Already has Manhattan has become too expensive for bars, some have already moved to Brooklyn (places like Chelsea are now mostly high end retail, Starbucks, bank branches, Whole Foods and Trader Joes). I think the bar owners that don't shut down will end up relocating to places like ENY. So yes you will be bar hopping in ENY ten years from now. Maybe sooner.
so are all of those properties rented as opposed to being owned?
They are not calling ENY East Brooklyn. The article is referring to east Brooklyn as the collection of neighborhoods that are indeed in eastern Brooklyn: Bed Stuy, Crown Heights, Bushwick, Brownsville, ENY.

Maybe - but I've been hearing the phrase more and more as a "neighborhood". I think it's mostly real estate agents trying to rebrand the area to gloss over the negative connotations

Do you have other references? I've not heard Eastern Brooklyn used in that manner.
What about actually trying to get jobs in the area? It makes little sense for such a massive transit junction to only have people going towards the same direction during peak commuting hours. What is the point of affordable housing when there isn't a plan for getting employment there?
There was a thread on here about it where SeventhFloor posted a photo of an older gate and large sign that appeared to be to a park area and it said East Brooklyn. From that I gathered that it's not entirely a reinvention by developers or realtors. It has somewhat of a history there. I'd search for that picture in a similar thread but I'm on my phone.
