Ah SobroGuy, I know what you mean, alas. There are surely bigger problems in our city. Still, this one continues to stare me in the face on a daily basis. I think the poem was the catharsis I needed to let go of this obsession of mine. I am such a Scorp. lol. Thanks for your feedback. Time to move on.

To be sure, hipsters number in the 1,000's not 100's. Which landlord would not greet them with open arms, coming as many do, not just with attitudes, but with trust funds to make a landlord truly feel he's died and gone to heaven? In the meantime, hardworking people who have lived in neighborhoods for decades must now bow out and become nomads seeking shelter elsewhere.

Imo, the hipsters are symptomatic of a larger issue: economic disenfranchisement and corporate greed. In my neighborhood, the hipsters seem to be calming down a bit. Still, the larger, underlying problem persists.
