'''Brooklyn''' is a borough of [[New York City]] that is gentrifying rapidly because [[Manhattan]] has become too expensive. A lot of recent college graduates, including Columbians, live here, especially in neighborhoods like [[Williamsburg]] (for wilder, artsy types) and [[Park Slope]] (for more traditional, bookish types).

There are also mostly disinteresting neighborhoods inhabited by Brooklyn's dwindling native population, all of which are largely ignored by the urban intelligentsia or else speculated upon as the next launch pad for gentrification. All of this makes the geography of Brooklyn somewhat complicated.
