Our Crime Numbers are Now Freaky

Posted by dailyheights on Wednesday 13 July 2005 at 7:14 pm

Jose writes Daily Heights: “Via a Gothamist post, I came across the crime stats for our lovely precinct, the good ol’ reliable 7-7. While the 2004 crimes were down compared with 1993, the current numbers are freaky. There’s been a 66.6%[5] jump in rapes versus the 3 of 2004 for the last 28 days, and 75% increase in murders. Ahh, the price of cheap rent.”

Moving Soon to Brooklyn

BUDDAHPUG asks: “We are moving back to the East (thank goodness) in a month or so. I used to live in the Lower East Side (in the 80’s) and now looking for a place in Brooklyn. I saw a beautiful apt. listed near Prospect Park. I was wondering if anyone could let me know if the area is okay. Since I lived in the LES, I can deal with some funkiness, just want to feel on the safe side. The address is 890 Flatbush Ave., Patio Gardens is the name. It looks like 5 high rises,. They have 24 hr. security. Also How many minutes/stops is ParK Slope from the 1st stop in the city?

“It looks like a great area. My b-friend bikes and it looks like a perfect combo of nature and city!”
