Bed-Stuy, Do or...?
About a month ago, an L.A. Times piece on Bed-Stuy had a gentrification-is-happening- not-everyone’s-thrilled take on the neighborhood. Yesterday, our paper of record weighed in with a more nuanced examination of how Bed-Stuy is evolving: “a changing neighborhood not quite changed, transforming not in broad strokes but in half-steps.” The article notes that average sales…
About a month ago, an L.A. Times piece on Bed-Stuy had a gentrification-is-happening- not-everyone’s-thrilled take on the neighborhood. Yesterday, our paper of record weighed in with a more nuanced examination of how Bed-Stuy is evolving: “a changing neighborhood not quite changed, transforming not in broad strokes but in half-steps.” The article notes that average sales prices in the neighborhood have edged down recently, and that it has one of the highest rates of foreclosure in the city. Some well-heeled folks who moved to the neighborhood in the past year or so, meanwhile, say they’re frustrated with the area’s lack of amenities. We just wish there was more variety nearby, for places to go out, says a 25-year-old law student who’s lived in Bed-Stuy for a year and now plans to move to the East Village. You just wish you could go out and have different types of bars and night life nearby. Still, there’s plenty of redevelopment in the area, and Petra Symister, who writes Bed-Stuy Blog, says the neighborhood’s rebirth “is happening in fits and starts, kind of a jerky progression. Henry Butler, 41, chairman of Community Board 3, notes that in his view, more affordable development is particularly welcome: “It’s about income…I’m not looking to Harlemize Bedford-Stuyvesant. My emphasis is on the working people.”

“And you have said Clinton Hill. You went to school at PS 56, right? That is Clinton Hill, sweet cheeks.”
Yep but when I was going there it was bed stuy…
As a long-time reader, I know that you curse all the time. Cursing is a clear sign that you really have nothing to say.
Ok Whatever
And what is your point? That you, a real estate broker, who makes his living selling overpriced housing to people, has suddenly seen the light and realizes the error of his ways?
It was stupid back then! That’s why I not involved with Real Estate.
“Your war was lost a long time ago. Not sure where you have been, but it is obvious that you have spent way too much time with your head up your ass. Asshat indeed!”
Not homeboy the war is still going on..
Stocks fall hard as financial worries take over
Home builders among shares getting slammed

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Stocks finished sharply down on Monday as worries about the economy and the troubled financial system overtook any cheer over a rescue plan for mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac nearing enactment.
See Asshat, your Government is going to bailout the Big Boys and leave you holding the bag. Maybe in 2013 when the thugs are stomping your ass you can tell them “The area of Bed-Stuy near Restoration Plaza has lots of services, including trains (A/C/LIRR), supermarkets, banks and plenty of mom & pop shops.”. I hope they Gun -But you.. Heh heh, boy you are out of your league with me…
The What
Someday this war is gonna end…

“I said Bed Stuy.”
And you have said Clinton Hill. You went to school at PS 56, right? That is Clinton Hill, sweet cheeks.
“Nope Asshats I walk to places too”
Price of gas finally getting to someone who can’t earn a decent wage since your job requires English language skills you obviously never mastered in PS 56? Too bad.
“Rhetorical Answer” = I have no answer to the truth.
“No this is not cursing, Asshat! Long time readers of this Blog will tell you I don’t curse. I have come down because I will drill my points!”

“Now let me tell you something you Kanas Newly Transformed Brooklyn Asshat! I will be here when the crash happens and you run back to “Flat Land”..”
Now let me tell you something. I am from NYC. Since you are a troll, you should know all the boros I have lived in since I have mentioned it on this site.
I have always been here. I will always be here. Too bad your silly little attempts at being ghetto don’t impress.
Your war was lost a long time ago. Not sure where you have been, but it is obvious that you have spent way too much time with your head up your ass. Asshat indeed!

brownstone need work if i were buying i would make the offer low
“I don’t think prices rose because people “jumped on a bandwagon”. I think they just discovered that Bed Stuy does have high speed train access and beautiful homes and enough non-trendy amenities to get by. That, plus the fact that the crime rate has gone down has made it a desirable place to live.”
Hey Asshat, You owe me a new keyboard! I spayed coffee over this one!
Methinks you cop too much of the cracky…

“what, you grew up in Clinton Hill. I know that kills your street cred, but I am sure your criminal record makes up for that.”
I said Bed Stuy.
That is right, it is Nostrand. Good guess. (Not bad for someone who drives everywhere.)
Nope Asshats I walk to places too
You did sell houses to people and now you say they are worthless. Do you take pride in the fact that you sold people assets that have no value and cheated them out of money? Rhetorical question.
Rhetorical Answer.
If you don’t know of any of the mom&pop shops, it is because you never come to bed-stuy, sweetie. Why don’t you stop by some day and learn a little something abuot our neighborhood.
“Our Neighborhood”?! Like you and I neighborhood or Asshat Stuyvesant.
The cursing is simply an indication that you are wrong, yet again. You really have no comeback for anything so you curse and race bait. Tired and played out, just like you.
No this is not cursing, Asshat! Long time readers of this Blog will tell you I don’t curse. I have come down because I will drill my points!
Now let me tell you something you Kanas Newly Transformed Brooklyn Asshat! I will be here when the crash happens and you run back to “Flat Land”..

yourside -its easier to get people motivated about double-parking outside churches than about gun violence.
I think that Decatur house is cute! But it’s Ocean Hill.

@nosleeptil I agree with you 100% he is is right, we need to take care and solve the social ills of Bed-Stuy. I am tired of the gun violence and the attitude that people have by not telling the cops what and where a crime went down. I am rttired when i ssee folk who do not care about there neighborhood only because some do not own, I can go on and on but if we begin to tackle what the issues are and fight against it only then would our hard work pay off and trust me the community board 3 need to a little bit more like really bringing leaders down here to talk about the gun violence
