"Within the five boroughs, “inexpensive” neighborhoods
once prized by creative workers are quickly becoming
out of reach. In the ten community districts
most closely associated with art and creativity, rents
rose by at least 32 percent from 2000 to 2012. This
compares to a median increase of 23 percent across
all New York City community districts. The neighborhoods
with the fastest rising rents in the city were
Greenpoint/Williamsburg (76 percent), Fort Greene/
Brooklyn Heights (58 percent), Bushwick (50 percent)
and Bedford-Stuyvesant (47 percent).69" - from page 36, Creative New York.
