Guidos because they are "real" and don't try to run innocent, hardworking people out of their neighborhoods like the hipsters and yuppies do. Guidos are real NY'ers, yuppies are a-holes, and hipsters are fake wannabes.*

*I hope no one is offended by my quite blatant use of sarcasm. =)

Guidos = lowbrow/sometimes undesirable elements in specific community. Hipsters transition an area resulting in natives being priced out. Yuppies then move in after hipsters have laid foundation.

All the above have been harmful to the real estate market for the average Joe/Jane seeking an average home in an average community.

I'd have to put the three tags in a bag and just randomly pull one if I were forced to choose one of these characters.
