SLUG: NA/WILLIAMSBURG, #11 DATE: 03/22/2006 PHOTOGRAPHER: Sarah L. Voisin/TWP id#: 178576 Brooklyn, New York The Brooklyn, New York neighborhood of Williamsburg is rapidly becoming Gentrified. The more influx of more affluent residents is pushing up housing costs and making it difficult for the latino, hasidic, polish, and italian communities. PICTURED: Two women with baby strollers push past a graffitied used appliance store at the corner of Bedford Ave. and S 5th St. Families are now making this once pretty rough neighborhood their home.
