would it be brooklyn? >> i would bet on brooklyn. >> where?> i think -- >> it is a big place. >> well, downtown brooklyn is hotter than hot right now. i think the biggest challenge is that it's hard to find inventory and hard to find sites because in many ways, lots of people have been in and around the borough and looking at the opportunities over the last two years. i think it is probably difficult to find a real value play in brooklyn because of the boom. so having said that, brooklyn is the place to be and it has had extraordinary growth in terms of live, work and play. so the environment offers a lot, not only to people who live and work there but to investors. >> that sounds extremely bullish for multi-family housing. right? isn't the rental vacancy rate 1.5% only in new york residential area? >> yeah. so vacancy as defined by new york state, anything under 5% is a housing emergency. can you imagine, at under 1.5% vacancy, you understand that in our city, 65% of new yorkers choose to rent versus buy. notwithstanding historically low inte
