My theory is they got rid of the limited b46 in favor of the select bus shyt in order to get more people from Williamsburg to go to kings plaza.


And lol at people thinking canarsie isn't hood

The B46 SBS doesn't go the Williamsburg, it got cut back to Dekalb Ave in Bed Stuy when they changed it to SBS.


The local still goes to Williamsburg, but that's at LEAST an hour and a half trip.


I live in Canarsie and its NOT hood, its very safe here and its a nice area. I assume you're talking about those Projects on Flatlands Ave? Those projects might be hood but the side blocks with the houses and such is very quiet.

Last thing I would say is it's a nice area especially around where the old movie theater used to be. Plus most of the houses are ugly. Maybe my youth is clouding my judgment, but I wouldn't move out there.

Yeah exactly, it's obvious brehs have not ventured in Canarsie much . Yeah the projects on the outskirts going into Brownsville, and East Flatbush are hood

I miss living in BK. I miss seeing a bunch of black folks daily. I loved living in South BK , especially being able to ride my bike to Riis Beach. If I want to go to the beach now, it's at least a 30-45min drive. But I don't miss that BK traffic and the subway rides. My fiancee had a spot in Park Slope, so we had the best of both worlds in BK. We bought a place in Riverdale, but a few months after we moved I got a new job and a pretty big bump in pay, and she got a promotion. We could probably afford a pretty nice 2 bedroom spot t buy in park slope now. But it's much easier to drive into Westchester for shyt and not worry about parking.

Great thread. I grew up in crown heights in the 80/90s. Right around the corner from Utica ave. . Dollar cabs to kings plaza, shopping in downtown Brooklyn, basketball at wingate park ,Labor Day parade and shorties every where. Once you go past Utica on eastern parkway tho. Brownsville eny and bushwick

 

[Sonny Bonds]

Canarsie and ENY?
nikkas ain't tryna get shot

Williamsburg, greenpoint, dumbo, fort Greene, and cobble hill tho

Greenpoint sucks. There's nothing here and there's hardly any good places to eat.

I wish I could afford to live in any of those other neighborhoods.

Oh how is it? I heard it's a nice middle class neighborhood. What's the rent like?

 

[QU Hectic]

I'm loving this thread

It's nice and quite but not the place for a single person. It's very residential. We bought. I do think rent is cheaper than most of the city because it's in the outskirts though.

Fort Greene was semi affordable before the white people really flooded the area. They look at me like I'm not supposed to be on DeKalb when I walk past the park. Little did they know, black people owned all the brownstones smh.

Literally ran from one side of Brooklyn to the other side today
