As a new home owner of the SH section of BS when I invite my friends to my place they are taken back at the architecture. Once they walk around the corner from Fulton Street and see how beautiful the streets are and instantly talk to me about home prices and safety. I would love to see the area become gentrified with better services and people that will add to the community. I don't want to see long time residences get kicked out rather the people that don't care about the community can leave. The area dose need new life from other places so that we can learn from each other and not be a close minded community. What made Ft Green a great place is the diversity of that community, I would love to see that happen to Bedford Stuyvesant.
