Elected officials are starting to make some noise about the city’s plan to re-open and expand the House of Detention on Atlantic Avenue, according to the Brooklyn Eagle. On Thursday Councilman David Yassky is going to hold a press conference decrying the plan, and he’s expected to be joined by Councilman Bill de Blasio and Comptroller Bill Thompson. The event will mark the first time politicians speak out in a big, organized way against the plan. The Eagle also mentions the new neighborhood group that’s formed to protest the House of D reopening. The group, Stop BOHD, has placed signs like the one above all over Cobble Hill and Boerum Hill. One of Stop BOHD’s members is a lawyer from a firm that successfully sued to stop a similar House of Detention opening in the Bronx.

11:00- I lived 2 blocks away on Schermerhorn and Boerum for over 20 years and only moved a few years ago. I think I know the neighborhood far better than you do.

Asswhat,!!!!!?????
Such a potty mouth.
Acknowledgement of this anger is a good start. It is important to contemplate and see the faults of anger, see that it is a blemish, see that it is a trouble maker in our lives. The first step is quite often contemplating to see what is the result, what is the effect of this thing called ill-will, anger, on our lives, physically, mentally and socially.
Can you snatch the peeble from by hand, Asswhat?

U.S. Consumer Confidence Fell More Than Forecast (Update1)
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aersfm0XlvLg&refer=home
June 24 (Bloomberg) — Consumer confidence fell more than forecast this month to the lowest level in more than 16 years, raising the risk that Americans will retrench after spending their tax rebates.
and..
Falling property values, rising unemployment and higher food and fuel bills have shaken consumers and may cause purchases to slump once the rebate money is gone.
Come on Asshats! Tell me we are OK..
The What (I’m Loving it)
Someday this war is gonna end…

I would like to see you in handcuffs as you drive your car whizzing by this isolated neighborhood every two seconds. That would make all the officers and the innocent to proven quilty all hot and sweaty.
You obvioulsy have no clue about the neighborhood.

Mortgage defaults and foreclosures are adding to the glut of properties on the market, while stricter loan rules are making it more difficult for prospective buyers to get financing. The prolonged real-estate slump, along with higher fuel prices and a shrinking job market, is taking a toll on consumers and the economy.
WOW you can cut and paste this breaking news we all know what is going on…I understand all of these factors I am in finance. Its doesnt take much to cut and paste the front page of bloomberg and act like you know what you are talking about.
The bottom line is you live in Clinton Hill worry about your area becasue there is a lot to worry about and let people of Downtown,BH,Cobble, Carroll worry about their area.
This area is one stop to wall street and yes I know all the layoffs at goldman and citi so dont cut and paste another article…I feel real estate in Manhattan and prime brooklyn will hold up because of conveniuence to Manhattan and the desire to live in the neighborhood.
BTW financing will only get easier from what it is currently it cant get any stricter and wont. So again keep your negativity to yourself and here it is Iwill say it again PRICES ARE NEGOTIABLE anythime that was the case in NYC it was always a buy so throw offers out there and you never know if someone has to get out of there place…OR keep renting for another 20 years like THE WHAT (ass munch)and pay for someonelse to get rich…
LEt me ask you an honest question you buy a 1bd apt in prime brooklyn you live there for 4 years then you rent it out for the next 20 are you going to make money at the end????
The answer is YES… over time realestate in NYC will be fine…
“Free yourself from this bondage called anger”
As soon you and the rest of the Asswads leave Brooklyn.
The Guest is my son. Let me ask you one question? How did you get out of your mother mouth?!
The What (Get Bent!)
Someday this wr is gonna end……
“I am not saying in someone elses neighborhood I am saying redo RIKERS is what should be done…” It seems that redoing Rikers will be far more expensive and problematic than expanding the BHOD. And it won’t save money or be more efficient in transporting prisoners back and forth to the courts.
So what is the big deal? That you won’t like the building? That you might have to see a man in handcuffs or a cop working? Because right now the big issue seems to be simply aesthetics. Not a big priority for the justice system. You can’t even claim the BHOD has hurt the neighborhood or is responsible for crime. It’s on a corner of a huge intersection with cars whizzing by every 2 seconds. It’s noisy, unsafe because of traffic, and pretty much isolated. It has police everywhere and it is situated to be close to the courts and transportation. I repeat- what is the big deal?
