Jeremy:

I grew up in Bushwick and still be around there since I own a few houses. But if you live in a Bed Stuy Brownsone, you can’t compare it to living in a Bushwick house. There’s nothing like Brownstone living and you can ask your friend that. Most blocks in Stuyvesant Heights are beautiful (Decatur, Macdonough, Macon, Bainbridge, Hanckock, Jefferson), they are all tree lined Brownsone Blocks that have caring owners. I’m by far not shitting on Bushwick, but I don’t see no houses going for that price in Bushwick. Only a Brownstone with details can demand that price in a decent neighborhood. Ask your friend to make a trade with me, we probably have similar mortgages and I have 3 houses on the Montrose Stop L train. Lets make a deal………………………

The old divide and conquer. This rivalry stuff is a bit childish, but I did like Petra’s response.

Well what’s great about Ridgewood is that it is “ahead” of both Bushwick and Bed-Stuy simply because it never got bad in the 70’s and 80’s. Ridgewood remained relatively strong right through the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s. Sure there was a time when there was a hint in that era that it could “go either way”, but all through it, Ridgewood never fell. Bushwick and Bed-Stuy both had fallen….big time. In Ridgewood, there’s nothing to “recover from”.

But that all being said, both Bushwick and Bed-Stuy have both come a long way, and both appear to finally have a bright future.

We’re all humbled by the plain fact that Ridgewood, despite a mild transportation problem, is pretty fabulous.

I think both neighborhoods in discussion are total shit compared to Ridgewood, where you can get rice&beans, polish stuffed cabbage, AND a “bosnia burger” cooked by a mexican. All within short walking distance. In addition we have our own dirty book store, and a once-glorious crumbling seedy cut-rate movie theater.

Seriously though, KREDENS polish restaurant on Fresh Pond Road makes some mean pork!

he is a nice guy, but there is no way he will get in the 8’s for this, not one of the more distinguished pieces on decatur,mid-upper 700s perhaps hard to finance those 3 families..
