I guess the facts of life are that people who said they lived in Cypress Hills as I once did wouldn't say they lived in East New York mainly because of the association with East NY being a bad neighborhood by some people's standards by the late 60's early 70's.
I lived for a few months in 73 on Schenck near Jamaica Ave and had no problems but that was mostly private homes there.
My imaginary border was Crescent St...that Cypress Hills ran from there to the border, north of Atlantic. But it was still the East NY voting didtrict when I lived there and in the 75th police precinct.
