They have map that acknowledges the reality that their clients are not interested in moving to Brownsville. How dare they.
That doesn't surprise me. It's east of Brooklyn's color line, and all those neighborhoods have significant African-American populations, and hipsters and yuppies wouldn't be interested in moving there.
... Evaluating a property based on commute time doesn't make you a racist.
@Bensonhurster--I respectfully beg to differ. It is precisely that alteriority [the kind that stretches back to when "discoverers" landed on the eastern shores of the New Americas and lumped in the heterogenous "tribes" and societies into one lumpen mass of "wilderness"] Real Estate interpolates transients that are only now known as "hipsters" and "yuppies."
