I live in Clinton Hill (Clinton Hill Chill represent!)
it's "safer" here, you probably won't get shot if you keep your mouth shut and be a good boy. Prospect Heights, Fort Greene, and Clinton Hill are becoming whiteified, i mean gentrified, so the natives are slightly restless, but everyone has been cool to me and the wife in the last 4 yrs here. Fuck Williamsburg and Bushwick is cool if you don't own anything like a computer, car, watch, hat, shoes, coat, tv, cat etc.- you wont get shot in brooklyn... that's ridiculous. unless you're a drug dealer.free_
- well that's not true, but i agree it's pretty safe.scenek
- k, stabbed only.radphotographer
- "you probably won't get shot if you keep your mouth shut and be a good boy. "?? you got to be fucking kidding me!lvl_13
- if you mean stabbed by a busted fixed gear sprocket, or shot by hipster with a llomo camera!lvl_13
- a few kids got shot (while inside their house) last summer, a guy got shot at the deli around the corner a few months agoscenek
- no shit, this isn't williamsburg, there are no fixed gears or hipsters.radphotographer
- okay, but clinton hill is a pretty fucking nice area! there are much worse.lvl_13
- *coming from the guy who only visits there a few times a year.
lvl_13 - LMAO @lvl_13 — yeh, too many fucken hipsters.nRIK
- Wow, even the cats aren't safe?

Don't move to Bedstuy/Bushwick, you guys are causing Gentrification, creating higher rents and fucking it all up. Why not just move to Williamsburg or Greenpoint.
- You guys, as in not natives, but mostly hipsters.marchelo
- Are you guys black or white?radphotographer
- One person does not cause Gentrification. Big business does.rson
- you're right rson, like the fucken Duane Reades on Marcy Ave and Home Depots, IKEAs... shiiit.nRIK
- No, a bunch of rich kids moving to where real familys live causes gentrification.marchelo

No vermin (btw you can call 311 or nyc.gov to report rats).
Lots of garbage though mainly b/c the place isn't totally gentrified yet. When ppl are making minimum wage the last thing they care about is strewn paper on sidewalks.
They'll send paid cleaners to clean up daily when 1 more Donut / Cupcake shop opens up w/in a block of my apt though.
I feel safe here. Although there are attacks on LGBT community (and I get it; people are being pushed out)

If you're going to move to Bushwick area, Ridgewood is better.

exacty. lefferts gardens = flatbush. prospect heights sometimes = crown heights. i'd recommend a realtor for rent-stabalized places but if youre just looking for a room to rent you can get most any neighborhood without dealing with much of the bullshit.

What happens when all of NYC is gentrified - where do the real people go then?
- freedom0
Bushwick is a place where people spend way too much money to live in a sketchy building on a dirty street with neighbors that don't speak English (and probably pay nothing in rent) and they have no place to walk to. They might get a nice loft space, but it most likely comes dirty.
- I agree w/ you on some parts being filthy. Mostly because of bad sanitation plans.bklyndroobeki
