The Crown Heights Revitalization Movement (CHRM) is a newly-formed community group, with a comprehensive community vision:

1) to achieve parity with other Brooklyn neighborhoods by dramatically reducing the number of residential social service beds, while at the same time; 2) advocating that appropriate social services and job creation be made available for current residents of the neighborhood; 3) revitalizing key business districts; and 4) improving neighborhood safety and infrastructure.

Through direct action, education, mobilizing efforts, and advocacy, CHRM is restoring this neighborhood so that it will be safe, thriving, and meet the many needs of everyone who lives and works here.

this is the scary part right here.

translation: lets kick out all the old time local businesses and replace them with starbucks and connecticut muffin and overpriced bistros and lets make the hood a police state.

STEUPSE

I disagree with you JAH. No....I don't think Nostrand or Kingston Avenues should be taken over by Starbucks or Connecticut Muffin, etc., but we don't need $.99 stores or nail salons on every block either. Have you seen how disgusting and dirty Nostrand Avenue (going toward Fulton) is in the mornings? Perhaps we no longer want to live in the hood. Once your grown and have kids living in the hood is no longer a badge of honor. Let's get away from that mentality. "Improving neighborhood safety and infrastructure" should be something that every neighborhood should strive for regardless of race, class and religion.

Maybe it also about supporting and sustaining local businesses or enabling small businesses to be started by community members.


Fulton is disgusting, covered in chicken bones and smelling like hot piss. No one should have to live like that.
