Top Issue in Brownsville: Fear of the Teens, Fear for the Teens

[Spatial Paradox]

Brownsville is pretty run down. Like 80s 90s just filfthy

East New York looks an atom bomb went off though.

America has a lot of serious social issues that need to be remedied.

Word? I don't fukk with Brooklyn at all, all the BK kids I went to college with were all on some middle class Theo Huxtable finding their "blackness" tip

Can't speak on Brownsville, but the comment about East New York is exaggerated (this is coming from someone who lives in ENY). Not to make it sound better than it is or to deny the issues plaguing the neighborhood, but it's a hell of a lot better off and better looking than it was 15-20 years ago.

E.N.Y and Brownsville are always going to be bad because of the enormous amount of drug activity, prostitution, and unemployment. I think the stop and frisk policy is good in these areas.

Considering the ridiculously low number of arrests resulting from stops, I'd say all this does is piss everyone off in these neighborhoods and makes them less likely to trust the police.

I think this line from the article nails it for me:

"It's not like we have dead people all over the ground," she adds. That's what outsiders miss, differences of degree.

The US needs to do more for it's citizens to solve the underlying social issues.
Everything is broken.

Can't help people who don't want to be helped

I'm not white...

What society is witnessing is a culture in decline, with no real solution garnered around fixing the situation. Even if a utopic paradigm where to be transitioned in the place, ultimately, abuse from within the system would sends things back to square one.

The underlying factor revolves around the notion of it being, infallible to help individuals whom don't want to be helped.

Maybe I have a different view on it because I live pretty far from both Sutter and Pitkin. In any case, I've been to other parts of the city that look no better. There's some good examples of urban decay and its results out here, but I don't think they're exceptional compared to what you can see in similar neighborhoods in other parts of the city.

"There's nothing here for them to do," Martin continues. She has three children and the youngest, who is 21, still lives with her. "I used to have to call him upstairs [from outside]. Now all he does is just go in and out. Most of his friends have been into drugs or gangs." He doesn't want anything to do with them, she says. Her son's been robbed of his jewelry.

Now that I'm on my grown man shyt livin in the suburbs the thing that surprises me the most is seeing all the activities these kids do. It's soccer practice, recitals, fencing, tennis and schoolwork. From the time they wake up to when they going to sleep they doing shyt. At the end of the day I always felt youth in the hood need 3 things: Activitiy centers to do stuff and local employment that pays well. The third thing is the most difficult, and that is parents involved in they kids life. Checking homework, discipline...all those things mean something. It's cliche but idle time is the devils playground.
