Constructed Environments Seminar: The Walking assignment

Taking the downtown 4 train from Union Square I road 30 minutes to Crown Heights where I immediately started talking and walking with a man who was giving me directions the way he was walking.  He quickly went on rants about the neighborhoods being taken over by Jewish real estate companies that buy rebuild and rent main areas of Brooklyn neighborhoods.  Walking through I did notice the destruction of many town houses along with new buildings and current construction sites.  I was looking at the neighborhood as a possible future place to live, and felt the old and unique buildings of the neighborhood still made up a large presence in the community, coffee and food was also cheap and offered many local shops along the main street.  My pictures show the neighborhood and its character with small scale architecture.  I also show the destruction of buildings as well as building sights, and new towering structures over old townhouses.
