You could argue it's one of the best transit centered developments in the city. And for that, I love it.

By gentrify, I mean that normal people will be there. Right now, that stretch of Sutphin is inhabited by lowlives. That would be a good area for young professionals since it's a 15 min express ride to Penn.
