And this week, the NYTimes takes notice that there are still tiny corners of Brooklyn that aren't filled with yuppies yet:
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/09/nyregion/as-brooklyn-gentrifies-some-neighborhoods-are-being-left-behind.html
You know, like only about 85% of the borough remains ungentrified.

The article makes it sound like it's all either Park Slope or Brownsville too. There are like GIGANTIC middle class neighborhoods in Brooklyn that have been middle class for decades.

All of Brooklyn is actually either called Red Hook or Ozone Park. The rest of it is just shit realtors made up.

I think Times writers just really don't get that there might not actually be enough upper middle class white people who want to live in the city to fill the entire city with upper middle class white people.

Clearly, the Bronx's reputation still suffers from the fact that it is the only borough that's identified with a felony in the theme song of Car 54, Where Are You?.

I think the Bronx will slowly but surely get more yuppies but the population ratio is not change fast enough for mayonnaise shops or whatever to be viable anytime soon. it's not even relatively that cheap cause there are lots of people who do want to live there, just most of them aren't white.
― iatee, Tuesday, 10 July 2012 16:31 (eleven years ago) link
Why does not white people never want to mayonnaise?

I dunno. Median incomes in the city have been falling and the finance industry is probably due for more layoffs in the next year or two even barring another legit collapse, which is itself possible. I think gentrification might be making its last big push for a while. I think it's even possible the borders will recede a little.
