East Side of Washington Heights will gentrify before East Harlem does
Housing stock sucks in East Harlem, you either have those Chinatown type tenements or NYCHA which can’t be touched anyway
The goal is to utilize all those bridges over the Harlem River to join the two neighborhoods, then light rail will come next
While the light rail is coming, then you will see development in Highbridge and Morris Heights, it’s gonna be a sight to see…it eventually will look like lower Westchester along the Hudson north of Yonkers
"Chinatown style tenements" stopped neither Chinatown or the LES from gentrifying. Bushwick and Ridgewood are mostly walkup New Law tenements (though, they max out at 4 stories).

Chinatown still looks hideous for an area that is gentrifying. I still rarely see China town listings in luxury real estate ads like Douglas elliman and corcoran.
Nothing beats how hideous brighton beach is. Even east New York looks prettier
Nycha should demolish all high rise and make them low rises and utilize those large green spaces to put extra low rise buildings. Poor people and tall buildings is often a disaster waiting to happen.
Destroy Carey Gardens houses in Coney Island please.

I think that has more to do ****ty awnings, filth, and lack of trees.
138th street have officially enter gentrifying stage it now 2005-2009 Brooklyn.
. Nah. By 2005, Williansburg had seen 15 years of colonization by poor artists & gays attracted to cheap rent one stop from the LES. Park Slope even longer.There was a big scene there, bars, restaurants catering to the transplants, etc. SoBro lacks this completely. There's no organic bohemian scene there at all, despite the best efforts of folks like Mayora Carter to astroturf one. The whole thing is top down, developers trying to force it and skip the long gestation period which makes a neighborhood attractive to the bohemian youth.
