Why hipsters? Is that the universal symbol of people to hate? What if it's Asian ? Spanish? What about older white families? The thing is we had over 30 years to get ready but aren't . 30 years to progress but didn't now we blame it on hipsters. Good grief. I respect Trinidad and Jamician families who lived in Queens and worked hard and saved and brought property and businesses . I respect the African families who came here and grinded it out for their kids to make it farther in life than they could ever go. These people didn't sit around and reminisce about the good old days when the area was shyt and we rob and killed each other. They took advantage of the lower prices on real estate and bought. I really don't see why people are complaining about areas being lost when you don't own shyt in it. If the people who own property there sell it , it's on them, they can say no. This complaining about this area is lost and such is crazy. This thread is great just to see people miss simple things like what if we moved to Midwest or placed where real estate and rent is cheaper , saved and moved back here or sent our kids here like white families do educated and ready to compete for high paying jobs or starting their own business with the skills to run it. But since this is the coli let me make simple post and blame hipsters or yuppies and look for daps.
