Bloomberg has a story about how the latest census numbers shows that a census tract in Dyker Heights saw one of the city’s biggest increases in ethic diversity over the past decade, contributing to New York’s standing as the most ethically diverse city in the country. The trend citywide—which was particularly pronounced in some areas, like the Dyker Heights census tract profiled in the story—involves a marked (31.8 percent percent) increase in the number of Asian residents in 2010 as compared to a decade ago. The article cites one broker who specializes in the Dyker Heights, long an Italian-American stronghold, who says that Asians have accounted for about half the home sales in the neighborhood since 2007. Another broker, meanwhile, says the majority of Asians who have moved to the neighborhood are professionals and not first-generation immigrants, and that they’re attracted to the area’s schools and housing stock.

it would be hysterical if the dykes moved in!

“Yes, you can tell all the Moonface homes, the first thing they do is install those freaking ugly ass “sustainable salvaged vintage wood” ego-extension doors, ”
haha, that’s exactly what I did rob! Tho I hardly think the ugly ass metal door that I replaced was original to the house either.
Able to frighten rob out of an entire neighborhood – Moonfaces!!!!
MM, I had an incredible welcoming moment last night. Walking by my nighbors I said hello to Mrs. Jones. I always call them by Mrs and Mr unless they’ve told me otherwise and she told me to call her by her first name.
I guess she finally surrendered to the fact that the irish were there to stay and make the best of it.
I know, MM. those sneaky Asians and fearsome Black folk. Why one would think they had the right to live anywhere.
“Some of the residents here were so concerned about blacks moving in, they didn’t even notice the influx of Asians,†said Nick Venezia, 33, manager of Ben Bay Realty Co. in Brooklyn”
(Cue disco music – bumf, bumf, bumf, I got the powwerrr!!!)
Able to frighten entire neighborhoods out of their homes – BLACK PEOPLE!!!!
So much for progress.
How’d they miss the Irish???
