The the native working class population is being priced out and the d-bag set in moving in. For the D-Bag set this decade is all about acquiring authenticity and living real gritty experiences. There are little to no real experiences to be had in the suburbs so the D-bag set is currently in hostile takeover mode in many parts of the outer-boroughs.

The D-bag neighborhood acquisition operation works like this. First the shock troop hipsters come in to prime a neighborhood for takeover. These people are the younger members of the D-bag nation. Many are sons and Daughters of older D-bags or future Yuppies in training. After the hipsters hit the ground and live with the mice, roaches and bear the attacks of the natives, the neighborhood slowly turns from working class to transient white collar class as the Hipsters drive up the rents. As additional reinforcements arrive from far off suburbs out of the D-bag training camps (Ivy League and similar institutions) they land armed with deep trust funds able to drive up rents on almost any hood. Once the Hipster set has maturated and the neighborhood is heavily entrenched in D-Bag culture (whole foods, traders joes, organic mania, acoustic music etc)then the heavy duty tenured yuppie officers of the D-bag army complete the annexation about ten years later. Flushed out are the ethnic deli's, stores and business's and in come the D-Bag stores which sell the microwavable versions of the same products once sold in the ethnic markets. Successful D-bag operations completed locally in the last few decades include Park Slope, South Brooklyn and Williamsburg.

People seem inclined to resist changes to their environment, but the reality is that places always shift. The "native working class population" wasn't always native. They got complained about back when they moved in, too.

In 1890, Park Slope had the highest per capita income in the ENTIRE COUNTRY. It shifted downward, and now it's shifting back upward.

It happens.
