Sunset Park New Arrivals

edited November -1 in Greenwood Heights and Sunset Park
I've lived in Sunset Park for 3+ years, and am just starting to notice what looks to me like a near-critical-mass of 20-somethings and 30-somethings arriving from elsewhere. It's beginning to feel a little bit like southside Williamsburg nearly a decade ago. What I'm wondering is the following:

--Are any of these new arrivals on these discussion boards?

--If so, how long have you lived in Sunset?

--Do you think you'll stay for 1 year? 2 years? 5? Longer?

--Do you actually spend time in the neighborhood with friends? If so, where do you hang out? If not, do you think you would spend more time in the neighborhood if there *were* a place where you felt comfortable hanging out?

(Just to clarify, since the overall board here blends the south slope and Sunset Park, I'm not talking about folks who live in "Greenwood Heights"---I'm talking about people who live between 36th Street and 60th Street between 3rd and 8th Aves)
