| Message: | I’ve been really intrigued with this place driven down the past 10 years
have seen changes for the better including Saratoga Ave and Eastern
Parkway, Saratoga and Atlantic ave allot of new housing but I was down
there this past weekend drove down and saw some great urban decay and
blight, one of the worst street in the city is Van Sinderen right along
the LIRR track under the ELevated L line. Very much a throwback to what
NYC looked like in the 1980’s with garbage graffiti broken sidewalk and
street downed fenced. Pretty tough place to be at midnight.
Another spot that really shocked me was Livonia ave and New Lots where
the train ends, pretty sketchy at night under the tracks you have allot of
graffiti boarded up buildings pretty tough looking.
Livonia itself many vacant lots surprised with all the construction there
over the past 10 years they did not put anythin up on this street don’t
know if it’s a zoning thing but noneteless ENY I think is one of the
worst spots in NYC and not many people head out there. The South Bronx got
the notoriety Harlem the blight but ENY got it all.
