Lisa you are right this is in FG. Vanderbilt is a border.
However Fort Greene used to be part of Clinton Hill Back in the days Fort Greene Park was called Washington Park. Only after it was renamed Fort Greene new neighborhood emerged

You totally didn’t understand my comment.
I am actually happy that they are here they make Brooklyn unique and great. And I was not trying to be sarcastic. I really like this neighborhood and I am happy for them to stay.
They building are quite bad I mean truly third world quality and it is not any anti-Semitic statement it is just a fact.
So please don’t overreact with your false anti anti-Semitic and watch your language

These buildings look shitty period.
Religious, traditional or whatever it does not meter.
Hasidic Yews simply are not interested in aesthetic, they don’t care, they drive minivans, have million children all wearing the same cloths and live in prison like buildings. They have other concerns and priorities and this that’s why I consider this hood to be so cool. It has a lot of charm and extremely unique character unseen anywhere else.
Can anyone explain to me bars in the windows? Is it security, protecting they “gold” from burglars or simply it protects they children from falling over it must be hard to keep eye on ten children
