I used to live about 3 blocks from here. Within a 2 block radius, there&#x27;s a children&#x27;s school, a popular outdoor bar, a hipster pizza restaurant, and some &quot;artist lofts&quot;. It&#x27;s likely that the residents and workers in the area don&#x27;t have&#x2F;didn&#x27;t have knowledge of the former monazite sand site. With the NYC real estate market as it is, there are a bunch of areas with toxic sites like the Gowanus Canal that are people are moving to. <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;gothamist.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;07&#x2F;30&#x2F;brooklyn_hipster_havens_toxic.php" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;gothamist.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;07&#x2F;30&#x2F;brooklyn_hipster_havens_toxi...</a>
