Unfortunately, not everyone in NY (or anywhere else in the US, I guess) agrees with Anon 5:53. I am continually amazed at the noise, filth, crowding, public drunkenness, and generally obnoxious behaviour exhibited by the hordes of affluent, usually white, young adults who descend on the Lower East Side (where I also live) on any given night, but particularly Thurs – Sun, about which the forces of order do absolutely nothing. As I’ve often remarked, let even half as many young black adults make half as much a scene anywhere and you’d have the cops out in riot gear in 10 minutes. The contrast between the LES at night and PLG at any time of the day or night is truly amazing and a blessed relief.
“You forget that some of us read this blog regularly and are reading it even when we\’re not posting.”
Very true. Which is why no one believes you. Go away now…Shoo, shoo.
Absolutely true, 5:53. In fact, rude, crude and noisy describes a lot of teens all over the world.
It is possible for black teenagers to hang out with their friends, even on street corners, as this is a city, and not be in any way connected to crime, and/or shootings. They may be rude, crude and noisy, but that doesn’t make them criminals.
“young folks fellowshipping on a street corner”
LOL! That’s an interesting way to describe a drive by shooting.
I’m not commenting on any particular neighborhood but this is one hell of a hillarious euphemism:
“young folks fellowshipping on a street corner”
The Jefferson block for the Bed Stuy house is a nice one. It’s on the corner of stuyvesant. It seems really pricey considering repairs will probably be more like $400,000 not $250,000 like corcoran says.
Bob, you are indeed a saint! You and your wife raised a child, let him run abound your PLG neighborhood, and he lived! According to 5:04, that’s a miracle. You must be in good with the Almighty.
5:04, your comments are beyond absurd, and win my Snort of Absolute Ridiculousness. Congratulations.
I’ve been looking all over Brooklyn for awhile now, and Lefferts Manor is one of the better options if you want to spend under a million. As 4:51 said, there are problems and bad spots. Personally, I wouldn’t live too close to Flatbush or Rogers, since I don’t want to have to see or hear the loiterers or the traffic from my house, and because there is drug-dealing at many of those corners and I wouldn’t want to be too close to it. But once you’re away from those corners, it really is pleasant and safe. I have friends in the area and they certainly have plenty of complaints and concerns, but dangerous crime isn’t one of them. As I said earlier, I think the Lincoln road house is a decent deal if you can get it for around 800K.
