Downtown Brooklyn, Williamsburg/Greenpoint waterfront, and LIC will collectively have a pretty decent collection of highrises and skyscrapers in the coming years. I think all thats missing is a really distinctive 200+ meter tower in Downtown Brooklyn to cap things off, that would start to change the dynamics quite a bit.
I would definitely visit a Brooklyn forum often. I lived in Bensonhurst for a year and like to keep up with parts of Brooklyn I visited. I do believe one really tall building that offers a contrast to across the river from Manhattan would propel Brooklyn into building upwards with more vigor.
