Thanks to all that actuall gave me that “unbiased, VALUABLE” insight. Why is it that some people inherently have the need to say something negative about a place that they happen to not like for themselves?
“Sad is the person whose Happiness depends on the permission of others”
If you think about this quote, it really is sad. Some people were saying the same thing about Fort Greene a decade ago. And that comment is not to liken Bed Stuy with Fort Greene. It is however to say that, places change… and a House tour is a great way to see first hand that change at work.
I hope it’s sunny tomorrow, ’cause it SUCKS today!
No need for a turf war. Both Bed Stuy and Crown Heights have the same distinctions and the same problems. Incredible architecture, inside and out,(CH does have more variety)great people, and a proud history and heritage of people who have remained strong and are now reaping the rewards of their diligence.
We also suffer from the same urban ills, which are being cured, little by little, step by step. No need to tussle it out over who’s hood is better/worse. We are side by side geographically and in spirit, and we both have been, are now, and will continue to be, fine places to live, and a smart investment in brownstone living for the future.
See you at the tour tomorrow.
3:41, Money is no object to me. I CHOSE Bed Stuy over Cobble Hill, Park Slope, Ft. Greene, Brooklyn Heights, Tribeca, The Upper West Side. What you fail to understand is that althougth it may not be your cup of tea, there are people that actually love the place.
“Sad is the person whose Happiness depends on the permission of others”
Who says, 3:41? Just because you would not choose to live there, doesn’t mean plenty of other people feel the same way. Most of the newcomers I’ve met wanted to move here, they didn’t settle for something less. Nice neighborhoods all, but not everyone wants to live somewhere else. They chose to live in Bed Stuy, and don’t regret a minute or a dollar of their purchase. Let’s not project your opinions on the rest of the buying public.
That says something, yes.
Well this is entertaining – not. I’m looking forward to the tour. Ever time I walk down the gorgeous blocks of Bed-Stuy (and imagine that I lived to tell the day), I regret having bought in my skanky corner of Clinton Hill. But then again I wanted to be able to walk to BAM, Prospect Park, etc. Really looking forward to the tour.
where is bed stuy?
is that kinda near brownsville?
“Bed Stuy has the best brownstones in Brooklyn, period.”
WRONG – Crown Heights has more diversity of styles and types of structures, from mini-mansions to apartment houses to stately brownstones, designed by some of the country’s most celebrated architects.
