weird question (parents: why do you like Park Slope?)

Subject: kids ok parents ok bums no

I've lived here since I was a kid and I moved to manhattan and moved back to PS after blaring horns in union square. I don't have kids and they don't annoy me. Frankly the kids here are refreshingly well spoken and well behaved as opposed to ruffians on the subway. But the bums..seriously, there should be a law that prevents them from standing at subway entrances asking for dough when I'm trying to get to work. (I'm THIS close to going get a job buddy..seriously) Oh and PS 321, I went there for a year. It's not all that it's hyped up to me. It's a little cultish. I went to B-Carroll after. Worked out well - I'm not a bratty kid. Just the self sufficient young professional who's pissed off by the bum blocking the subway entrance.

Why would anyone care about what the NY times says?
At this point you can do your own research on the web and not rely on the opinion of one NY Times writer.
