interesting. i always thought hipsters strongly preferred a "dual-purpose" "nabe" meaning one where they can live and drink and fornicate. i guess that's triple-purpose, altho drinking and screwing go hand in hand. anyway i assume you mean sunset park. i bolded the part where you said "quick shot" .. i was under the impression the N crawls when it's between boroughs (i.e., under water). i guess not.

Well the tunnels always suck, that's for sure, but I'm talking about actual stops. The N (and I forgot the D), from 36th is a relatively quick right into Manhattan.

Mill Basin is going down hill?

Tell that to the poor people that are priced out of other neighborhoods that move there.

And there you have it folks...

For the record basic common sense even for the brain dead would suggest that if poor people can't afford neighborhoods like Bed-stuy or Bushwick for example, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be able to afford areas like Mill Basin either... Point being, the poor aren't move to these areas, just the middle class folk whose color happens to be a little darker...

Are you actually talking about Flatlands in general? Or just Mill Basin itself? Because I'm sure Mill Basin and Bergen Beach are still more expensive then areas like Bushwick or Crown Heights.

That's why I said Mill Basin is not going down hill as fast as other neighborhoods. But look at the census block. The poverty is getting closer into these places.
