While East Village has more problems and dead areas than Little Italy, I wouldn't say it's very accurate to say that Little Italy is where the investment and people are. It's more of a split especially in terms of investment. There are just as much highrise housing development on both fronts if you look at the past 4-5 years - East Village is just a much larger area so it's not as concentrated. And it's also getting an incredible expensive park and community center - currently under construction. Little Italy definitely has the crowds for their restaurant scene though - no doubt about that.
