I survived East NY projects. We last lived at Brownsville before my sister died. I remember the first day we move into the project apartment a guy was shot in the elevator right before we entered it with our furniture. Crazy memories yet Brownsville was about surviving and family. Loyalty and respect. We lived in East NY - Pitkin, Atlantic Ave, and Mother Gaston. Glad to see that previous rivals are now communicating. Anyone that survive living at any of the East NY Projects can make it in any city / hood. After being in the streets of East NY, Bedsty, Crown Heights, and Flatbush I give God thanks for taking me out of the street. After my sister died, I decided to go to college...then I joined the Air Force and that was the best decision I made that changed my life. Respect and thanks for this video.

[@futuristicbrooklyn1207]

To put this in perspective, Brownsville has the lowest average lifespan of any neighborhood in New York, and the highest infant mortality rate in the city. There are 18 different housing projects in the neighborhood (the most densely concentrated area of public housing in the U.S.). 30% of its residents are high school graduates and only 8% of the population holds a bachelors degree. 28% of the population lives in poverty. I have always been shocked of the conditions of the neighborhood, but its improved a lot from even 10 years ago, but 2020 changed that along with the rest of the city.

Born and raised in Park Slope, Brooklyn, NY. My neighborhood wasn't dangerous like Brownsville, but I was never allowed to go to Brownsville, Bed Stuy or East NY as a kid and I think that's a testament to what the guy in this video is saying. These are very much "If you not from here, don't come here" type of places. I have family in Brownsville and it seems to have changed a bit since the '90s, but I think Brownsville and South Bronx competes for the most volatile places in NYC for Millenials.

@@jomo7002 yup, people that grew up having everythimg given to them, with all the opportunity in the world whining about how they're being bullied, hudged or discriminated and often it's their choices and decisions that put them in those positions. I'm not saying that those are not real struggles, they are and everyone goes through that in their lifetime. Growing up in a low income household is something no kid should go through. All the ba that brings, settling for lesser, seeing you parents stress, the feeling of guilt, feeling you have to do something to help as a kid and the anger it causes. My dad has been working all his life, never had much to show for it. He instilled a work ethic into me, I've been working shitty jobs since 14 and you kinda develop this sence of low self worth. Now I'm finally financially stable and I'm thankful to my dad, but it hurts to say that his way wasn't the best one.
