My parents fled Brooklyn in 1954 for Long Island. What had been a lovely neighborhood was quickly going down hill. It’s done a complete turn around in the past few years with brownstones selling in the millions.

My neighbor also grew up in Brooklyn in the '50s and said her family moved out when the neighborhood became less "middle working class."

Glad to see there are some improvements happening.
