I always wondered why the Chinese love those stainless steel gates and fences.
maybe because they're easy to clean? they're culturally attracted to shinny, sparklingly things?
what is it? anyone?
To protect against break-ins and thieves. You see a lot of Chinese built homes are heavily fenced on every window and door with steel. A lot of these folks have cash and gold since they can't open a bank acct legally.
I could care less about Brooklyn being taken over, it is mainly inhabited by poor illegal Chinese. Go to Flushing or Bayside Queens and you'll see where the richer Chinese folks are. They are building mini skyscrapers.

that BS. Have you ever been to china....that will clue you in.
'Cause its a hand-built Victorian made of materials shipped down the Hudson 150 years ago on a sailing barge? Because its settled in its place, aching with history and soul. Because its twice as old as you are and is doing fine?
People raze down these places, then chop down mature trees, and concrete over front gardens. Then they wonder why it is the leafy tree-lined older neighborhoods where character has been maintained has houses that sell for twice as much and are twice as desirable. Simply utilitarian versus character.
New immigrants (not specifically Asian, but generally people from poorer or developing countries, incl. Russia etc) often just don't get it. By the time they do get it - its too late.
People coming from France, England etc. generally do get it, but they make up a small number of immigrants.
The houses in question in bensenhurst are not victorian houses, they're typical houses mass built. What's the problem with building over those?

the chinese part of flushing looks filthy just like that in chinatown in manhattan or brooklyn.
something is inherently wrong with these chinese habitants/business owners who care only about saving every dollar they make and not to bother with cleaning up the trash/filth generated from their bisiness. when i become the mayor, i will enforce strict clean up laws because they will never clean up volunteerly.

Flushing is large. There are some very nice parts to it that have well maintained single family homes (by Chinese). South Forest Hills also has a fast growing Chinese population, and again, still maintains an aesthetic environment.

I care little about how wel those single houses are maintained because I have no business to do there. The business streets and other common areas in downtown flushing are my concerns.

because the newer homes built in place of the old home are BY FAR, MORE UGLY !!
the newer homes they are building in the place of the older homes are absolutely horrid, and again, then the Chinese put those ugly SS doors up, and if they have neighbors attatched to them, example, like 4 doors in a row, they will all be DIFFERENT, they wont even match. Horrible, they have no taste, absolutely horrible.

thats why !
Don’t forget that most of the chinese living here are either uneducated or still struggling with poverty. Even for those so called rich chinese they were in extreme poverty some 20 years ago and have little grip or understanding of american/western culture. Expecting them to have the taste or values like yours is simply unrealistic...

Uneducated but able to afford a house in brooklyn? What do you own? Having different taste is neither a good thing nor bad thing, it's a difference thing. I hope people understand that. And unless you live there, why worry about what other people are doing to their houses? Their own house...
