To live centrally and be an Austin yuppie you'd have to pay between $1200-1500/mo. The true young elite class is pretty slim in numbers compared to the army of hipsters running amok.
so what's it take now on the salary side to be a yuppie? $9,000/month rent in that Austin article seems awfully high even for a yuppie. at 1/3 salary for housing, you'd have to be pulling in 300-400k a year to be considered a yuppie?Originally Posted by gamelan

Yuppies are the people who think buying modern reproductions of vintage design classics are cool, and who also like to frequent wine bars, and participate in "green events."Originally Posted by LabelKing
In fact, their interests are mostly documented on that What White People Like website. However, there are Asian yuppies, by far the most obnoxious.
I'm totally going to check out that website after I smoke a fat bowl. I hope I laugh.

Its bad if white people move out of a neighborhood in order to avoid other ethnicities. The result of the move of wealth is less wealth in the newly-minority location. Thus everyone (businesses included) suffer and the ones that can afford it move to where the white people moved.
Its also kind of bad when rich (aka white) people move into a poor (aka minority) area and buy up all the property, then raise the rent to create a wealth oasis in which the minorities cannot survive. The minorities then have to move out.
The result is the same in both cases - concentrated wealth and concentrated poverty.

Holy ****...is this real? If so, these people are truly paradigms of the word "malcontent." I guess some people just need something to ***** about, and when they don't have one, they find one.

Of course most if not all those doing the protesting are them selves hipster douche bags who recently ran/priced out all the Brothers and the Mexicans. In a nice piece of real irony hipsters and "artists" are often gentrification's shock troops.Originally Posted by NorCal
That's what's been happening in W. Philadelphia for a while now. Combination of University of Penn and hipsters.
The irony of the white hipster "Uhuru" black power organization members who themselves are pricing the previous occupants out of the neighborhood.
Although, as a resident of W. Philly, I think we have more important things to worry about...

If you are too lazy to work hard enough to get anything you want in a country of opportunity, just hold up a sign and vandalize property of those who do.
