11:04, nail on the head! Part of being a hipster is being pushed out of the hood you helped “found.” If the gentrification you yourself spurred ends up booting you out, you earn the hipster label and the right to bitch about it, not to mention the smug pleasure in exercising this right. Once you grow common sense, ditch the angst, and make an investment in your future by buying a home, you become The Man.
They had a previous one of these @ Black Betty back a couple mos ago. I had a friend who went and said it was so pathetically lame. Very pretentious. What are they going to tell you? Get a loan, get your daddy/mommy money, or your credit sucks, work on it? OK, bad attitude, but that’s the basics.
Good Lord. Don’t they realize that hipsters enjoy whining about having to live 3 to a studio and not being able to pay their rent? Talk about not identifying your target market!

By the way, Columbus did not discover America.
The Village Voice once described Ditmas Park an environs as “where aging hipsters go to retire.” I think that translates to “breed.”

Somebody please go to this thing just to take a photo for Brownstoner of the kind of people who would go to this thing.

this website is not half as bad as curbed. the comments aren’t half as mean-spirited either.
Kevin, that article was hilarious.
