LOL. So true. I would rather have yuppies and hipsters than thugs/ghetto folks.

To people who are displaced by gentrification---the Yuppie stereotype represents the villain behind their disruption. Additionally, some intellectuals view the Yuppie as self-indulgent, self-important, energy wasting, over-consuming individualists, who often lose touch with the world condition. These are the two main reasons why they are hated by some people.

iphones, macbooks, starbucks and flip flops sums up most yuppies I see in and around the city.

There is over 8 Million people living in NYC, I wouldn't worry what anyone thinks about you in general, regardless of what you make. Besides, they will probably just be worrying about themselves and what they have to do.
