospect Lefferts Gardens — where single-family homes are the only thing that’s allowed in a big section of the neighborhood, because of deed covenants that date back to the 1890s. And other parts of the nabe are included in a city landmark district, which also limits new construction. Builders are heading to this area despite the relatively low supply of available sites because of the continued strong demand for housing in one of the hottest boroughs. “The pattern in Brooklyn is a repeat of a century ago. First people settled in Brooklyn Heights, then the brownstone belt was created, then radiating bands were created outside the brownstone belt,” said Kevin Holmes of Massey Knakal Realty Services. “It’s a reclaiming of the brownstone belt.” (More…)

Ok, what’s the deal with the safety of the neighborhood. For the people who feel unsafe, is it just an unsafe feeling? Cat calling, or serious conferentations? I felt iffy about moving to the neighborhood from spanish harlem, and now half these users have scared the bejesus out of me!!??!
yeah!
Get thee behind me, Troll!
No point in these petty tit for tat posts–they’re getting pretty tiresome. I will not be posting any more replies to obvious trolls in this particular thread, although I’ll continue to post comments in future threads about PLG whenever it seems appropriate.
You mean you’ve been exposed. You aren’t fooling anyone.
Give it up Brownoser–you and your troll friends have been exposed–go practice your malicious nonsense somewhere else.
All that person said is that he thought the people from PLG were at fault here. He has a right to that opinion. He was not belligerent or insulting, so don’t label him a troll. If anyone is a troll here, it’s YOU.
Anon 9:20, you are way too late. The orchestrated shoot-out is over and a truce has been called. Oh, yeah, guess that doesn’t matter ’cause trolls like you thrive on creating blog discord and disorder.

The Common Blog Troll
Scientific name: Blogus-trollus
Physical Characteristics: Since the common blog troll is a very elusive species and tends to emulate homo sapiens when confronted in Real Life (the habitat of homo sapiens) it has thus escaped proper description. It is said that its head is covered with green warts and its body largely resembles a cone.
Color: Yellow-green, orange, red, black, white, purple and variations there-of.
Habitat: The common blog troll can be found nosing around any weblog that allows the posting of comments.
Belongs to the common troll group.
The Common Blog Troll is a recently discovered species, most likely evolved from the Common Usenet Troll or perhaps its close cousin, the Common Forum Troll. Its primary source of nourishment is a response to its excrement, which is left in the form of a comment on any weblog which allows comments. Its best not to feed the troll, otherwise it might make itself at home and litter said blog with ever growing piles of excrement. Once the pest moves into a weblog the best way to eradicate it is by the use of “IP Ban” which comes free with many forms of weblog — if yours does not possess such feature you can always enlist the help of a local system administrator.

I also want people to get along, though it’s clearly the Lefferts people who are to blame for this fracas.
