Unfortunately this is not a real block by block review of Fort Greene where I grew up. It is a "block by block review of Fort Green south and East of Fort Greene Park. They have completely left out the areas north of Fort Greene Park which includes Fort Greene Projects where over 100,000 people live in substandard NY Public Housing. You forgot the people in the hood....... what is up with that??????

You all misunderstood the title of the video. They did not go block by block in this neighborhood. It's a series called Block by Block. And today it focuses on Fort Greene. They cant go to each block in each neighborhood in the city.

The Brooklyn Dodgers would have had a ball park on top of the Atlantic Yards (fancy name for a railroad yard) but Robert Moses said that he had pans to use the land for something else. After several negotiations failed, the Dodgers went to LA and nothing was done with the air rights over the yards until the Barclay Center was built.

Fort Greene has some of the most beautiful Blocks in NYC. Housing is worth that and more. I enjoy walking about and see the Juxtaposition of the old and new architecture, If I could take the eateries in Upper Ditmars Astoria area I can up the value 25% to their coops / Condos sales or rentals within a summer season. I think that Ft Greene has delicious coffee houses, honestly , but that's where it ends where the gastronomia ends in my opinion.. Ft Greene lacks the white cloth restaurants (without the Manhattan prices) that you honesty deserve. The Argentinian / Italian eateries, the Indian and Greek eateries. You need a Don Coquis (City Island) and a Tequila Sunrise (Bayside) not to mention a Crabtrees (Floral Park), Cabana (Forest Hills), a Tao or a Shi (Uptown and LIC) and a Taverna Kyclades or a Trattoria L’incontro. When Fort Greene does this, it will become the Center of our New NYC!

This is my community and this is a horrible, simplistic, white-washed reflection of the beautiful community even when one factors in gentrification. I guess the New York Times wanted to do Corcoran (and other real estate sales interests) a favor with this marketing video.

I am black and much older than you. This is what the neighborhood look like pretty much in the Forties and fifties, It change only because New York State fell on hard economical times in the sixties and seventies, And let's not forget the drug epidemic of the eighties and nineties. And now is coming full circle, My suggestion is that people who been there for decades and own a home, Stop selling your property and invest in it selling your property, My parents lived in bushwick, What the house back in the sixties never sold it, Reinvest in that house in now is worth one and a 1/2 million dollars, When all they paid for it was $17000 Over 20 year mortgage

I will say you are totally right about blacks who own homes sold most of their property, but there are many who homes was stolen from them through sneaky tactics. Plus major Red lining throughout the years. Simplest way to put it a lot of BS went down amongst the land.

I lived on South Oxford and Lafayette. It was such a cool, calm, beautiful neighborhood. Spike Lee had his Joint on Dekalb, but It was a very residential and quiet place. Fort Greene Park was where one could spend an afternoon reading on one of the park benches,. It was where ppl excised. It was where sometimes movies were filmed and hip hop concerts were performed. A lot of celebrities lived in Fort Greene the time I was there. Regentification changed the vibe, the coolness, the neighborhood residential atmosphere and the quietness, 180°. Sidewalk eateries, bars, Fort Greene Park became a dog Park and a Farmer's market, super heavy traffic and ppl flooded the neighborhood to hang out to drink and party thru the night. The reason I loved Fort Greene and lived there for so long was GONE. I was so devestated so I moved to Harlem.

I am very sad to see where my childhood took place l played in Fort Greene Park My sister and l posed by the eagle and cannon in the park. Five blocks of brownstones were torn down by eminent domain. Blocks of low and high income middle class whites we're displaced. Political deals and corruption were the driving elements. Gentrification was the mantra. Believe me it wasn't " white flight " we were driven out.
@gracecheri997 5 жыл бұрын
The political deal was to "Condemn" a building to take it. It was originally a white neighborhood 30's 40's 50's 60's and African-Americans came in the 50's. We had great harmony then we were all displaced.

ppl complaining about gentrification need to get over it -- neightborhoods change, people move, thats what makes a city a city. What do you think happened to all the poor immigrant communities that lived there 100 years ago? If anything gentrification reduces crime and increases property values allowing people to profit and even retire soley off their houses. I wish I could get pushed out of a crappy neightborhood with a fat check.
