There are reasons to live in Brooklyn just like there are reasons to live in Atlanta, Baltimore, Cleveland, Denver, etc. I am against trying to impute what a “godol” said years ago about Brooklyn to today’s society. I doubt even members of Reb Avigdor Miller’s family would guess what he would say today with the migration of frum communities across the USA. One thing I am convinced of…..the five boroughs is no longer the only place to live.
