clinton hill/park slope
am thinking of moving to clinton hill or park slope. clinton hill costs less, but park slope is more of an established hood. am also concerned about safety in clinton hill- want to be near the c train but it seems a little dicey around there at night. any thoughts would be appreciated. thanks.

Ok while both CH and PS and Ft Greene are great, I have been living in PS for more than three years and I was attacked and beaten unconcious by 4 kids on my way home about 3 months ago, was in the hospital for two days and went through massive surgery to recover. I am a normal hipster guy in my 30’s, single, alert and never saw it coming! I have been suffering for months now and because of my status as a freelancer all I worked for in my life has been taken from me, I am broke, couldn’t work, and will most likely soon have to move to a shelter or file for bankruptcy because my savings to buy are gone and I have no family and no one to turn to. Be careful anywhere you move! Rich PS = target to get robbed! And I wasn’t even taken for that much!
no what?
They are not both great nabes! Park Slope is a horrible, horrible place and people should no this. Clinton Hill is pretty cool though.
can’t we all just get along?
agreed
Actually, plenty of people are bashing both Clinton Hill and Park Slope here. But we can take it.
Agreed that it would be silly to say Park Slope is not diverse and Clinton HIll is. I didn’t say that. They both are, of course. Of course, there are differences (see above).
There are rich and poor blacks and whites in both hoods. So what? They’re both great nabes.
agree, 12:53.
clinton hill is considered diverse maybe compared to inner city birmingham alabama or somalia, but if we are talking the united states of america, clinton hill is NOT diverse.
it is a lovely, mostly black neighborhood.
with some rich white people.
no one is bashing clinton hill. They are just pointing out its silly to say park slope is not diverse and clinton hill is.
because its not correct
Concerning the racial breakdown of Ft. Greene/Clinton Hill, I don’t give a shit what the percentages are. It’s a great mix of people of all kinds, and those of you who make up these numbers and toss them around here are, well, assholes. Glad you don’t like my hood, because that hopefully means you’ll never move here. 🙂
Also, as clearly articulated above, there are no “projects” in Clinton Hill at all–but who cares, since there are projects and slums all over Brooklyn and Manhattan (Chelsea, much?). Besides, while projects obviously are failed attempts at providing viable affordable housing and are bad for neighborhoods, they are hardly the sole source of crime in NYC.
