Change is good as long as it is affordable . It's just a shame when alot of small businesses had to close their doors 🚪 after serving the locals for a long time. It's so hard for them to return due to high prices . But there is always room for improvements. Great tour AK

This reminds me of the port Morris section of the Bronx which is also growing quickly. A former commercial area, it's now being revamped. It has some classic ny soho buildings and shops along with the new luxury high rises that have gone up like "the arches" apartments. There are also more high rises being built and the waterfront/rail like will be revitalized for the enjoyment of the new residents.

The Amazon withdrawal from Long Island City making the housing drop pretty much in these area. Long Island City is not as Downtown Brooklyn. Some people not affordable to live in Downtown Brooklyn, they would consider move to Long Island City or Brooklyn Flatbush. Flatbush and Borough Park is close to Downtown Brooklyn and Manhattan, housing price is pretty affordable.

I would say housing prices are comparable even without the Amazon issue. It’s expensive in all the areas you mentioned.

@@ActionKid Project buildings breed crime and gang activity. It is notoriously dangerous even for the housing police that do vertical walks in the buildings. Other cities around the country are demolishing their old projects for neighborhoods with modern infrastructure and amenities. In all honesty people don't deserve to live like prisoners in those buildings.

Thier was a very nice Irish pup on Vernon you could get a great prunch for less then 15 dollars and the employess treated you like family. Thats what I miss most. I wonder what the rents are I know in Greenpoint the rents are high.
