does it take a marketing machine to make tree lined streets of brownstones and limestone mansions, so close to lower Manhattan (and to such cultural draws as BMA and BAM) desirable?
I would say the low property values in those parts of Brooklyn in earlier eras (the dates vary by neighborhood) were artificial.
Never understood the "hipster" label as I see nothing hip or cool about hipsters. For the most part they look disheveled. They all look as if they sleep on a couch in someones apt and rarely bath. What's cool about that? I have nothing against them as they seem to go about thier own business and dont bother anyone. I just dont understand how they became labeled as "hip" and "cool".

it be like that. successful people move in clusters.
that will never change, so there will be a lot more
of these trends going on for years to come and a lot
more financial pain for struggling people as well.
get ready and plan your strategy. don't think it is a
joke.
it beckons slavery for the most of us but freedom
for the few "elite".
The Brooklyn is hisper scene is well alive and going strong for years to come.
Williamsburg is mecca for hipsters, but since it's already too crowded and pricey, people will start searching for new nabes.
Bushwick and Bed-stuy are progressively changing, more Brooklyn neighborhoods are to come in the near future.
Maybe even some in other Boros. I'm thinking next up -after Brooklyn is done with- we will be seeing this happening in Queens.
LIC has seen some influx, but nothing close to the levels of Brooklyn.
I say, give it time, and many more neighborhoods will change. Especially those close to Brooklyn and Manhattan.
