When I more frequently started posting here in 2013, some posters wanted to deny that there was even gentrification in Bedstuy. Now these same people are SILENT............
I don't think the gentrification train can still push further east anymore. I have recently visited Eastern Bedstuy and its still very hood with. Bedstuy near Clinton Hill/Fort Green has been receiving plenty of spill over in recent years and that's where the gentrification comes from. Hell I remember posting up and article about how Re prices in Bedstuy has topped out and investors are bowing out of market because they really cant make an investment return out of it, especially when flipping.

No, you were basically talking like it was completely gentrified already. Its not. It was just starting to. Either way, I hope it becomes more like Fort Greene.
This stat is made up of many small projects though. Would be nice to see bigger developments. For example, the runner up is Bushwick, but when looking at actual livable units, my guess Bushwick has more due to the large size of their construction projects.

That's amazing. Bed Stuy's pending gentrification was apparent to me even when my family left the neighborhood for Prospect Heights in 1999. Bed Stuy will always have a special place in my heart, but its affordability (and the affordability of most of Brooklyn) will be an issue for me going forward. Its not so much that I don't expect to earn enough to afford these parts of Brooklyn once I'm firmly established in my career, but rather that there will be other parts of the country where I can do more with my money.
They want all whiteys in Bed-stuy and all blacks out. That's what gentrification means, modern-day Jim Crow.
