Brooklyn has become The ‘2nd Manhattan, with these outrageous rents. Folks,save your money and rent a house,with the option to buy it.
While some of you struggle to make the rent and ends meet,the landlords and property owners are getting richer.
Absolutely ridiculous these rents. I blame the greed and graft of the real estate builders, the community boards and local and state govt. Brooklyn has become further segregated and it’s shameful.
