The landlord is still allowing crazy acting families to move into the community which makes all the normal families uncomfortable regardless if it's a return on an investment.
Not at all. You didn't read the article. It was about a Hasidic landlord evicting poor Black families and replacing them with wealthier whites.
It's true Bedstuy and Bushwick are going through demographic changes and brownstones there cost millions now.
Unless the neighborhood is far from the central city, landlords are pretty picky on who they rent out to. Your credit has to be good, you need to demonstrate proof of income and assets (bank accounts, investments, etc). Not true of just Manhattan, but true of big parts of Brooklyn and Queens. This is even becoming true of parts of the Bronx (you have to prove stability to get an apartment).
Brooklyn is far from wild, its just now every single act of nonsense is being recorded and shared online. If we had smartphones back in the 80's when Brooklyn was very wild you would see far worse than high school fights in Mikey D's on a regular basis.

Have to agree to a certain point. Back in the Dinkins days the city was crazy. Remember"don't dis your sis". Feral youth were stripping girls in the city swimming pools. Giuliani did a great job cleaning that up. As well as the city.
But many people are saying the Dinkins days are coming back. Homicides are up and there is a feeling of lawlessness.

Well I know that Brooklyn is usually compared to Philly but I can't say those two cities are similar at all.

Both Philly and Brooklyn have improved in recent times but overall Brooklyn is much safer than Philly. The level of poverty in cities like Philly and B-More are more entrenched thus equating to more street violence

Homicides were down in 2014 though, I'm not sure about this year

The people saying that are old people who got priced out of the city and are never coming back. So yeah they have to justify their move by claiming the Dinkins days are back. Enjoy that nursing home in Florida.

The crowd in there didn't look too gentrified. Flatbush has quite aways to go. And yes a random guy trying to break up a ghetto brawl will not end well. He should have called the POLICE. He could have slipped away and called 911.
This is why people don't get involved in fights between ghetto hoodlums. You put yourself in danger.
Respectable people don't eat at McDonalds
