Ridgewood,NY

A town in South Western Queens,but a small portion runs into Brooklyn. Ridgewood is generally a safe neighborhood,though areas on the Bushwick border and industrial areas on the western side best are avoided at night,or when alone. The 104th Precinct(including most of Ridgewood,plus Glendale,Middle Village and Maspeth) reported:

-0 Murders(2 in 2003)
-18 Rapes(9 in 2003)
-197 Robberies(281 in 2003)
-118 Felonious Assaults(108 in 2003)
-450 Burglaries(461 in 2003)

I love to be in Ridgewood,NY.It so hood for a town in Queens.

Projects

Usually a group of dirty buildings made for really poor/homeless people to live in. Projects are dangerous,very dirty,filled with gangsters,drug dealers,pimps,hookers and such. The first set of projects made(Starret City,made in 1963) where made for Blacks to live in,but over the years people of all races started to live in projects.

New York's worst set of projects is in Brooklyn, called Starret City. New Orleans's worst is the Caliope Projects. Californias is the Pork & Beans Projects.

Bedford Stuyvesant

Mainly a Black Community, Bedford Stuyvesant, or Bed-Stuy is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Brooklyn. Today, Bedford Stuyvesant is a real bad neighborhood to be and to live in. Mayor Michael Bloomberg of 2005, declared Bed-Stuy the most dangerous, dirty, and highest crime rate neighborhood out of Brooklyn. Over the last year, Bedford Stuyvesant has gotten a little bit better and very few parts a little cleaner. Bed-Stuy is also bordered by Canarsie, East New York, New Lots and is not to far from the Brooklyn Border.

Everyday, I take the L-Train to Bedford Stuyvesant to get to my school.
