Note to self: Stop mugging relatives…
I could not agree more, 5:50.
It’s become really sick actually.
I’m seeing many people flee Bed Stuy now for smaller places in Park Slope and Ft. Greene because they were under the false impression that the area was safe.
Certainly if they read this blog, they’d think it and Bushwick were Sesame Street by the way people on here boost it.
One reason of many why blogs are just for fun.
Not for facts.
Robbery and muggings happen among friends and family? Give me a break.
When people say they’re worried about street crime, most of them aren’t talking about getting murdered. They’re talking about getting mugged, beaten up, having their cars broken into, robbed, etc. And those things generally don’t happen between friends and family — unless it’s a really weird family.
The level of denial in these threads about the reality of crime in neighborhoods like Bushwick and Bed-Stuy never ceases to amaze me.
Not period. What research shows, particularly for serious crimes, is that the victim knows the perpetrator most of the time. Crime stats in Bushwick are quite high, but a big chunk of it isn’t random–it occurs among friends and family.
tinarina: you need to look at crime stats. while you might have “felt” safe, bushwick is far from safe.
period. all one needs to do it look at crime stats.
bushwick is one of the top most crime ridden neighborhoods in brooklyn and the city.
4:49–
I live in Brownstone Brooklyn, but worked in Bushwick for over 2 years. I know the blocks and much of the housing stock.
As for crime, I never even felt frightened in Bushwick, and have absolutely no scary stories to report. Frankly, I’ve had worse experiences on my own (highly desirable) block.
Most of Bushwick is Latino and families are out, all the time, at most hours of the day. Noisy, yes, but it just ain’t scary. And there are some very fine tacos and other Latin foods to be had!
Is someone repeatedly posting that the Bushwick house is terrific and “very very” [insert positive adjective]? To me, in this market, $675K for BUSHWICK, folks, and there are only 2 pictures, I don’t know, I can’t bring myself to drink that Koolaid. And I love the “this is a great block” — the only great block? — and it ‘s right off the subway [so you can run home quickly and minimize your chances of being a victim of crime.] This blog is starting to bug me with the owners and the realtors. Nothing is real anymore.
you are so right tinarina.. people on here think anything pass Flatbush Ave is a war zone
The Bushwick house is a great choice for the right person. It’s a great block, and a very convenient location. Being near the train and Broadway, it’s also very busy, which adds a level of safety…but I find the Bushwick fear factor greatly exaggerated here on Brownstoner.
