Really, the braindead responses are just comical... People will do anything to give credit where it isn't due with hipsters... They'll even say that decent safe working class areas that are now overrun by pretentious hipsters were ghetto "minority" neighborhoods back then...
Sure. Decent areas like Alphabet City or Williamsburg or Harlem. Sure. Dream on
Thank you Guliani. Thank you Bloomberg. Thank you hipsters/yuppies, yupsters for making New York City safer and better than ever before.
Bud. The drop in crime in the city happened for many reasons one of them being gentrifications of once urban ghettos. As a matter of fact Williamsburg was still unsafe whem first waves of artists / hipsters moved into the neighborhood from Manhattan and when first hipset business "L Cafe" on Bedford Av.
It is gentrification that helped to reduce the crime by changing social break up of the neighborhood.
Thanks for the history lesson.
My girl just walked away from the computer shaking her head and smiling at how incredibly dense you are coming off. Listen close this time, because I see that you're having trouble with this. I never tried debating you about Williamsburg or the LES or Harlem. Read that again so we can end this. I only commented on two areas. You understand now? It's very simple.

Wow. Your gf walked away. Thats an argument
Those two areas you mentioned are not any different from other areas of the city that won big on gentrification. I remember Greenpoint pre-1990 as a dump with a few bad restaurants, many potholes broken sidewalk and stinking delis and it is not an area I would like to live at. Greenpoint never look better or offered more than today. Is that simple enough for you?

Well then you must be a real soft person. That is all I can say about that I guess.

Why, because I don't like stinking delis and broken sidewalks?
I have a family dude and I don't want it to live in the hood. If thats makes me soft them let be it. Again, Greenpoint is thriving and it is better and offers more than than ever before. Alll my friends with businesses in the area could not be happier. Thank you hipsters. Come again.

Kid. I spent most of my life in Greenpoint. Let it go. You don't know what you are talking about.

Kid. How do you know I am not 58 years old? Kid. How do you know I didn't spend a large part of the 80's all throughout north brooklyn? You think you know more than you do. I would let that go.

I do know based on what you posted so far. You have no clue. If you were 58 you'd know that Greenpoint never looked better, never was safer or could offer more than now. You would not miss the days when it was not the way it is today.
