I support it because really all it means is that the neighborhood has improved to a point where lots of new people are moving to it. If you want to prevent rents from going up significantly, the solution is to expand housing construction either there or in other parts of the city. The issue of rents going up is due to the lack of new supply to match the growth in demand that most cities are going through. Population growth rates in cities can be pretty high. The real culprits in all this are the zoning laws and NIMBY people who fight against any new construction at all costs.

Also if you want to see what ungentrified Williamsburg still looks like, walk down towards the intersection of Broadway & Flushing Ave.
