i spun an artists weekend last fall out there
they have some GREAT spaces. downtown in office buildings (subletted out. some chick. she's doing what i wanted to do in bed stuy :()

but riding around w/ some of the artists afterwards they feel the end is near for affordability

i spun in an old post office that was vacant but every corner around that building there was major construction going on. mostly condos/luxury rental.

they were talking about how the largely portuguese part, which was pretty insular, is now getting chains and other things. folks sitting on property for decades now priming themselves to cash in

it won't be brooklyn (shit, if jersey city aint bk, then newark DEF won't be), but it will go the way of BK
