too be honest it's all about hot chicks. Manhattan has more beautiful upscale women that look like escorts but Brooklyn has all the accessible hotties that look like they came from the west coast. If you take the downtown Q you will see what I mean.

Ok, did Jen Carlson not even read the article in the Daily News? The article mentions certain areas of Brooklyn being more expensive than nabes in Manhattan. Is it THAT surprising that Brooklyn Heights would be more expensive than Inwood or Washington Heights or Lower East Side? C'mon.

I love how they just ignore the majority of the borough. And to be fair, those neighborhoods are only popular among well off white people because of their proximity to Manhattan.

That LES 1 BDRM is more likely 350 SF. real estate people lie so much.

Ummm, Brooklyn as a whole or only fashionable neighborhoods? Brooklyn Heights should be more expensive than the EV or LES, it's a nicer place to live. I wonder how rents are doing in SoHo, Tribeca or the West Village? Last time I checked Brooklyn was much more than just Park Slope, DUMBO, Brooklyn Heights and Fort Greene.

How does this story go un-commented upon? What does this mean? End of the world? Will sinks now drain counter-clockwise?
