Brooklyn is not an attractive a location to live as Manhattan, but in recent years has become a haven for artists, hipsters, architects, attorneys, and other folks seeking lower rents, or properties they can own in New York. Bedford Stuyvesant rentals now appear affordable by comparison to Manhattan even though the prices are still high and climbing. Before 2000 Bed-Stuy had a reputation for being completely black, poor and full of crime. Now gentrification since 2000 has changed the character of the population and reduced some crime.
Black populations spilling over from Harlem were the first residents of Bed-Stuy when it incorporated into an official neighborhood in 1930. Several public school serving the community including a high school of business and technology named after Paul Robeson spot the area. Located in the northwest part of Brooklyn, Bed-Stuy is noted for its lovely brownstone townhouses. These buildings make great fixer-uppers for wannabe designers or clever architects. Social ills have always plagued efforts to improve this place.
As more and more young, upwardly mobile whites and blacks mingle in the surge towards neighborhood improvement through property ownership, rental opportunities and new business, Bed-Stuy is losing some of its older, disabled, ill and poor residents forced out by new pricing and few laws to protect them. The proximity of Bed-Stuy to the island of Manhattan makes it an especially good place to live and commute to work without paying Manhattan prices. However, older long time residents do not have that option.
many notable African-Americans have been born, grown up and lived in Bed-Stuy. Among them are the politician Shirley Chisholm, singer Lena Horne, musician Richie havens, and actress Vanessa Williams. Rap music has been highly popular and numerous well known rappers have emerged from Bed-Stuy streets. The most noteworthy white person to have grown up there was comedian Jackie Gleason.
Lower prices for property, transport, proximity to Pratt, and overall affordability make this place a gem for opportunistic thinkers. Gentrification implements new policing at the same time and so crime rates are driven down. Crime has always made Bed-Stuy cheaper to live in than other neighborhoods. It remains a frontier for those willing to invest in order to secure property and assets in New York, even if it is in Brooklyn. The whole of Brooklyn is becoming more desirable.
The problem of gentrification is that it tends to dramatically change the character, texture, and long-term tenancy of a neighborhood and its populations. It almost always forces out poor people in favor of those who can pay high rents when renovations have taken place. These people have frequently lived in these places for decades; are seniors, the ill, or the disabled.
Immigrants have flocked to this area because of the African American populations and many are African and Caribbean. With the gentrification there are more middle income black families starting to live there. Pratt Institute draws, as a school of exceptional higher learning in the arts, a community of paying students, faculty and others to the area.
while some changes, especially in crime rates, are desirable in most lower-income neighborhoods, Bedford Stuyvesant rentals and their prices may indicate that this once historically poor and black neighborhood is rapidly changing and becoming a place where many African-Americans are no longer at home. It is not sustainable thinking to displace older residents and people with disabilities.
