[quote=Anonymous]As a Brooklyn native born here and have lived here for 43 years i wouldn't leave. I currently live in Bath Beach and like any neighborhood it will have its pro's and cons.

Pro's walkabilty is great, you can either bike, walk or take mass transit anywhere.
Almost every neighborhood is multicultural and if you have kids they will have friends from every religion and be more accepting of cultural differences.
Between restaurants, delis or fast food there on every block.

Cons if you plan to rent depending on the neighborhood a 2-3 bedroom will cost $2000-$3000. A 2 bedroom 1000sq foot condo just sold down the block from me for $700,000 parking was an additional $10k so its very expensive and more expensive as you get closer to park slope or brooklyn heights.
Parking is horrendous especially with 2 car household.

No matter what brooklyn isn't the quite suburbs and you will find some litter strwen about but its brooklyn and for me there's more to love about it even with the occasional graffiti or homeless person. My kids have learned to have compassion for those that have less then them and without living here and seeing it they would have never really experienced and learned Street smarts.[/quote]
