Either that or it was about 70 years before the whole Occupy thing...
I can't tell if the original post was a joke or not. This thread confuses me.

Meh, does it matter? lolI can't tell if the original post was a joke or not. This thread confuses me.
He's much too well-fed to be a hipster. Looks more like someone who used to post a lot around here, in fact.
Although the bathing suits in the background certainly don't look modern to me.
Oh, I knew it was an old pic -- I was joining in the spirit of the post by being sarcastic.
Ol' Walt was no kind of hipster -- he never colonized a working-class neighborhood and drove out the longtime residents. And nothing he ever did was "ironic" -- all the films he made in his lifetime were extremely sincere.

Are you paying more in rent than the apartment is worth just for the sake of living in a "cool neighborhood?" That's the trigger that fires the gun of gentrification. On the other hand, if you're not paying a "cool neighborhood" price and you're respecting the culture of the neighborhood rather than trying to impress your own upon it, you'll fit in just fine.

Up here we have what we delicately call "Massholes," youngish people who move up here from out of state, often from upper-middle-class parts of Massachusetts, and immediately thrust themselves into local politics with the goal of making their new home as much like their old home as possible. We locals tend to frown on this, and tend to make our feelings clear on the matter.
I think there's a place down the street powers - come on over!Ah, you are getting what we in California got in the 60s and 70s except it was hippies screwing up the state and politics who came from the east coast. It was not gentrification though---more like ghettoization. I would be happy with gentrification as opposed to hiipieization and the ghettoization they caused.:eusa_doh:
Sounds more like they are getting what Montana got from California in the 80s and 90s.Ah, you are getting what we in California got in the 60s and 70s except it was hippies screwing up the state and politics who came from the east coast.
Don't forget Seattle. But really, what are you going to propose - not letting people move where they want? What's the answer to this one? I'm all ears.Sounds more like they are getting what Montana got from California in the 80s and 90s.
