Spike Lee Talks Obama, the End of Mookie’s Brooklyn, and the Hollywood Color Line | Vulture This interview is fantastic, but my favorite part is the discussion of gentrification: But this isn’t Mookie’s Brooklyn anymore. It’s so different. But it’s all different. There’s gentrification of Cobble Hill. Fort Greene’s gentrified, Harlem was gentrified, Bed-Stuy’s gentrified, and Williamsburg is gentrified. People lived on the Lower East Side and got priced out of there. Then you moved to Williamsburg—oh, it became too hip. Now they are going to Bushwick. What is going to happen to Bushwick? Next thing, after Coney Island, there is the Atlantic Ocean. Only Staten Island will be left. I’m sure that will be the last resort.

But this isn’t Mookie’s Brooklyn anymore.

It’s so different. But it’s all different. There’s gentrification of Cobble Hill. Fort Greene’s gentrified, Harlem was gentrified, Bed-Stuy’s gentrified, and Williamsburg is gentrified.

People lived on the Lower East Side and got priced out of there. Then you moved to Williamsburg—oh, it became too hip. Now they are going to Bushwick. What is going to happen to Bushwick? Next thing, after Coney Island, there is the Atlantic Ocean.

Only Staten Island will be left.

I’m sure that will be the last resort.
