Thank you. More on the way...and yes, I agree with you. Though Brooklyn's density is more continuous. The built up environment in Brooklyn does remind me (from my own personal experience) to the north side of Chicago...neighborhoods like Lakeview, Wicker Park, the Ukrainian village. However, I'd say the identity of much of Brooklyn is more like the south side of chicago. The growth and loss of industry, the rapid demographic shifts and response and results of white flight to the area. Chicago is similar in more ways to New York than it would like to admit which is why I've always held the city in such high regard. There are of course vast differences but I always like to compare the two and their contrasts.
