MrShaw… I think I might know your family. We lived in 130 3rd avenue. Did your family live in wycoff building 185? Do you have a brother named Robert?
Either way he is telling the truth about Gowanus and Wycoff projects area. I grew up there too from the 80’s and saw it all. When shooting starts you can see the police cars all drive away from the project and then they come back in about 15 minutes after the shooting is over. Ive seen kids ages 13 running around there with guns and shooting them in the parking lot. At times its like the wild west as if cops or the fear of police doesnt exist. I dont feel police should only protect people’s lives because of the color of their skin but in a sense that is what occurs all over Brooklyn. Its always been that way and still is. Anyways as it always seems, they wont do anything about the problem until it affects white people and by then its too little too late.
IM BORN & RAISED IN WYCKOFF HOUSES, I HAVE TO SAY WHEN CRACK CAME OUT IN THE 80’S IT WAS VERY ROUGH, GUNPPLAY DAY & NIGHT & A LOT OF PROSTITUION ON NEVINS ST, I’VE SEEN PLENTY OF CHILDHOOD FRIENDS GET SHOT & GO TO PRISON FOR MANY YEARS. THE 78 PCT NEVER GAVE A CRAP ABOUT THE ENDLESS GUNFIRE COMING FROM WYCKOFF AS LONG AS IT DIDN’T GO DOWN ON DEAN ST, BERGEN ETC. THE TRUTH IS THAT AS MORE WHITE PEOPLE MOVED IN THE AREA THE 78 PCT BECAME MUCH MORE VISIBLE.
i lived in wyckoff gardens for 18 years raised 4 sons and 1 daughter. and it was more safer than walking through a white neighbor and being looked at as if were all monsters. but if we cleaned your home and took care of you its adifferent story then.

You people writing all theses things down about the projects i happen to live in both the projects and i still have family that lives there. Half the people talking on this page probably not even from the city and don’t know how it is to be broke living in New York. some of you might be able to afford a 1.7 mill house but when you live there you have nothing so to people living there they need and they do crazy things for the things they need. so before you New New Yorkers talk, you should find out facts, because when i lived there all them brownstones where crap.
I have live in a brownstone directly right across from Gowanus Houses and right down the street from Wyckoff Houses, and I dont mean to be the bearer of bad news but anyone who thinks this is a safe neighborhood is an idiot.I mean these houses projects are literally “warzones”.My wife has been mugged in broad daylight right on Hoyt St.And im convinced it can happen to anyone.So a word to the buyer of the 1.7 million dollar apartment building: buy bulletproof windows(they’ll come in handy)
Sloper,
Believe me, I hear that attitude all the time. What’s really funny is, who cares whether the PJs are “part of Boerum Hill”? It’s not like there’s a force field around them. If it’s safe to live nearby, it’s safe, but if it’s not, you can call it whatever neighborhood you want — the bullet doesn’t care.

Sorry I jumped down your throat, Linus. I thought that you might have been joking, but there really are people who have that attitude.
As to the price, yes, way too much money…
Sloper,
Um, yes. Joking. Should I add one of those smiley faces for the irony-challenged next time?
