Bedford-Stuyvesant House Tours Lure Younger Buyers [NY Daily News]
Ok–so here’s where I get confused. The house tour and classes are intended to, as the article states, “lure young buyers”. However, these young buyers ARE the gentrification process that is later deemed harmful. You can’t have it both ways. Also, I don’t see many buppies buying these homes. It tends to be mainly white people that are later vilified for gentrifying a neighborhood.
Thank you for the clarification hot and humid 🙂
envious of crown heights?
try again.
you been smoking the crackpipe, doll.
Crown Heights is a wonderul, landmarked neighborhood filled with more architectural diversity than either Bed Stuy or Prospect Heights. Not suprisingly, the recent house tour was great, so much so that it has prompted bitterly envious remarks from uninformed posters to this site.
Sorry, that was 9 am, not 9:30. This heat and humidity is making me too sleepy to concentrate.
12:36
aetienne,
Just go to Old Boys High on Marcy and Putnam at 9:30. Seminar is held inside.
Location not to be confused with Boys and Girls HS. That’s an entirely different school and not the location of the kick off point of the tour, and is not involved with the tour at all.
You fucking morons are worthless. Go FYS and please don’t come.
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.
Sorry – I meant the Boys HS.
