Poverty, crime, poor schools, and other social ills are here too. But block by block, day by day, those of us who care are doing what we can, and we will affect change. It didn’t all break overnight, it won’t get fixed overnight. I welcome people who can be agents of change and new neighbors. The attitude of the trolls is the stupid mouthings of ignorant, bigoted, gasbags. A lot of sound and fury, signifying absolutely nothing.

I appreciate this and see if you can encourage the merchants who live in your area, or care, to do what we did in Bed Stuy form an Alliance and create a site http://www.shopbedstuy.com; they can call shopcrownheights.com and let people in your area know what is available.
Interesting discussion! BTW, there are homes in CH going for less than the 800 to over a million offerings that usually appear here. They are mostly represented by independent, small brokers who usually advertise with an old school sign out front, or perhaps on Craigslist and the Times. Corcoran and the other large firms get the attention here, but their listings do not represent the entire market of homes in both Bed Stuy and Crown Heights. If someone is truly interesting in buying here, I suggest you go around the neighborhood and catch the For Sale Signs. They do exist.
The giant mansions and other over the top houses that Brownstoner features sometimes make it look as if that’s all we have, architecturally great, and severely out of the price range of most, but we have many more homes that are more affordable, especially if you plan to have a couple of rental units. We do have a large middle class here, always have, and that is the strength that kept these neighborhoods whole.

Looking forward to it, and try to come out on Kingston or Eastern Pkwy or Bedford the following day to support the runners in the 10k going through your area.

Tour starts at 12 noon – 5 pm, at St. Gregory’s RC Church, corner of Brooklyn and St. John’s Place. Take 3 train to Nostrand Ave, among other transit choices.

Wow, Le Toukouleur is an excellent restaurant on Bedford and Quincy – live music and jam session on Mondays, and Tiny Cup on Nostrand and Clifton is a great place.
Tavern is an okay place, but it’s still in Crown Heights, home of some of NYC’s worst Jew hating, gang banging, cop killing, date raping miscreants.
Tavern on Nostrand Is a great restaurant in Crown Heights, nice as anything else in bklyn and Bombay is great for Indian on Franklin – they deliver to anywhere.
Out of all the houses, I’d most prefer the one on St. Marks.
