According to Wiki, Bed-Stuy has a population of 153,000. It is a very large geographic area. Within Bed-Stuy are some of the finest blocks in New York City, and some of the worst blocks in New York City. Some sections are safe, and some sections aren't.
Before you just bash the entire neighborhood, can you comment on this particular Bed-Stuy block?
According to the NYC crime map there were a handful of grand larcenies, about the same number of burglaries and robberies, and a couple of rapes. This all in just Q1 2014. All within a very short radius of that specific location (maybe a block at most). Expand five blocks or so and the stats can get pretty scary (if the stated isn't enough on its own).
I grew up in bushwick projects on Flushing Ave and Bushwick in the 80s/90's. What nonsense are you spewing.
That's Williamsburg not Bushwick proper you dummy.
