I'm, I guess, using this thread to discuss certain urban revitalization topics related to large cities.
NYTimes had an interesting article on what is [[finally) happening around the Barclay's Center in Brooklyn.
Don't know hardly anything about Brooklyn so I don't have many opinions...
The authors do have opinions as to what lead to this housing boom.

As far as Barclays, it was located at a subway stop.
"Barclays Center is home to the NBA’s Brooklyn Nets and the NHL’s New York Islanders, and also serves as a premier venue for concerts and other events. Located in the heart of Brooklyn with a subway stop at its front door, the area brings new life to Brooklyn."
