“”If Bed Stuy, the most notorious ghetto in the United States, is not even ripe for higher density development, where do these people go?””
Most notorious ghetto in the US?
Guess you’ve never been to North Philly, East LA, all of Detroit, Cabrini Greens. Hell, its not even the most notorious ghetto in NYC, or even Brooklyn!
You guys are such pussies.
richest ghetto in the world…. 1 million for a house… I grew up in a super ghetto
“If Bed Stuy, the most notorious ghetto in the United States, is not even ripe for higher density development, where do these people go?”
What bullsh##t.
It’s not bad for a share for some 20-something wanting to live in “the city”, but it is far out of reach of the working men and women of Bed-Stuy. You have to make $60,000+ a year to afford one of these apartments.
So what are we saying is that civil servants, after years of loyal service, can only hope to afford a 2-bedroom apartment in BED STUY? Are we trying to insure that the middle class never can afford a home of sufficient size to raise a family?
Where, or where in this city can a developer actually build something that meets the needs of the people? If Bed Stuy, the most notorious ghetto in the United States, is not even ripe for higher density development, where do these people go?
What!!! these are nice – I thought there was no affordable housing in Brooklyn

A song parody about Bed Stuy.
Love that one of the ads says: This is a Clinton Hill Replacement
looks like $1500 is the avg for a 2 bedroom in ok condition. Not bad for a share
these are nice.
