My mom lived over there for a while. You next to the Mosque?

Yeah, the projects are right there, but in the 90's I lived 2 blocks from some pretty big projects in Chelsea and it was no big deal (did the same on LES in the 90's as well). Lotsa nice places in NYC a stone's throw from housing projects. I think Tuffy109 (remember him?) lived on E 100th for awhile--East Harlem is still not nice in a lot of places, but it's not what it was.

We're on the mosque's land (building has a ground lease with the mosque). Fortunately we'll be high up and facing away from the mosque, so we won't hear the call to prayer. And I figure with President Trump they'll all be somewhere else, anyway.

Lower Westchester is where it's at.

I lived on 93rd Btn park and lex for 10 years. My brother had the apt before me and sis in law lives there now. Awesome hood for young families and great if you want to stay.

And yes, you are right on foreigners driving up prices in the high end. But they are hiding money, not washing it. Pooty poot can take your place on the black Sean but not the one in the finger 57th...

Shame Kinsale is gone- that was my local...

And that is why prices up and down the HV have gone through the roof. All those city folks.
