Question about real estate

My estimate is $1,500 to $1,800 for a market rate apartment. Rent-stablized, rent-controlled, if you can find one, a lot cheaper.

I recently was over at Schenectady and St. Johns Place and noticed that the NYPD had placed a portable command center there. I wonder if this is response to the recent wave of murders in the area. Also note below:

An unidentified 44-year-old black woman was found stabbed to death early Friday on Lincoln Place and Albany Avenue in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, according to a police report and a brief in the Post's NYPD Blotter.

The woman had been stabbed in the neck and was taken to Kings County Hospital where she was pronounced dead on arrival. The Post reported that the police were questioning the woman's landlord with whom she had argued in the past. Reportedly, she had an order of protection out against him.

I wonder if CrownQueen has been attending any of the recent 77th Precinct council meetings or Community Board 8 meetings. She might be better able to get $1,900 in rent for her apartment if she wasn't trying to rent in the middle of a high crime zone.

It's remarkable to me how people just aren't involved in their communities. Here's a woman expecting to good a very aggressive rent but does she have any idea what's going on in her n'hood?

A group of us have reached out to local developers in the Crown Heights area who are investing millions of dollars in new buildings along Bedford Avenue and Rogers Avenu. None of them were aware that the Dept of Homeless Services is about to make the Bedford Atlantic armory the only intake center for homeless men in NYC, shutting down the 30th Street intake center in Manhattan where almost two-thirds of the homeless are. If that happens, their million dollar investments will be worth a lot less.

LOL. While they're busy shaving pennies off their costs, pinching suppliers and contractors to save a few dollars, their entire investment is being undermined by the City and they have no clue it's even happening.

Get your heads out of the sand, or pay the price!
