They will have to come up with a new name first.

They'll also have to figure out how to relocate it so it doesn't take forever to get to.

Half of those places are already popular places to live.

I got a bang out of a hot new neighborhood on SELLING NEW YORK (HGTV) called SOHAR. Talk about silly. I guess NOHAR and MIDHAR cannot be far behind.

And I guess ESOHAR must be differntiated from WESOHAR.

They're sort of the last places within reasonable distance to Manhattan, beautiful architecture that will attract investment and refurbishment and proximity to other areas on the upswing. Some of them, like the Financial District and West Chelsea/Midtown West have already happened or are at saturation already.

Bushwick may be somewhat close to Manhattan, but it doesn't have a lot beautiful architecture aside from the few blocks.

This was supposedly a selling point for why the neighborhood took off... Had nothing to do with being labeled "up and coming", "gritty" or close to manhattan...

What I'm confused at is the Bushwick I know has always been one of the ugliest areas in the city... Doesn't have any of that appealing architecture or apartment buildings that areas like Harlem, Clinton Hill, Fort Greene, Bed-stuy, Red Hook do...I've already posted pics on previous threads about what most of Bushwick still looks like to this day aside from some hideous new luxury rentals or condominiums popping up on completely random blocks...

But hey, whatever floats people's boat... It only adds further proof to my statement about insincerity...
