Not sure who is "hyping a housing development". There are two condo associations, Parkchester South and Parkchester North. There is no "housing development" if by that you mean a subsidized housing project. I am concerned about residual crime in Parkchester area (not generally the condo complex, but mostly just west of the condo complex, the area where most police blog reports come from), which is hardly "hyping" it. I know what people similar to me tend to like and look for, so am giving out a very realistic information about Parkchester for that kind of people (I have actually received private messages from a few people asking more about it).

You guys seem to be unaware of anything between being ghetto and being a billionaire (which actually is the type of ignorance that one encounters in a ghetto: a belief that you can be either on welfare or very rich, and anybody who is very rich has acquired the $ by some dishonest means, so crime is the only gainful occupation that exists). Are you guys all from ghetto, considering that you appear to hold this kind of belief?

Incidentally, there is a website where academic people rent out their homes when they go for sabbatical (usually one year), and there is one 2-bdrm Parkchester unit listed on that website, so somebody else of my kind obviously thinks the same way as I do about Parkchester :-).

A joke stops being a joke when it is repeated over and over again - most people tend to learn that around the age of 3 to 4 (there are indeed adults who repeat unfunny jokes forever, which is either a symptom of damage to frontal lobes of the brain, or associated with subnormal intelligence). So, your "humor" is either a sign of stupidity, or not intended to be humorous at all, but deliberately hostile - actually, I suspect it is the combination of both.

You just don't get it. How many bleeping pages do we need of you talking about Parkchester, crime, crime, crime? You say that Parkchester is only two the North and South Condominium, but I'm not so sure. How in the hell do you write so many posts about them?? You would think this neighborhood is like half the size of the Bronx.

How am I forcing you (or anyone else) to read my posts about Parkchester? By the way, I started only one Parkchester thread ever (on the subject of Parkchester being a good option for certain people priced out of Manhattan); all the other threads where I participated were started by other people, and I just chimed in the discussion. The threads were started by different people, who presumably would not know my other posts, so I repeated the same thing several times - so what, why is that your problem? And how am I "hyping" Parkchester by adding the concern of crime (based strictly on police reports, not on any imagination or prejudice) to various things that I personally like about Parkchester?

Okay, one more thing that apparently needs repeating: the two Parkchester Condo associations comprise about 2/3 to 3/4 of the area commonly known as Parkchester. The rest are co-op buildings and I think also some smaller houses (I don't really know because I don't have a reason to go outside the condo complex; when I am there, I only go to Manhattan, by public transportation. The whole reason I got a condo there is that it's near Manhattan - or near enough for retiree's purposes). There are no subsidized housing projects in the area called Parkchester, never have been - that I know with certainty.

It should be obvious many posters are indeed low income.

"Low income" and "ghetto" are two different things. Nursing aides and housecleaners are paid a low income, but gangsta rappers don't typically rap about nursing aides or housecleaners when they address "ghetto".

Elmrgby, lighten up, dude. It’s just an internet message board. Again if you are this tightly wound and sensitive about someone you don’t know poking fun at a neighborhood in the Bronx you need to step away from the computer.

Don't call me ignorant. It's against the CD terms and conditions and I'll report you to the moderator.

I didn't call you anything, I don't know who you are, and have no interest in you. I myself was actually thinking of reporting the moderator of this forum to the upper management of the forum, for obvious reasons. Believing that the world is divided strictly into the welfare poor and the billionaires, that these are the only two kinds of people who exist, IS ignorance, no matter who holds that belief.

And I have no interest in Parkchester, or any more of your posts on the subject, which are all, each and every one, EXACTLY THE SAME DAMN THING OVER AND OVER AND OVER. Along with insinuating that everyone on this board other than yourself is ignorant, you're now ascribing beliefs to us.

As for reporting our moderator, that's a laugh, because he's come to your defense, and encouraged others to respect your mad ranting and raving.
