The entire town literally smells like crap. The people are alright. No idea why anyone would want to live there.

The best thing about the gentrication war is all the trustfund liberal arts crowds shaming tech workers for trying to make a living.

Meh, soon enough you're left with the veneer of culture due to the commercial and superficial nature of it. Once this takes effect a cultural ghetto is created and the creators move elsewhere leaving a consumerist mess of boutiques and nonsense in its wake.

It's not like this is new, it's the natural order of capitalizing on development. If you want to hang with the arts kids, you'll be living in squalor. I mean hell, Vancouver used to be a giant powerhouse of culture generation, post-exodus the amount of cultural importance is rapidly decreasing spreading to other nearby locations.
