Talk:East New York, Brooklyn
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Please someone provide some evidence (newspaper article, etc.) of the serious and horriffic crimes alleged to have occurred in this obviously desperate neighborhood.
- There is no evidence. Those crimes didn't occur there. The user who added that paragraph, User:24.94.232.164, also put the exact same paragraph (with street names changed) in the article about Milwaukee, Wisconsin. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Milwaukee%2C_Wisconsin&diff=prev&oldid=17835338

Please clarify:
- What you mean by "dramatic turnaround." The description of the neighborhood as given is still very bleak; is it somehow better than it used to be? Worse? How? It's not explained.
- What does "prior to 15 years ago" mean? Do you mean "in the last 15 years"? "Prior to" means "before." If the turnaround occurred more than 15 years ago, just say when it occurred.

I also don't understand "dramatic turnaround", seems like a misnomer to me. I was born there and my parents moved us out in 1964.
- The decline in crime-while perceptible-is not as dramatic as some people would like to portray.
- The neighborhood is still home to the most crime-ridden, deadliest police precinct in the city, and several weeks after the New York Times' Metro section ran a flattering portrait about the neighborhood-portraying it as the next Park Slope, Williamsburg, Red Hook, etc., in other words, a hub for potential gentrification-nearly a dozen people were murdered over the course of one weekend.

[edit] Home Owner
East New York did make a major turn around, this article had to reflect the actions during the 1970"s and the early 1980"s .If you check the crime stats at the 75th prescient, you will see the crime rate has changed substantially. I purchased my home at 389k and the present homes located on Loring Avenue behind the Hip center sold at 759K. Cobble Hill Condo's are going up on Linden Blvd. I see a different light on this neighborhood, a big difference from what the article reflects .If anyone is going to type any information concerning Demographics at least do your homework and stay current with facts. I must clarify what I mean by a major (turnaround) is referring to the late 60's, 70’s and early 80's as compared to the present, just in case I was a little vague. For the family that moved from East New York in the 60's ,they could not be in touch with the present picture because no one would purchase a home in a crime ridden neighborhood for 759k as mentioned earlier.
[edit] Import Export
When and how were the new unfair import-export rates imposed? Did they have a role in the decline of manufacturing? It needs a specific link for the specific law or time, rather than a generic one for international trade. Jim.henderson 21:34, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Southeast Brooklyn
Flatbush Avenue goes to southeastern Brooklyn. Gerritson Beach and maybe even Canarsie are in southeastern Brooklyn. But East New York and City Line are in eastern Brooklyn, not southeastern. Jim.henderson 04:58, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Gardeners Association
I didn't put in the now deleted plug, and agree that it didn't belong as being too much an advertisement. I do think there ought to a link to an advertising site for the association, and have inserted one, hoping someone else can replace it with a better one. Jim.henderson 21:34, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
