I agree with all I’ve read so far in your Brooklyn article but there is one glaring “fact” that needs to be corrected. While Brooklyn does have the largest population of the 5 boros,QUEENS is the largest borough in size. It is a common miconception but shouldn’t appear in an article that claims to be an informed source.
