I was as die hard manhattanite until I moved to brooklyn (today). It's funny when people say they would NEVER consider brooklyn and you go to their 200sq ft apartment on the 10th floor of walk up with a mini fridge and hot plate. I love going home to my nicely sized apartment with a dishwasher and a garbage disposal!

You are generally getting more space for your money in Brooklyn. And as I mentioned already, rents in Brooklyn are still lower than they are in Manhattan. Two exceptions (BK Heights and Williamsburg)--which are still cheaper than most neighborhoods below 96th Street--don't mean anything.

Shhhhhh, the NY Times told me that "Brooklyn is as expensive as Manhattan nowadays".

And another thing is, yes williamsburg can be as expensive as manhattan. But you can get a really nice apartment in Williamsburg for what you pay for a crappy apartment in Manhattan. My 2 bed is only $1000 than my studio in manhattan. My brooklyn apartment would cost like $6000 in manhattan.
