The Gowanus area is mostly warehouses and abandoned industrial buildings. The only thing being gentrified and displaced are the rats.

Mutant* rats

You don't think they've gotten a superpower after surviving the pollution there?

That’s not the part they want to rebuild unfortunately. It’s mostly north of that towards boerum hill. The sheer fucking wasted parking in gowanus proper from car shops and warehouse entrances and parking is stupid. Move that stuff to red hook and let’s put houses by the train line.
