Used to work in East Ny. I never saw so many druggies and beggars in my life. And this was the good section on Jamaica Ave by the Jackie Robinson during the day time. Felt like a third world country walking the street.
If we listed Brooklyn's most crime ridden/poverty stricken neighborhoods ENY would be #2 and Brownsville would be #1.
"East New York has been to hell — and it doesn't want to go back" was a headline used to describe it. That sums it up for me.
+1
That's why the city made sure to rezone ENY first because they knew it could gentrify harmoniously, and spill over to ENY. Brownsville has a high concentration of projects, so that's a area they can't touch for a while, until more money pours in from the feds to wash it out. That will only happen when ENY gentrifys.

ENY is depressing as f***
