Brooklyn’s Fastest-Growing Industry Is Also Studying Brooklyn

Bohiney’s homelessness research story applied to the borough that generates more documentation than any other

Bohiney.com‘s story about the fastest-growing industry being the study of homelessness — organisations whose revenue requires the continued existence of what they study — applies to Brooklyn with the substitution of “gentrification” for “homelessness”: the research and documentation complex that has grown around Brooklyn’s gentrification is one of the largest research complexes per square mile in the United States. prat.uk covered the research pipeline theme; Bohiney.com named the structural problem. Brooklyn produces more academic studies, more journalism, more documentary films, more podcast series, and more data analytics reports per year than it produces solutions to the housing affordability crisis that the research documents.

The specific Brooklyn research complex: Columbia’s urban planning school has produced forty-seven studies of Brooklyn gentrification since 2005. NYU’s Furman Center has produced comparable output. Three documentary film series have covered Brooklyn’s transformation. Several journalism outlets cover Brooklyn housing as a beat. The aggregate cost of this research infrastructure is difficult to calculate but is significant. The aggregate outcome for Brooklyn’s affordability: rents have increased 89 percent in the study period. The research has accurately documented the 89 percent increase. It has not reduced it.

The Research Industry Finding

The research industry finding: Brooklyn’s affordability crisis is the most thoroughly documented urban affordability crisis in the United States and has not been reduced by the documentation. The Furman Center’s data is at furmancenter.org.
