Or maybe I'm looking in the wrong places..

Try looking at Livonia Avenue or Van Sinderen Street and you see some run down areas. Linden Boulevard is mostly a mixed of Housing Projects and industrial, but the housing projects are what makes it a bad area.

The violent crime rate in East New York is lower than it is in Harlem. I also know a lot of good people from around there who are very dedicated to their community. You guys have to stop being such fear mongers.

Would you guys say that East NY compares to (what) neighborhoods in the South Bronx, Bedstuy or Brownsville? I'm askin for opinions!

ENY is basically Brownsville without the projects but Brownsville is the worst neighborhood in the city.

If I had a choice between those two neighborhoods, I would easily go with ENY. ENY is a lot bigger and you have greater chance of finding a decent block, whereas Brownsville is just gutter almost everywhere.

Yeah, I meant to ask for your opinions on if ENY or Brownsville were worse then the South Bronx (what neighborhoods in the SBX) and Bedstuy (Brooklyn).
