In an article on the impending bursting of the bubble in New York real estate, Sunday Times (UK) columnist Dominic Rushe manages to make a rather offensive comment about the borough which he is temporarily calling home:

I now live in Williamsburg, a horrifically trendy part of Brooklyn. I moved here because it was cheaper, slightly, than where I lived in Manhattan. Now warehouse properties here are selling for as much as flats in Tribeca. Prices are even going through the roof in Bed-Stuy, a horrible and inconvenient area of Brooklyn with some lovely buildings and a nasty crack habit.

Nice. Real nice.
