re: Stupid journalists thread: Why Old Timey Jobs are Hot Again

It's cheaper than Manhatten, and it was relatively cheap when they first got there. However, when young white people move into a place and displace people who commit crimes, the property values and rents always seem to go up for some reason. Then, those neighborhoods are flooded with posers and the cheapskates are priced out and have to find somewhere else to live. Weird, huh?

It goes violent ghetto trash, then gays and starving artists, then service industry and cultural small businesses (think Yoga Studios and thrift shops), then trust fund posers, then young families, then wealthier families, then old empty-nesters, then it transitions back to violent ghetto trash as the old people who stopped maintaining their properties due to old age die and are replaced by Section 8, starting the cycle anew!
