Carroll Gardens parents are in a huff about youthful neighborhood ruffians, who are disrespectul to adults and unmindful of younger children as they engage in shenanigans and otherwise behave like hooligans.
> I guess where should they go to engage in shenanigans? They're teens right?
> And who (demographics) was occupying the neighborhood before Smith street bloomed. Is there cultural/lifestyle (?) tension with the new younger families?
> Is there insufficient city planning for children and teenagers to play that leads them to act in such an aggressive manner? Recreational center?

Every one of those parents secretly wishes the Gowanus Houses would go market rate (so those baby mamas can get lost and their single friends can move in) and that those hood rats from East New York would stop commuting to their local schools and stick to their own neighborhoods.
Screw political correctness and bleeding heart liberalism. Stand up for your selves and get those politicos to shut down Section 8 and get more cops & school buildings to corral obnoxious teens & tweens.
