Killing Williamsburg

While we're not exactly sure how we feel about the whole issue of the changing face of Williamsburg (having lived through it in other neighborhoods, the knee-jerk reaction of "fuck gentrification" just doesn't ring true to us) we have to admit that we did find ourselves pretty saddened while going through the Killing Williamsburg flickr pool. This woman's story in particular bummed us out. In the meantime, we keep finding ourselves wondering what these photos will look like to us in a year or five. How different will the neighborhood actually be, and how much of the change, so looked down on by so many, actually turn out?
