I also live right near there and I agree that the area has a lot going for it. There is substance to the claims that it is a dangerous neighborhood, though. I would even go so far as to describe it as ‘very dangerous’; but that simply means that it would take the right sort of person to jump on this deal. I am single, expect to remain single and have no desire for children. That’s one of the reasons this neighborhood works for me. If I had kids I’d have to move, but for me, in my present circumstances, this area is just fine.
I live on that block and it’s fantastic – perhaps a step below Prospect Heights in terms of being “prime” for Manhattanites, but that block is miles ahead of Bed-Stuy and Crown Heights on so many levels. $850K on that block for someone starting or raising a family seems unbeatable to me.
P.s. – I think Jerry is the troll.
While I got a certain thrill from being “trolled” it quickly wore off and now I’m just disgusted. How much fun can it really be to play such childish games?
To try to get back on-topic, I have to say that I agree that a group of white teens hanging out, drinking, and making noise is deemed just a nuisance while black teens doing the same thing is seen as somehow criminal. Nonetheless, I personally wouldn’t want to live within earshot of either group, and I do understand why some people don’t want to live near places where that takes place on a regular basis. Call it “fellowshipping” if you want, but it is still noisy and can be uncomfortable to walk through.
Now I’m going to bed. If there are any more posts with my name later on, they’re not me!

shame on you! why don’t you stop the insults and pick on someone your SIZE! Leave PLG–especially LM, alone!!!!!
Oh,Pleeeeese!
“FYI- CHP and I are NOT the same person”
I can attest to that–both CHP and Bx 2 Bklyn came to the opening of my photography show at K-Dog a couple of months ago–definately two different people 🙂
Aleta- how is it you, Carlo and the troll get the same out of place backslashes in your posts and no one else does? Hmmmm….I wonder. (You need to better your typing skills or your keyboard).
Oh- and welcome to the Sybil Club. We’re adding you to the growing list.
FYI- CHP and I are NOT the same person.
Very true Babs. Says something about our perceptions in this country. And I have to say that while I have never been offered a seat by a white teenager, I have on several occasions, while carrying a lot of heavy bags, been offered my seat by Black ones. (And I’m white).
The relief being, of course, when I get home to PLG, and is a reason I spend less and less time on the LES.
