NYC Most Dangerous Neighborhoods? : Walking Brownsville & East New York, Brooklyn via Sutter Avenue

I walk on Sutter Avenue through the NYC neighborhoods of Brownsville & East New York to Conduit Boulevard. I also got caught in a rain storm in the middle of my walk. From Wikipedia: “Brownsville is a residential neighborhood located in eastern Brooklyn in New York City. The ( km2) area that comprises Brownsville has 58,300 residents as of the 2010 United States Census. The neighborhood’s boundaries are unclear, but it is generally bordered by Crown Heights to the northwest; Bushwick and Cypress Hills to the north; New Lots to the east; Canarsie to the south; and East Flatbush to the west. Founded in its current incarnation in 1858, initially a settlement composed of Jewish factory workers, Brownsville underwent a major demographic change in the 1950s that saw an influx of African-American and Latino residents. Since then, it has consistently held one of the highest poverty and crime rates of any neighborhood in New York City.“
