on one hand i like that they are still keeping it an affordable place to shop, except with chains, but an apple store would be way better there and there's the space for it. i can't imagine it costing more than williamsburg per SF and even if it did, the foot traffic you get between the surrounding neighborhoods, all the train stops that are there, and being close to NYU poly and other schools

seems like a no brainer

but lots of white people who dont live in brooklyn think brooklyn is only williamsburg, carroll gardens/cobble hill, and bk heights
