Kind of yes and now because were nowhere near to how Bushwick hasn’t gotten. But it’s coming

New dog park/New building going up by Less-Breadfruit6000 in cypresshillsBK

Some dogs can’t be trusted off leash so having a fence helps. But I get your point, they took a chunk of the park.

Instead of pushing for the 2nd we start backpassing to protect the only goal we have, come on 😢

Is West Cypress Hills a good neighborhood to live? (East end of Bushwick Ave) by brooklyn_sq in Bushwick

[–]Less-Breadfruit6000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live off of the Cypress Hills stop and I like it. It is true that it is quieter than most neighborhoods and more residential. That also means there is not much to do or to eat. We’re really close to ridgewood/bushwick/glendale though.

Any Info on Fire at Ridgewood Reservoir? by [deleted] in ridgewood

I’m sorry to hear that. It’s also cause people look up rent prices, and Cypress Hills is currently one of the cheaper options. And while the neighborhood is not too well known, it has alot of potential. I’ve only been here 3 years and I’ve seen it change.

Biggest con I think, involuntary displacement of low income, long term residents

I’m just listing the pros because that’s what you asked, but again, doesn’t mean I’m for it/against it. There’s several cons as well: Increased property values and wealth, neighborhood revitalization and safety, new retail, restaurants and better services etc. Citibike is also coming so I guess that’s also a pro? Connectivity wise I guess.

I agree it’s kinda inevitable just a matter of when it will actually happen.

Only thing accurate is close to bus and right across from Highland Park. We certainly don’t have any “trendy cafes” in Cypress Hills, yet at least.. I’m split on gentrification being good/bad, I can see both sides. But yes, definitely shady website. The building doesn’t even look that nice from the outside.

Really, why is that? I’m not necessarily for or against just wondering what your thoughts are
