The crime and blight of the 1970s did not reach into every neighborhood of the city. My family lived in the Kensington area of Brooklyn in the 1970s and our neighborhood was untouched by the chaos. The Jewish and Italian areas of southern Brooklyn remained safe. Law abiding people don't destroy their own neighborhoods. Flatbush and East Flatbush deteriorated in the early 1970s and by 1974 were dangerous areas.
