While it had nothing to do with me moving to a neighborhood here, living in Brooklyn does add a little extra peace of mind. Tourists are scared to cross the river, Manhattanites don't like to acknowledge it exists (until they eventually move here), and news outlets almost never give it any focus....so the chances of terrorists giving us attention is probably pretty slim in comparison.

How true, I helped a friend move last week and was a little concerned with her decision to move to Brooklyn until I saw the Equinox down the street. I figured any neighborhood with a $200+/month gym is probably pretty safe.
I also tend to perk up a bit more on the subway, the London attacks are still pretty fresh in my mind.
