Grandfather bought this house in the 60's
Moms bought it from her siblings in the 90's
I bought it from her like 6 years ago

We also got land in VA..... The taxes on it cheap, and we eventually gonna go down there. But I like living in the neighborhood I grew up in.

Both the corner stores black owned now. We still have crime, but I know everybody out there and very rarely feel unsafe. It's a very familiar neighborhood. All the families that are home owners have pretty much been here forever, and still have that village mentality. My kids feel comfortable over their houses, shit be chill as fuck.

I mean it definitely has its issues... But I'm not pressed to be around a bunch of country ass white people. I like living in the city

I been out of Paterson for about 7-8 years now.

Drove through Paterson after midnight the other day and was paranoid as a mfer. Locked my doors at every light.

Either shit got way worse, or im just super soft now

It’s just a new normal faced with old normal.

If you not comfortable in your old normal then that was never your normal.
 
Been in the hood for almost two years now. I'll be damned if I stay in this shithole. I don't need my kids worrying about SWAT raids, shootouts at the liquor store, d-boys around the block, and assorted other bullshit.

The moment my pandemic relief money is released and hits my account, I'm gettin' a house in a decent part of town, paying the rent up for a year, and hiring movers, fuck packing, take shit shit as-is and throw it up on the truck and let's get the fuck on up outta here.

I was just fucking wit u
 
Certain parts of Crown Heights is the hood (especially where I live at now), so yeah. But I'm moving in a month or so to a better street, which is quite lovely. So, while I'll still technically be in Crown Heights, it's not nowhere near "hood" as where I live now.

I'll never had to sweep the street there, that's for damn sure.

That's what's up bro.

What steps have you taken towards making that happen if you dont mind me asking?

Not gonna lie, It's a pretty big responsibility but I'm sure you could handle it.. Especially if you put in the same amount of time and effort that you've put into overlooking things on the internet over the years.

Not only do you have experience from leading a Welcoming Commitee on another forum but you also got experience from being on ABWs Oversight Committee too. I mean that shit gotta count for something, right?

If you can make a difference online I'm sure you can make one offline too. All you gotta do is try really, really hard.

Let me know if you need help with anything.

What it like in the barrio? Do they really cookout in the front yard?

I liked it, all kinds of great Mexican food was a short walk away.

The duplexes I was at didn’t have front yards, just back yards but they stayed having kids birthday parties with bounce houses n shit. They would knock on my door to see if I wanted cake. Other than that they mind their business like I do, it worked just fine.
