		<description>Whtpower,

I think your rantings are more appropriate for a blog site that caters to the backwoods of the Deep South. I bet it is your wish to travel back in time to 1955 Alabama and personally arrest Rosa Parks. In addition to being white, a Bushwick native (lived here my whole life), I am also a law student. I respect the First Amendment as if it were Gospel,so I cannot be that upset you would engage in such a dumb tirade. On the other hand, it warms me to know that stupid people such as yourself still abound and are just asking to be taken advantage of.Since you appear to have a childlike command of the English language, I would suggest you go to the library (on your way to the beer distributor of course for the 24 pack you drink no doubt everyday in a wifebeater)and maybe, just maybe peruse some of the rhetoric Hitler made prior to the start of WWII.

To All others, alas white trash still lives here. Unfortunately, we don&#039;t have any space to create  trailer parks for them. I apologize for this racist on behalf of the good people of Bushwick who are decent, hardworking and willing to help a neighbor..</description>

		<description>Monkeys and apes arent eduicated enough to clean up their own shit, so i reccomend calling out all those littering jiggaboos the second they cross you.  They seem to think the new white people moving in are some weak megar people, but i think those nigs have a lot to learn.

Bushwick used to be a white german neighborhood, its time to take back our streets and cut these spooks loose.

Bushwick is a perfect example of how &quot;good&quot; blacks can do for themselfs in society, and frankly it speaks volumes of truth.</description>

		<description>be careful with the bottle on your room. that can lead to all kinds of partying up there, and people falling off roofs drunk and all.  

it&#039;s a shame people don&#039;t pick up after their dog around here, and the police do nothing about it.</description>

		<description>Jimmy, I&#039;ve always wondered about that. Our neighbors don&#039;t have direct backyard access either. Whats up with that? Why even have a backyard? Our direct neighbors have what could be a nice, open yard. Instead it&#039;s a patch of 4 foot weeds. Looks extremely silly next to our fenced in oasis of grass, flowers and pathways.

Further down there is the occasional backyard babypool party but I assume they are climbing out a window to get there since they are rarely in the back.

Oh, and a random aside.

We discovered that someone threw a beer bottle on our roof last week. Hah! From the street or the building beside us I don&#039;t know. I&#039;m assuming it was a random act of douchebaggery.</description>

		<description>Mary, i&#039;ve experienced similar results with our yard. since we started making an effort to keep it cleaned up/landscaped, the neighboring yards have also cleaned up. two yards over is growing grass now, 3 yards over somebody keeps tilling up the soil like they&#039;re getting ready for something major. the yard adjacent to ours got cleaned up initially but sadly there&#039;s a mullberry tree that has totally dumped all over their property. i don&#039;t blame em tho, you pretty much just have to wait for its shedding season to end. 

on the other side of our yard, however, they haven&#039;t cleaned up anything. but I realized the tenants in that building don&#039;t have access to the yard, which i think sucks all around.</description>

		<description>when we moved in to our place on Knickerbocker, the backyard was a dump that nobody used, they just threw their shit out the window into the yard. 

we have lived here since November 06, I have done so much work in the yard- landscaping, planting and weeding multiple days a week. it took me yelling up at people a couple of times throwing shit out their windows, but it has stopped. 

Its breaking this habit that people have had for a LONG time. they know its wrong when confronted and stop doing it, but it takes calling people out.

(Not that I would call people out on the street!) 

the yard next door is still a nasty dump, so everyone still throws their trash there, but ours is nice now. the rats stay out and we have a few cats that love to hang out in the yard. Its beautiful and many of our neighbors have told us how much they love to look out on it.</description>

		<description>I grew up in a brownstone on Bushwick Avenue and my family still owns there.  If someone sees you drop your garbage someone is going to say something.  It isn&#039;t perfect but it is definetly alot cleaner then what you are experiencing.  Start shaming people and they will eventually stop.  It will take a while because there are generations of littering assholes, but it can stop if people start addressing it.</description>

		<description>Do more trees on the street really make a difference? I haven&#039;t been down alot of Bushwick&#039;s tree-lined streets, so I don&#039;t know. I do know that Bushwick Ave&#039;s brownstone area isn&#039;t very trashy. That might leave me to believe that the nicer an area is built, the nicer the residents treat it.</description>

		<description>i disagree that trash is everywhere.  there are other neighborhoods where people care about their sidewalks, and blocks.  here guys are pissing on the streets like it&#039;s nothing. 

no cops around to change that, they walk past and don&#039;t care.  

i think the garbage cans would help, and also more trees on a block would make it seem nice.

anyone know what the consequences are if you put litter down those drains on the corner of the block.  is that what they are made for, for the water to slide the garbage down there.  i looked down in some and the garbage is piling up.</description>

		<description>Jeremy,
I know you are fed up. But please dont judge an entire neighborhood or group of people by the actions of a few.There are lots of people who take pride in their homes and themselves. In every community, whether Howard Beach, Bensonhurts , etc. you have rotten apples.</description>
