We are closer in spirit to Park Slope, not Williamsburg.

I think we can absolutely get some great eateries, but the makeup of the neighborhood is not conducive to a "cool or hip" neighborhood - too many people treat Fohi like the suburbs for that to happen. Besides, I think rent is already on the pricey side with 1 BR apt's averaging close to 2k now....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1540741986563382319.post-64916946303670892332013-10-07T06:42:37.646-04:002013-10-07T06:42:37.646-04:00Let's say all you hipsters get your wish.

Rents go up, you realize you can't afford to live here, then you move to somewhere else, say Kew Gardens or Briarwood and you try to turn those places into hipster paradises and the cycle continues.
