My sister sent me a pic last weekend of Broadway closed because the hipsters had some type of flea market going on, lol. They have completely taken over!
I think they’re gonna all move to Washington Heights/Inwood too
The Williamsburg hipsters pride themselves in being Brooklynites. They will move to other parts of Brooklyn first before heading into manhattan
Brooklyn managed to build new hipster culture, the difference between the heights/Inwood to Williamsburg is too drastic of a change from housing stock to demographics.
Hipsters are already deep in Bushwick/Ridgewood and can just take the J or M
Also the A/C/G as options in bed stuy. Prospect heights by Franklin and Washington Ave is also an alternative. Area is primed for more hipsters, they have options still in Brooklyn no need to move deep in manhattan to a semi Gentrifying area
They can even afford to be in LIC or downtown BK >>> Inwood

Hamilton Heights and Washington Heights substantially gentrified in recent years due to a variety of factors. The Columbia expansion. The fact that Hells Kitchen and the Upper West Side, which used to attract people working in the arts are now too expensive. So those into theatre, film, opera, publishing, among other arts now live in Upper Manhattan.
With that said I agree that it's more likely people who move out of Williamsburg will just move to other parts of Brooklyn. Or depending on where they live in Williamsburg they can just walk over to the J, M, Z trains. The M train is adding more runs to cope with this.
Can you buy a PBR in Jersey from a bodega? If not, no Hipsters.
