This is a residential community not a commercial area. I've lived here for 30 years and I do not recall a clamoring for for all of these changes. I don't want this to into Park snobby Slope. Changing the name changes the faces of this community and what it means. Growing up with Irish,Turkish, Russian, Jewish, Arab, Indian, Blacks and Puerto Ricans, all sharing sharing the space and finding peace and building a community. Developers and greedy landlords chased the old residents of Williamsburg and Brownsville out for hiipsters and now its spreading to Caton Avenue. There are more condos being built than schools but the last time I checked, there were more children under the age of 16 in Kensington, than hipsters crying out for Lattes or Brooklyn Lager. The bridges are beautiful, running across it at night with my sister and being smacked in the nose by the scent of Kensington Stables was a part of my childhood. Acting West Side Story scenes running across it at night as teen and no one could see it. How dare you UNStable Brooklyn Community Group speak of taking this away.
