I never saw a neighborhood "change" as fast as Canarsie...Why did everyone sell their houses? If no one sold and stayed maybe you would still have your precious neighborhood...people "panic" and then a neighborhood caves in. All of you flipped your houses like rats deserting a sinking ship.

Don't complain, you all ran like chickens. You are the ones that made your neighborhood "change". You let the real estate companies carve Canarsie up like a turkey. Now you look back and wish for the old days, and blame other people.

Yes, Yes indeed. Canarsie is a sad sad place now. I was there from the mid 80's to the mid 90's, some of the best years of my life. Then it started turning into a shit hole, after Reverend Al Sharpton decided to march through there after that real estate bombing incident. I was told by my Mom how Canarsie at the time I was there was like East New York when she was younger, a nice Itaian/Jewish neighborhood. I couldn't believe that East New York at one time was like Canarsie, the sad thing now is that Canarsie is like East New York. Anyway the black trash have Canarsie now and theres nothing we can do now, except keep reading how crime just keeps getting badder every year.
