1. Deblasio....supporter of Sandinistas, of Fidel Castro, arguably the most Leftwing mayor New York City has ever had the misfortune to elect. And, no surprise, our mayor lives in the most Leftwing venue in Brooklyn: Park Slope.
NYC will be crime-free: just you wait!!!!
a. "....Park Slope is both haunt and hatchery of New YorkÂ’s smuggest limousine-liberal yuppies.... fussbudgets, whiny parents, taverns crawling with toddlers, hip watering holes edging out old-man bars. ItÂ’s everything New Yorkers love to hate about Park Slope." http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/18/fashion/18slope.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0
2. "The neighborhood is politically liberal, and some of its faith institutions reflect that bent. Two stand out for their activism.
• One is a leading Reform Jewish congregation, Congregation Beth Elohim. It was, for instance, a recognized hub of relief food collection for months after 2012's devastating Hurricane Sandy.
• Another is Old First Reformed Church, on 7th Avenue, known for its involvement in progressive issues, interesting musical performances, and cross-denominaotional collaboration on social issues projects.
• Park Slope remains a poliically organized area, in the sense that people tend to vote regularly, and participate in various levels of national, state and local politics. In the Obama elections, it was one of the areas that regularly produced volunteers for phone banking and out of state canvassing. It was also one of a handful of neighborhoods engaged in the early stages ofparticipatory budgeting for a slice of NY City Council budget funds."

3. Got the idea? Couldn't be more Liberal/Progressive.....we call 'em 'slopey's.' And, it's a pejorative.
But....Liberals/Progressives.....they represent what the world should be: work together, care for each other, love, love, love. Park Slope....it proves how wrong those retrograde, nasty, conservatives are about people. People good!!
a. . Park Slope Food Coop
"Love it, hate it. One of the neighborhood's landmark institutions is the Park Slope Food Coop, the nation's largest member-owned cooperative supermarket, which specializes in fresh, locally sourced and environmentally sustainable products and has a membership of about 18,000. Occasionally controversial, the PSFC has supported the expansion of the food coop model to such other Brooklyn neighborhoods as Fort Greene and Bay Ridge."

b. "People can complain about the Co-op all they want, but it really is an amazing place. Some gripe about the fact that it's members only and call it elitism. I would disagree with that. It isn't about elitism, it's about being sensible. It gets crowded enough with only members shopping, it would be impossible to navigate if it were open to everyone. Plus I feel that being required to work a shift makes you more invested in it and creates more of a feeling of community. Which I love. Most of the people I have encountered at the Co-op have been lovely. There will always be a few rotten apples in the bunch, but I feel like the good far outweighs the bad. It's all a matter of perspective." Park Slope Food Coop - Park Slope - Brooklyn, NY
4. OH, NOOOOOZZZZZZ!!!
"....the Park Slope Food Co-op reports that thefts are on the rise in their members-only supermarket. ... The Co-op’s manager, Joe Holtz, describes watching one customer on the supermarket’s security cameras sorting their items—some went to a basket to be paid for, and some went to a bag not to be paid for. ....
Mr. Holtz revised his figures this week, raising the estimated total loss from $700 every day to $1200. Which adds up to a whopping $438,000 per year in stolen goods. And, Mr. Holtz told The New York Times, because they’re members, the thieves “are actually stealing from themselves.”

5. What????? Liberals stealing??? And from their own Liberal emporium...in the heart of Liberal Park Slope???
"HAS SLOPE FOOD CO-OP'S LEFTY ETHOS LED TO CRIME? The muckraking piece quoted unnamed members as saying that those who appear to be outsiders (which some read to mean poor blacks) are not being carded at the door because the co-op’s members (which some read to mean privileged whites) are afraid of looking racist, resulting in purse-nabbings. One anonymous member was quoted as saying that the organization had dropped its bag-search policy after being accused of racial profiling and now might as well wear “a big rob us sign” on its back."
