Curbed's stupidity was was baked into the question, by comparing a city of 250,000 to a neighborhoods of around 50,000. This is a contest of PEOPLE VOTING!!! At least it should have been just DT as the contestant. Downtown Brooklyn is less than 10k people according to Wiki, they better get the rest of Brooklyn behind them if Prospect Heights (83k) goes down.

Are you saying prospect heights has 83k people in it? you may want to check those numbers as it is the relative size of a postage stamp in Bk. otherwise, i agree that the voting numbers are skewed.

If seeding is any indication of how it?s suspected that certain neighborhoods will perform in the Curbed Cup, things are going mostly as planned this year compared to last year?s major upset. In Curbed Cup 2016, high seeds prevail: New development-heavy Downtown Brooklyn (3) triumphed over Harlem (11) by capturing nearly 20 percent more of the vote, while the Financial District?s great strides at the World Trade Center in 2016 helped it clinch a spot in the Final Four over the Upper East Side, which doesn?t look like it?ll be getting the Second Avenue Subway this year after all.

Slightly more surprising is that Prospect Heights (4) went neck-and-neck with Long Island City (5) to come out on top?and just barely. But the big upset of this year?s Curbed Cup is the continued dominance of Jersey City (9) that went on to pulverize the South Village (16) in the Elite Eight by garnering nearly 40 percent more of the vote.
