Maybe because the area next to cypress hills called Woodhaven is mostly white itself? Overlapping?
Woodhaven hasn't been mostly white for over 10 years now, sure there's still pockets here and there but the brooklyn border is mostly hispanic and the richmond hill side is mostly south asians and west indian.
Once ENY is settled Woodhaven will be the new Ridgewood in a couple of years. Suddenly they'll be like "what is this "Forest Park" you speak of?? I've heard native tales of the J train reaching the land beyond the Brookland territories"
there goes the neighborhood.......or is it? 1/2 of east new york is the neimiah townhouses that were built to fill in vacant lots and I think a good portion of locals own those buildings......and im not sure if architechture loving hipsters would find those rowhouses interesting......new lots ave is relatively fair game but theres alot of cheap townhouses (to infill vacant lots) that hipsters might not think are architecturally appealing......the east and southern edges of the neighborhood may have some abandoned warehouses that hipsters love but theyre far from the the train and the rest of the housing is project buildings....
gentrification in some form will hit but I dont think itll be a swift conquest like williamsburg,fort greene and 1/2 of bed stuy was....heck I expect the rest of bed stuy and bushwick (the still hood mostly non white sides) to fully gentrify first before east new york becomes the new "nabe".....
1/2 is the nehimiah townhouses? thats only a few blocks on the south end, what about the blocks and blocks of rowhouses, victorians and woodframes in Cityline and Cypress Hills. The same style of rowhouses can be found in Prospect lefferts Gardens, Crown Heights and Windsor Terrace going for $1mil.

I wouldn't panic too much. The train rides are long, the architecture is nondescript, and the powers that be seem to be keen to keep the area a lower working class area. Nothing wrong with that.

Hipsters already get off at Broadway Junction whats one or two more stops, it's not like the LIRR. When you can't afford your current neighborhood most people just move further down the train line which for Bed-stuy and Bushwick is ENY, we'll probably even see people coming from Crown Heights (no one wants Brownsville). Rental prices have been going up in the last couple of years from all those displaced from those neighborhoods who do you think move in after them, since the city can't regulate the tons of free market rentals already in the area theres nothing they can do to keep the area lower working class short of letting it go back to a warzone crime/dilapidation wise.
Seems they want to keep the Bronx for the working class/poor until they tap out BK, they've been building tons of whole affordable housing buildings in the last couple of years and have huge proposals for the waterfront areas.

Most hipsters at Broadway Junctions are just transferring between trains to go between Bushwick, Bed-Stuy, or in my case, Ridgewood. They aren't actually physically leaving the station to walk home. But eventually they will be. Broadway Junction has a lot of potential with some good planning.
white people should just keep it on the low in the ghetto like they used to do, instead of coming in droves like a plague and driving up the price of real estate.

There could be a "cool white people only" clause. Must be comfortable slipping the occasional Ebonics dialect into your language (not ironically), and own at least one fitted New Era cap that gets worn backwards.
