"In the old days the common complaint was having been mugged on the (LL)."

Bull. Why would you say such a thing? Obvious you never were in the area much. I was all around north Brooklyn in the `70's and 80's and a lot of the `90's. The overwhelming majority of the people I knew and knew of never got mugged. Not only that, local folk just thought it normal to go about their business along Broadway, Graham Avenue, Grand Street, whatever. Perfectly fine environments to go shopping and eating out and enjoying yourself. Screw what "newcomers" have to say about it. In a way, I'm kinda sorry to see this "population changeover" going on. I've seen what happened to many Brooklyn neighborhoods when they grow "upscale". Don't make the place friendlier I can tell you that.
