  • Gowanus Gentrified?
    Gowanus Gentrified? Community Responses to Gentrification and Economic Development in the Shadow of the Superfund Michael Spitzer-Rubenstein Senior Thesis for the Urban Studies Program Barnard College, Columbia University Submitted April 18, 2012 Thesis Advisor: Meredith Linn Abstract Gowanus is an industrial neighborhood changing into a gentrified area, but it faces such severe pollution that the EPA designated the Gowanus Canal, which bisects the area, a Superfund site in 2010. The industry still in Gowanus includes a mix of traditional industrial businesses, craft industries, and artists, but they might disappear if developers build luxury condos in the neighborhood. This study looks at the clash between activists over how the community has and will change, focusing on the pro-development Gowanus Canal Community Development Corporation and the preservationist and pro-Superfund Friends and Residents of Greater Gowanus. Many local activists embrace the vision of Gowanus as a place for making things and hope to maintain industry. Even though industry left the neighborhood polluted, most do not connect the two. The Superfund seeks to clean up the neighborhood but it may pave the way for environmental gentrification, which is the pollution cleanup causing gentrification. However, fears of the Superfund harming home prices do not appear to be true; GIS analysis shows that land closest to environmental hazards increased the most in value. Residents also hope to avoid the experiences of other New York neighborhoods, which saw gentrification cause displacement. More than residential displacement, though, activists worry about the culture of Gowanus disappearing and hope to save it. Their remedies such as historic preservation and zoning Gowanus for mixed use may not be effective or viable, though.

  • Second Quarter 2021 Residential Market Report
    Cooperatives & Condominiums Second Quarter 2021 Residential Market Report Second Quarter 2021 Residential Market Report Cooperatives & Condominiums Brooklyn BHSID 20845406 Message from Bess Freedman CEO of Brown Harris Stevens Brooklyn apartment prices averaged a record $965,575 in the second quarter, as demand remained incredibly strong. Closings more than doubled compared to a year ago, and were also up 26% from 2021’s first quarter. The number of contracts signed during the second quarter set a new record, so expect the number of closings to rise sharply in 3Q21. I’m also happy to announce we have made two major changes to our Brooklyn quarterly report beginning with this issue. First, instead of reporting on just four major areas, we now have data for 12 neighborhood groupings. This will allow us to present more localized and relevant data to you. Secondly, we are now just reporting on apartments, as townhouses will now have their own semiannual report. BHSID 20873538 BHS 2 Q2 2021 All Brooklyn Brooklyn apartment prices averaged a record $965,575 in the second quarter, which was 10% higher than a year ago.

  • Analyzing the Income Gap Between Park Slope and Bedford- Stuyvesant
    The Effect of Education on Health: Analyzing the Income Gap between Park Slope and Bedford- Stuyvesant Sheba Antony, Marybeth Babu and Evan Biegel Spring 2016 Introduction Park Slope and Bedford-Stuyvesant are two seemingly neighboring towns in Brooklyn that currently differ in a multitude of ways: 1. Income Park Slope Bed-Stuy 2. Population 3. Health 4. Education What is responsible for these differences? New York City Teacher Strike of 1968 Ocean Hill-Brownsville school district, 1968: - 95% of students were black or Latino - 67% of teachers were white September, 1968 November, 1968 May, 1968 - previously dismissed teachers are - NYS Board of - white teachers reinstated with Regents declares deemed ineffective “partner” teachers district under state to teach students - chaos in classrooms control - white teachers are - Union president Al - strike terminates, dismissed Shanker advocates a leaving the city in an strike even more racially separated position Hypothesis 1. The 1968 Teacher Strike engendered more separation between races in NYC, in turn altering the education system. 2. Accompanying a change in the education system was a change in educational attainment and therefore income. 3. As the income gap between Park Slope and Bedford-Stuyvesant broadened, the quality of health in each area began to diverge. In sum, the education and health of an area are two major factors that influence the future state of the area. Education School Enrollment - Overall, Bed-Stuy has more enrollment than Park Slope until the 2000s. - In the past few years, enrollment in Park Slope has increased while enrollment in Bed- Stuy has decreased. - Conclusion: There has been an overall decline in enrollment; however, Park Slope seems to be slowly recovering.

  • New York City Housing Development Corporation
    New York City Housing Development Corporation 2000 Annual Report foundation for the future Building on a record of success by financing quality affordable housing that brings new purpose and vitality to New York City’s neighborhoods. Building on our strong foundation his past fiscal year marked more than just the new millennium for HDC. While the Corporation continued its extraor- dinary record of financial support for affordable housing in New York City, HDC focused both internally and exter- Tnally on laying a foundation for the future. No one can deny that New York City has experienced an extraordinary rebirth over the last seven years. The economy is booming. Crime has been drastically reduced. Tourists from around the country and the world are enjoying the best that New York has to offer. The most important aspect of this metamorphosis, however, is that people want to live in New York City once again, as evidenced by 2000 Census data showing that the population has increased by more than 600,000 since 1996. The private market has aimed to meet the resulting increased demand for housing by constructing and rehabilitating market-rate units in Manhattan. But this increase in supply has not offset increased demand significantly enough to provide low- and middle-income New Yorkers with adequate quantities of viable housing. Furthermore, the private-market-driven housing renaissance has been most apparent in Manhattan and has extended only slowly to communities in Upper Manhattan and the other boroughs. These neighborhoods have for some time contained not only large volumes of vacant, often grand buildings, but also a majority of the population that most desperately needs quality affordable housing.
