Neighborhood Watch

Can we organize a Neighborhood Watch? It seems to have been effective for other transitional neighborhoods in the past. Neighborhood Watch allows concerned residents to involve themselves in watching out for each other without having to depend solely on police. Any thoughts on this?
Also, I agree traffic is a big problem. I have been living in PH for 8 years, and I think it is worse than I've ever seen it. Pedestrians and bike riders are fair game around this area. I hate to think how much worse Flatbush and Vanderbilt would be if the arena gets built...

    watch your colors and watch your slang
    watch how your fingers twist and change
    protect your own, protect your home
    respect the hustle and set the tone

    I have no idea, but I was thinking we would just buy some guns and drive around looking for criminals.

    You can start with anyone yelling his head off in the street at 3am. Fire at will.
