Brooklyn is currently enjoying essentially it's lowest crime rate in almost 50 years.
And is still only safer than 37 percent of all the cities in the US. The lower third. Meaning that 63% of America is safer than Brooklyn. It also doesn't mean much when the crime rate in Brooklyn is twice the rate of the rest of New York State. Also, according to the NYPD as of March of this year, murders in NYC have risen 20%. Last I checked, Brooklyn is one of the five boroughs that make up New York City. Therefore, all of this comes under the leadership of a Democratic Mayor.
My point is that the crime rate notwithstanding, Brooklyn is one of the most sought-after places to live in the entire world.
Condos in Brooklyn sell for 8 figures.
