Clinton Hill! We hadn't considered that neighborhood yet. It's a bit transitional for old folks like us who may have trouble outruning assailants with our walkers. Though where there is inexpensive real estate to be had, safety be damned! Oddly enough they do build LUXURY condos in dicey areas thinking it will accelerate gentrification. That's usually why you want to buy a parking space in your building so you can drive to and from your luxury oasis in comfort, with your ipod turned way up to cover the sound of shootings and screams ;)
This is a new technique adopted in the real estate boom of the last few years, rather than going the slower but more reliable route of letting all the young artists and gays move in first and then have them over time gradually force out the local tough youths with their insistent white techno music and $3.50 lattes. I haven't ever spent time there (Clinton Hill) but it would be good to throw it into the mix.
