Greg Kelly on Fox 5 referred to the location as "Rlaph Kramden's old neighborhood." Um... ok?

What states are these "hipsters" from?

Ahh, more "Williamsburg Sunshine"...

Yeah this guy is a HACK. and apparently has access to the personal info from your profile, such as my EMAIL address. Way to go Gothamist!

Disturbing.

Indeed. I tried to read to read the hack's blog, so that I could insultingly use his material against him, but it was far too painful to read.

Have a nice weekend, LOSER. Hope your apartment doesn't burn down!

My comments keep getting deleted, so uhh.. John Del Signore is a talentless, boring, terrible hack.

Maybe 30 words of each Gothamist post aren't pastes from another website...and they're usually just snarky comments relating to the story...he can't even do that correctly?

Someone fire this idiot if you actually pay him...

Nice, I just received 3 links to the unsubscribe page for gothamist from this address:

Classy. If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen!

Wonder what you can expect to take that buildings place...

Agreed. I feel awful watching that video. I don't even wish that kind of thing on my own enemies. Oh wait, I don't even have any real enemies, because I'm not a PRICK like the writer!

Notice the tame headline about the fires in Bushwick? Yeah, sure, no hipsters there, right? WRONG! Gothamist writers all moved on to an urban dream & gaining their street cred.

Well, somebody is newly homeless and a lot of their valued possessions burnt to a crisp no doubt. I'm sure if they could get to their pc they'd enjoy the cute headline too. A few M-80's exploding up the writer's backside, now that would have been funny.

Yeah, that's a tasteless headline. I bet if you could afford to live in Williamsburg, you would. Besides, everyone knows that the hipsters don't want to live in Williamsburg anymore (lest they be called "hipsters") and that they have all moved on to gain their "cred" in Bushwick & Bed Stuy. Get with the times. Now it's all weekenders & stroller pushers. the dodgeball douches all live in the big bad B's. Even they don't deserve to burn. Do you live in Bushwick, or Bed Stuy?

I live directly behind it on Powers. What a horrible spectacle. And the smell. Yikes.

I apologize, JDS. I thought you were referring to the warehouse fire this a.m. A brief read of the blog would reveal my jumping to a conclusion. *takes foot out of mouth*

I agree, the headline is one of the more thoughtless ones posted on this site and you should consider the seriousness of the incident. also, the fact that it was in Bushwick... come on. at least get the 'hood right. glad to read that everybody made it out ok.

I still find the headline tasteless. Does he know that no one was harmed? I live on the street and they have shut down it down and there are ambulances everywhere, even hours after the fire stopped. There were families huddled on the street crying this morning and many brave firefighters working hard to tame and control this fire. A hardworking family's home was destroyed and JDS just thinks that it is another reason to crack a joke about LOL Billyburg Sux just because a few hipsters live in the area.

Stupidly dumb. I expected better from you JDS.

FYI that fire was in Bushwick.

JDS, I normally do not consider myself unduly sensitive. Your headline "Burn Williamsburg, Burn" makes light of an incident that a brave bunch of firefighters risked their lives and many hours to tame. I think you probably intended another angle, but I found it just a bit tasteless.
