I have heard Brooklyn is gentrifying at a rapid pace, but back when I was there, Brooklyn just wasn't an option.

"Is" gentrifying? How many decades ago was the last time you went to Brooklyn? And where exactly did you go?

Do you have any idea how big Brooklyn is?

Since this comment is attempting to be pedantic, I'll give you a pedantic answer: Yes I have access to google maps just like the rest of the world.

Serious answer: Yes, the landmass that constitutes Brooklyn is large. The landscape of the main neighborhoods that have gentrified over the years are not so big. If you actually live there you know which parts I am talking about.

What are you talking about? By area, Brooklyn is more gentrified than not-gentrified.
