It is stated that the New Albany neighborhood was a suburb of Albany until it was annexed by the city in the 20th century. According to the Dongan Charter this part of the city has always been a part of the city. The houses may have been built relatively recent but the land has been a part of Albany for as long as Albany has existed as a city (around 300 years). If someone disagrees please cite your legitimate source and return the information. For now I cite the Dongan Charter as reason to erase that information.

The location of New Albany seems to be hard to determine http://www.albanyny.org/Residents/Neighborhoods.aspx seems to indicate that it is south of where the New Albany Neighborhood Association has assigned jurisdiction Basically six blocks include the east half of Manning to the west half of west Lawrence between Western and Washington Aves

Someone added the following- "The Krank Park Neighborhood is home to numerous drug addicts and gang members. It is arguably the 5th most dangerous neighborhood in Albany." Whether or not it does is irrelevant. Where is the documentation? 24.182.142.254 (talk) 00:46, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

What is anyone's opinion on the recent inclusion of a non-neighborhood (the Pine Bush Preserve)? It's an important geographical area of Albany, but it is not a neighborhood, no one actually LIVES inside the preserve, there are some houses next to it, such as the Dunes and the little known African-American community off of New Karner, but no house is inside the boundaries of the preserve. I believe this sets the precendent for putting the Port of Albany-Rensselaer, universities/colleges, the Empire State Plaza, parks (the preserve basically is one big park, same state laws apply), hospitals, where is the line drawn? I at first thought even University Heights was pushing it, but i think that's where the line should be drawn, UH in/Pine Bush Preserve out. Anyone have any suggestions, comments, points of view? 24.182.142.254 (talk) 00:52, 30 December 2007 (UTC) The previous was posted by me Camelbinky (talk) 00:54, 30 December 2007 (UTC)24.182.142.254 (talk) 00:54, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Dunes was originally mislabled as the Pine bush, I added Dunes and reworded the Pinebush section, It could go as far as I am concerned, maybe a see also link at the bottom if it has an article would be good. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.70.195.208 (talk) 06:43, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
