Brownsville section of Brooklyn one of NYC most crime ridden areas is welcoming new developments in hope of changing the area.

"The city’s Department of Housing Preservation and Development will bring a new arts center and school run by a group from the Brooklyn Music School and a media lab run by BRIC, new retail and commercial space, and a rooftop greenhouse with locally sourced produce."

Is Brownsville really still one of NYC's most crime ridden areas? Too lazy to look up to confirm myself.

With the demand in nyc plus gentrification in other minority areas I would say 900 is a good number and Brownsville has space for even more!

Brownsville and East New York have enough room under the 3 line to create a whole new community lol

Get it? They're trying to take the Brown out of Brownsville

In my opinion, they're trying to do a Long Island City to a ghetto, only this time it's far and well, the ghetto. I'll just sit back and watch what happens.
