Your interpretation of what the article says leads me to believe that you didn't read the article.
First, there's no mention of hipsters anywhere in the article.
Secondly, bacon is a "hip" thing right now, so it's actually more likely that the neighborhood hipsters are the ones signing the petition to save the restaurant.
You also conveniently leave out this important information:

In January 2012, owner Jim Angelus took over an abandoned store front in the Haight and opened the restaurant the same month without the proper permits.
A neighbor filed a discretionary review appeal a year later. That triggered an automatic hearing before the Planning Commission. Discretionary reviews can be expensive, time consuming and discouraging. In this case, Angelus said he was well aware that the ventilation needed to be upgraded, and he was ready to do it.
"I need to do that anyway," he said. "I just wasn't going to do it until I knew it was approved."
But he can't get the permits as long as the discretionary review hangs over the restaurant, so they're at a stalemate. On Friday, Angelus closed the cafe.
So, a guy opens a restaurant without the required permits, admits he needs to upgrade the ventilation to get the permits, but doesn't want to do it until the permits are approved, but let's blame it on his neighbors (who, for the sake of your argument must be hipsters. It makes perfect sense actually. Hipsters love bacon so much that a restaurant that specializes in bacon absolutely must be destroyed!)
Helpful hint: Read the article you post before you post it.
If I had more room in my yard, I would keep a couple for the eggs. I'm not a hipster.
I know a lot of people who have chickens and none of them are really hipsters... Often people who are really into gardening or live on semi-farms on the edge of the city.
Hipsters don't really like to get dirty in that sort of thing---people in that label are young transplants more into their outfits and trying to be cool and going out to bars and clubs and getting laid and so on. But people just insert ____(hipster) into anything these days. The word doesn't mean much anymore.

The complaint wasn't that he didn't have permits. It was that the residents didn't like the smell. Did YOU read the article? Additionally, bacon is not a a cool thing among hipsters right now. Being vegan/organic is.
Helpful hint for you: learn about the neighborhood in question before talking down to me like this. That neighborhood is known for being a haven for hipsters. Try again champ.
That is a good way to put it. It's so much more fashionable though to be a hipster than a redneck. Hipsters are on the cutting edge of culture while rednecks lack culture.
How is wearing clothes that are 2 sizes too small and look as if you haven't bathed or groomed for a month fashionable?
Maybe I had better get rid of my chickens so no one thinks I'm a hipster.
