The transition in Gowanus has been pretty dramatic, as has LIC. Bushwick and Ridgewood (to a lesser extent) were already gentrifying by 2014, but the pace in both in the past 5 years has been dramatic. Further out/deeper in, I think I can say the same about PLG and Flatbush.
(As I said, I think the feeling of safety is not very different between 2014 and 2024. What's changed is that the city's "zone of interest" wherein people expect to walk around uneventfully and with things to do has expanded significantly.)
