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

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

Live in a real neighborhood with families and supermarkets and you'll be much happier.

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

I lived in Bushwick for seven years, pretty much agree with people's opinions in this thread. If you're lucky got get a great space with 15ft ceilings for a reasonable price close enough to the trains with friendly neighbors.
If you're not so lucky you get a shitty, rat infested hole with a gang member and his crew as your neighbor. I was lucky to live in the first category but had friends who was less lucky.
Now live in Carroll Gardens which is pretty much the opposite of Bushwick, Still miss the open fire hydrants and sidewalk BBQ in the summer.
