I'm lucky I live in Bedstuy

Since I moved to Brooklyn 3 weeks ago I've been going around different places and it's digusting how gentrified certain parts are, like Flatbush and the Prospect Park area - the latter I could count on one hand how many black people I saw Don't get me started on Williamsburg. Felt uncomfortable my whole time there

Meanwhile Bedstuy is still black as hell but at the same time not as dangerous as the old days I live right off Fulton street, which is always lit with dope music bumping all over. Couldn't imagine living in one of them cac-ified areas though

What neighborhoods in Brooklyn are still majority black? Brooklyn lost 88,000/10% of their black residents in the 2010s, more than any other borough, and every other group besides whites exploded (but BK still lost twice as many of us as they did whites)...

Which neighborhoods are still majority black?

Brownsville, East NY, Carnasie, Flatbush, Bedstuy

Got transferred at my job and Bedstuy was one of the few places without outrageous rent

good shyt. you can get a lot more for your money in the stuy, i see a lot of nice condos popping up that's cheaper than elsewhere. the only thing for me is that bedstuy is not central. most places are far away from the subway and not too many parks. But it did get a lot of new bars and restaurants though.
