which houses were your favorites?
yeah, it must have been a serious success with the ONE comment about the home tour.
It doesn’t take long for the “ASSHOLES” to show up. The Tour was amazing. EVERY Home had its own identity and beautifully done.
And as long as idiots like 11:41 think like they think, we can continue to prosper in our own community with out the infectious hate that some new comers bring.
WELL DONE, Brownstoners of Bed-Stuy!!!
Well,I went on the tour today and it was really nice. To see homes in various states of renovation or completed renos.. Beautiful day!
there’s too much segregation in brownstone brooklyn.
i’m moving to gravesend.
I lived in BedStuy for 20 years starting in 1976. I remember moving there with great trepidation, but was pleasantly surprised to find regular working class people and great neigborhoods with nice homes. Sure, it was a period of great crime in the city generally. I wanted to stay, but finally found something in Prospect Lefferts Gardens 10 years ago. My family still lives there, and I am amazed at all the changes there now. I also recall going on the house tour in the 1980s and found it enjoyable. What’s all the fuss about one neighborhood being better than another? It’s all the same Brooklyn, and most times one is unaware when leaving one and entering another. You are never too far from another neighborhood.
The negative comments about certain neigborhoods is not about racism it is more about stupidity, ignorance and cowardice. Brownstones are worth touring, and travel across town or across the globe will always enlighten an open mind.

adding ridiculous divisions to the negative comments quote. Please go outside on Saturday and get some fresh air even if you avoid the tour.
