"But before you start letting your anxiety about the future of the Brooklyn market keep you up at night (it's too late for us), Real Capital Analytics' Dan Fasulo offers this cheering thought: the condo glut is "going to provide much-needed affordable housing for the middle class, which doesn't really exist right now."
