Actually there is a white INFLUX into Brooklyn, and OUT OF Queens. Much of Brooklyn near Manhattan has become gentrified, with young, educated whites now dominant in Brooklyn Heights, Park Slope, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, and increasingly Williamsburgh/Greenpoint and Fort Greene. Their are even white folk (largely from Europe) who are moving into Bed Stuy!

Queens, on the other hand, is seeing its white population grey and move to the cemetaries, while Asians, Carribbean Blacks, and Latinos move in.

See posts #14 and #15. Brooklyn in becoming yuppie, while Queens continues to change demographically.

That's a good point...I was thinking more of decades gone by. When I graduated college, it seemed like everyone was moving to Brooklyn, especially Williamsburg. I stayed in St. Paul, only to end up around here anyway, but there was no way in hell I was moving to the hipster hellhole that Brooklyn (and increasingly Astoria) has become.
