Living in PLG?
I’m considering buying an apt at 45 Martense St in Flatbush just south of Prospect Lefferts Gardens (broker calling in “LG south”). I’ve heard great things about PLG proper and liked what I’ve seen of the area but for a woman alone, does anyone have thoughts about living just south of PLG? One blog mentioned…

I’ve heard great things about PLG proper and liked what I’ve seen of the area but for a woman alone, does anyone have thoughts about living just south of PLG? One blog mentioned Crip/Blood activity on Nostrand and Church which would be my subway – but I don’t want to be irrationally paranoid either.
Also, does anyone know anything about that particular building? My biggest dealbreaker would be a history of bedbugs – anyone have knowledge? The unit is a sponsor unit and it’s offered by Maxx Realty. The builing seemed well-maintained and there was a garden in the works out back.
Any insight on the neighborhood and the building would be much appreciated!
Martense and what????….. Martense is NOT PLG. You’re clearly in Flatbush. Is it safe? Depends. Would not be my first on my choices to rent in, but I don’t know what your budget is like.
Gabriela will paint there. They just won’t use any blue or red on the job.
To all the out of town idiots that are giving you bad advise I will tell you that just a few weeks ago next to the park they killed an innocent kid shot by the bloods the whole area is full of gangs not save run away believe me I know not save I do gang intell.
Still, interesting reading, Heather.
I have a friend who just bought at 70 Lenox and I really love the area. There are lots of shops (though maybe not so much olive oil and espresso) and people say “hello.”
Plus you’ve got subway lines galore and you’re so close to the park.
Hrm, I just posted that response in the wrong thread, how did I even do that?
In Bed Stuy, blowfish? I’d love to, if we could find a good (that is to say gigantic with no kitchen island) place. The Crown Heights apt at 1200 Pacific was on the BedStuy border, that was one thing I really liked about it.
Although damn, as I said before, that mens shelter across the street is really depressing.
Bed Stuy or PLG, I am thinking. But we seriously need to actually save some money. Perhaps I should get one of those… what do you call them… Jobs?

Are there really crips/bloods in NYC, just some young thugs wannabes, or is there really no difference in the end I guess?
there is no difference. i can go out and get a gun, quit my job, stay home all day smoking weed, then get into stupid fights with other people just like myself because they disrespected me and call myself a crip or a blood. a thug is a thug is a thug. perhaps ill do all that and recruit other gay guys and call ourselves the butterflies. our gang color will be chartreuse
