Yeah, that's just 1 block across the street from Marcy Houses. I'm pretty sure there isn't an entire Jewish section of Bed-Stuy, like how Kingston Avenue in Crown Heights is.
As prices have risen in Williamsburg Jews have had to look beyond Flushing Avenue going over a few blocks to Myrtle for "affordable" housing.
Problem is real estate prices are rising in Bed-Stuy as gentrification pushes down from Clinton Hill and up from Williamsburg. That and as noted there aren't many suitable places for the Orthodox to take over.

As prices have risen? A huge chunk of them live in NYCHA to begin with in Williamsburg. Price makes no difference when it comes to them. When you see them buying brownstones in Bed-Stuy and living in them, let me know.

The Italians and Polish are mainly the ones that have been pushed out of Williamsburg. South Williamsburg remains as Hasidic as ever. Price is irrelevant to their living situation.
The Hasids own most of the homes in South Williamsburg, so rising prices won't displace them, right?
Puerto Ricans too, but not as much. The ethnic white neighborhoods always have far more displacement than black and Hispanic neighborhoods, they just won't get close to as much NYT media coverage, so I can see why people tend to only think minorities are effected.
Which will be better than many other areas. Face it. The 15 minute commute is increasingly only for the rich.
True. A lot of poor people have been displaced to bad parts of Westchester, NJ, or in extreme cases Western Pennsylvania. A 15 minute commute is if you're rich or if you live in a Manhattan or Wester Brooklyn/Western Queens NYCHA or Mitchell Lama.
True about the ethnic differences of Blacks here. You might add NYC has many Black Hispanics as well. Chicago doesn't have as much going for it economically, and that maybe a factor in why it could not break what you call the white-black paradigm. This seemed to similarly be true of other midwestern cities.
Los Angeles's Black population is heavily from the South, and it isn't nearly as segregated as Chicago either.
It is true of Midwestern cities. Ohio and Michigan are the same way.

Eaat Harlem and Mott Haven are a pretty quick commute
This article says that NYC does not have the high crime rate that Chicago because NYC is a lot less segregated, and that unlike Chicago NYC has very few places that are 100% of one race.
I wonder if NYPD just does not register lot of crimes? I can't imagine with all these homeless folks and gangs out there and much bigger population NYC can have so much lower crime rate. May be better gun control laws make difference.
And NYC also is pretty segregated too, white folks mostly live in Manhattan, some parts of Brooklyn, but Bronx, Harlem is almost all black.
