[UncleTomFord15]

Flatbush was always a weird area to me, its like a weird combination of a good and bad area.

Anyway video takes me back to my youth

Yeah man, you could have huge Victorian housee on one block and crips on the next. Or even the same block

A few months ago I saw 10-15 people jumping on one man on that exact street. At like 1 AM

were you in a blood or cuz neighborhood?

The world was a different place before 9/11

Everybody was outside even at night

you saying 9/11 turned it into a police state?

I think technology plays a big part. In 2000 a lot of people had neither cell phones or computers, fast forward 8 years and those things are ubiquitous.

how my block used to look


damn gentrification

What hood?

What hood?

South Central

Blame technology. People don’t do outside activities no more like back in the day.

Back in the day everything fun was outside.

But I’ll say this. In the Bronx and Harlem people still be outside heavy. Brooklyn not really unless you in Brownsville.

what about in queens

 

[Cave Savage]

what about in queens

Queens doesn't have many neighborhoods that are both : black, and super dense like Flatbush

I do see people outside in Southeast Queens but nothing like the video I posted. If anyone knows of exceptions, let me know

To be fair, I think both those videos are from block parties. Might not be like that on a regular day.

You're right. Not a single car went by in 18 minutes

 

[Cave Savage]

Anyone else love those old buildings in Flatbush? They're so nice looking

It was the murder rates of the late 80s, early 90s that did that.

People like Giuliani campaigned on violent crime and "quality" of life" enforcement and won because of it.

If you look at how the nypd implemented operation IMPACT and the "broken windows" approach then it all starts to make sense.
