WTF? People already do shop in Downtown Brooklyn, and plenty. Unless minorities don't count as people to this moron...

There is no urban decay. Fulton street is pretty busy with lots of shoppers, LOTS of shoppers. Sure there are a little too many sneaker shops and cheesy establishments that I wouldn't mind getting rid of. But why get rid of ALL sneaker establishments? Especially if people actually do shop there. This is what annoys me.
