Perhaps I should clear a few things up in regards to my comment… As thirty year resident of Ditmas Park I have seen many changes some good some not so good. I agreed with Old Timer that the neighborhood was a bit nicer, people were a bit friendlier and we basically knew the business owners on Cortelyou Road etc. This has always been a neighborhood of mostly hard working individuals from various backgrounds. As far as trust funds that’s really not my concern if you are lucky enough to have a trust fund in these tough times WOO HOO, my issues are … there are some individuals moving to Ditmas Park from various states and other areas of Brooklyn who need to stop judge others in the neighborhood based on their ethnic background, to the woman who lives on my block that insists on walking her dog without a leash I don’t think it cute or funny when your dog jumps at me or others, to the individuals who refuse to pick up after their dogs that’s just not very neighborly. I think we should learn to respect each other as human beings. I am all for positive changes in Ditmas park!

JG,

I’m so busy working hard for the money, I see I misspelled my name above.

What, Dirmas Snark, you mean you actually earned your money? Old Fart will never believe it!

I’m new to the neighborhood, and trust me, I don’t have a trust fund. Nor do I have a dog, so don’t go blaming the dog poop on me.

While of course it is absurd to ever suggest that any neighborhood has “arrived” as that can be seen as implying that it was “nowhere” before, I do wonder why people such as Old Fart and Seven think that the younger, presumably white, residents have trust funds? How does Old Fart know so much about their finances? I don’t assume Old Fart lives on social security so why does he assume people have trust funds?

I have to agree with OLD TIMER, also please note there is a pooper scooper law in NYC which simply means… CLEAN UP AFTER YOUR DAMM DOG!!!

I was better in the neighborhood before all these trust fund kids arrived. Their strollers cost more than my car.

Phil, I’m pretty sure it’s called “tongue in cheek.”

Does anyone not understand the absurdity of the original post. “Arrived?” As if no one ever lived in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn before. Get over yourselves . . .
