Crazy facts: 270 Nostrand Ave. is supposed to have affordable housing in it. Do you know that “ALL” the apartments that have been rented are only to Jewish people….. yes, this is a form of discrimination when there’s many people of different race/different sex in this city that need housing and they exclude everybody and just put their people in it only while using city funds to pay for it…. why is this not being investigated? They are doing this too all over north Bedstuy & South Williamsburg.

A 19th Century Factory for the Garment Industry in GreenpointYou really don't know Brooklyn neighborhoods, do you? 16 Bedford Avenue, located between Manhattan Ave. and Lorimer St., is located in Greenpoint, not Williamsburg. Greenpoint ends, and Williamsburg begins, at North 12th Street. BTW, contrary to what some gentrifying flyover state refugees are led to believe, McCarren Park is wholly within Greenpoint. There is no connection to, or with, Williamsburg. Its original name was Greenpoint Park.
