This piece was obviously created by an utterly clueless gentrifying douchenozzle, I could write a book on how wrong they got this. Red Hook Resident 1982-2006 Red Hook R.I.P.

cont'd... The waterfront is not shit and the majority of the Red Hook Housing residents are good people, as if there aren't drugs and crime everywhere, as for the asshole who stated that we do not deserve such a view, what the f*%K makes you think you do.

These gentrifying douche nozzle / johnny come lately's move into a neighborhood from Podunk Idaho and attempt to rewrite it's history.

"Neighborhood can go in many many different directions" = "nothing really happening out here." The girl who left SoHo because "everyone was so aloof" really left because she couldn't afford her lease.

What? What is this guy talking about? This is far from historic? Go to Red Hook Alumni on facebook if you want historic. We could tell you about the projects, Clinton St., Court St., The back (Van Brunt, Richards St. Pioneer Street.)

van brunt st......1982-1995....I spent alot of time on coffee st. with my friends. we were a few of the very few italian kids in the neighborhood. we would hang out all day and night, wanting nothing more than each other and that one cool thing to talk about the next day. Our lives were so simple but so amazing. It would be great to find someone I know from there, so if you think you know me, take a guess

.... a better community and I know that will take time. I never understood what yuppies saw in Red Hook but then again they are only in the borderline (harbor). Being raised Red Hook has not only made me a survivor but fighter and believer that change comes from ME. I hope and believe that my Red Hook people learn that they can do the same too ;)

I was born and raised in Red Hook, Brooklyn.. the tall projects in front of Coffey Park (1987-2007). It was a really f***** difficult childhood and I couldn't STAND the negativity, drugs, gangs, poverty, and poor education. I'm sorry to burst your bubble but most of the people who were in the video weren't even from the heart of what is REALLY Red Hook. Since moving out I heard it's actually improving and changing which is awesome. Hopefully this neighborhood really gets together and becomes....
