Ingersoll Houses. One year later. Newsweek profiled the housing project as "one of the starkest examples" of the failures of public housing. The article painted a picture of broken windows, cracked walls, flickering or inoperative lighting, and elevators being used as toilets. Further depressing the area was the decommissioning of the Navy Yard in 1966 and dismantling of the Myrtle Avenue elevated train in 1969 which made the area much less attractive to Manhattan commuters.

The Farragut Houses are separated from the rest of Brooklyn by the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, making the area relatively hard to access from the south. The poverty-stricken area stands in sharp contrast to nearby blocks in Dumbo and Vinegar Hill, where the median income is $148,611, rents average around $3,000 a month, and apartments can sell for over one million dollars.The average Farragut Houses family, by contrast, makes $21,000 annually. Eighty-eight percent of public school students in the area live below the poverty line, and crime in the Farragut Houses is significantly higher than in Dumbo and Vinegar Hill.]]> 2017-02-21 14:48:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jonmichaelmcintosh/txs0bcqzei5i/wish/155162118 Location of Development and Gentrification jonmichaelmcintosh https://padlet.com/jonmichaelmcintosh/txs0bcqzei5i/wish/155163771 Gentrification Images — of gleaming new apartment towers, police arrests, storefronts, street characters and interesting, only-in-the-neighborhood parking situations — take a nonideological, look at life around Downtown Brooklyn, which the real estate industry has been trying to rename DoBro.

The Brooklyn Tech Triangle made up of Downtown Brooklyn, DUMBO, and the Brooklyn Navy Yard has become a magnet for the world’s pioneering, energetic, and creative entrepreneurs and has emerged as New York City’s largest cluster of tech activity outside of Manhattan.
