This could use a good revision/proofreading, it uses punctuation incorrectly, jumps around, and is difficult for me to read. Which is a shame because the article looks interesting. Maybe I'll give it another stab after a cup of coffee.

I agree, but I toughed it out and I felt that it was worth it.

It's very depressing and while I (who've lived in NYC for 14 years) have heard mention many times of East New York, and how it's a really shitty neighborhood, I had no idea that it really is the worst neighborhood in NYC.

It's really quite depressing, though the author does mention some initiatives that perhaps are a sign of a light at the end of a tunnel that's more than a hundred years long.

Yeah - I tried for about 30 seconds and gave up. "Exception: maximum parse error exceeded."

Agreed. It had so many stylistic tics - intentional or otherwise - that I found it testing my concentration. A shame, as it was quite interesting. Maybe I'll give it another go tomorrow.

Clicked, fought my way through those first two paragraphs, left.

Whose up-voting this? That's the real question.
