I see that someone else noticed the story on Dodworth in the nytimes-- crack and all kinds of depressing madness. Here's the link. It is very worth reading, even if entirely disturbing:

what a neighborhood.

I think it is sad too. But don't let it freak you out any more than you already might be. I mean it makes sense. Crack cocaine makes people rob and do crazy ass things. And, ultimately, this is our neighborhood. I am not going to feel alienated or outraged over it. Let us work to make our neighborhood better as many people are doing now ... My friend lives in Fort Greene in a nice building in a happening neighborhood, and he's got a bad crack spot right down the block ... it just doesn't make the human interest columns of the Times Magazine. Welcome to NYC.

I work in Fort Greene. And it's amazing, you see one trendy street, one dumpy one. I work late sometimes and I see "shady" transactions in the corner bodega on my way out. My children (I'm a teacher) tell me horrible drug and shooting-related stories.
So it happens everywhere.
