ohhhhh u mean the waterfront...right. the undeveloped area that people are trying to save in order to protect the views from their lofts. gotcha. in that case it is totally cool. lol. its still st00pid. nuffin more then people complaining about something they are already guilty of....gentrification.

just for clarity sake gentrification is defined as: "The restoration and upgrading of deteriorated urban property by middle-class or affluent people, often resulting in displacement of lower-income people."

people shouldbt be upset just because they are now the "lower-income" people. they existed before the hipsters of wacksburg...its just now that the hipsters are the po'

save williamsburg?!?!?!? are you fuqn kidding me? the people who live in wacksburg now stole it from the poor who lived in that hood for years. my mother grew up in williamsburg when her family moved from puerto rico. now they can not even dream of moving into that hood. save it for who? the soon to be elite of our society? so let me get this straight... you can gentrify a neighborhood up until a certain point and then you have to stop? is this a joke? go find somewhere else to live....just as the poor did when all the NYU students and "artists" financed by mum and daddy moved in. this is absurd. let the whiny ppl throwing this begone. move to bushwick and kick out more poor folk.
