As Manhattanites fled the claustrophobic island they called home, massive renovations and sky-high property values came with them to the outer edges of Brooklyn. Of course, Williamsburg is the most notable site for this kind of gentrification (hello, Urban Outfitters concept store), but areas like Bushwick, Clinton Hill, and Crown Heights are quickly following suit.

I'm not really interested in people's complaints when you let the street you live on grow to shite so much that its needs to be razed and started anew.



This. Don't shite all over your own neighborhood. Racism doesn't make you tag your neighborhood with spray paint. Stupidity does.

This isn't what happened. The investment in Brooklyn started 20 years ago and includes a pretty diverse group. Most of the new residents in Brooklyn are from outside of NYC altogether I would guess.

I'm confused? Was that a minority hood that is now a different hood?
