Don't worry. It'll be very different. Brooklynites built it before, and they'll build it again. Just this time with a lot more money, which last time they didn't have.

You can gentrify neighborhoods that are commutable to NYC but I don't see why anyone would want to gentrify Mastic.
One day you'll just get run-over by a high-speed train. Not literally, but you'll be saying "why didn't I just listen to that NYC CD crew."

Brooklyn is centrally located to the rest NYC... you can easily go to SI, Manhattan, and Queens. In addition, LI is right there too. Brooklyn has the most trains for easy mobility. A half a mill for a home in Brooklyn is kind of standard, unless it's on a terrible block. With Brooklyn and NYC, the home is more important than the neighborhood. You can find a great home in a great location of a so called bad neighborhood and you still have access to the rest of the city. And the taxes are extremely low. Nobody could've predicted Brooklyn real estate making such a great turn around. Now NY'ers are being forced out. But be careful because what goes up must come down.
Unless you’re in Greenpoint.

And no direct route to Manhattan by subway.
