Isn't it in a way already? Check out the prices of the coop apt's in the Historic area. Look at MPC properties. I think the area is pretty much gonna stay the way it is. People with cash buying in the historic area. New South American immigrants to the attached homes and cheaper apt buildings. The area right now is home to a very large gay community but it's been that way for a very long time. Families moving there like Park Slope? I don't think that's gonna happen. Not enough green space and the schools are not highly rated. Remember the yuppie/transplant parents in Park Slope, Clinton Hill, Ft Greene, and Boreum Hill do not utilize Catholic schools. They want good/great public schools. Google some of the fights in Park Slope over getting little Johnny into a certain Pre K. IMO.

Not any time soon, in fact many yuppies who moved there more than likely will leave after 1-2 yrs because the area is still too heavily dominated by hispanics. Many of them own properties that will only rent to Hispanics and the businesses around still caters to the local clientale.

Soon some yuppies will get sick and tired of being jam packed into trains full of people they have no desire to be near. I see places like Rego Park as a better location for yuppies.

Then my family members that live in Jackson Heights have been there long before you arrived. And guess what, they're older now, but when they purchased there way back when they could have been considered yuppies too.

That banned dude "Polish Mike" used to talk about invaders. Oh man he really hated hipsters LOL. Wasn't too cool tho how he called that nice female member the c-word. Claimed to be 17 years old, what a hoot.
