Brooklyn has more space. Manhattan is a little island.

People hate commuting.  Depending on where you are in Brooklyn (like Carnasie) can take an hour to get into town.

The good jobs are in Manhattan. People who live there can walk to work. People who live in Brooklyn have a half hour commute to Manhattan.

- Crime 

- Ethnic diversity 

- It is further away from NYC proper

Brooklyn is three times larger than Manhattan, but Brooklyn's population is only 59% higher than Manhattan.  The Law of Supply and Demand is at work here.
