Please, hipsters (http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Hipster#) are the plague of New York City. They're like an attack of the Boring Borg, sucking the life out of any area they move into.
What they're doing with generations of families in Chinatown is pretty horrible. (http://www.villagevoice.com/2010-04-20/news/when-hipsters-move-in-on-chinese-it-s-ugly/) Now yuppie families (those are hipsters that mated and have spawned) are moving into the Christopher Street area whining about gay businesses, and all that goes with it. It's not like these families didn't know what they were getting when they moved in. I figured when the hip boys and girls started migrating into Greenpoint and "North Brooklyn," things would get zany with the Hasidic community.
These families have been in some areas for generations now (due to discriminatory housing laws I would gather prior to the 1960s), so if they ask to have billboards removed that are offensive, that's ok with me. It's not like New York City is lacking for outdoor advertisements. It's sad when the New York Time's is going to Portland Oregon to find inspiration for articles about exciting city life. Patti Smith recently said if you are young, and want to be creative, don't come to New York City. Go somewhere else; she obviously doesn't consider hipsters to be creative.
