Well, what do you expect? $100 US dollars is probably equal to 15 Euros.

From looking at the menu of Mamalu,it must be a high end coffee shop. $8.00 for a ham and cheese sandwich. Picture the reverse scenario,an American citizen moving to Spain or any other western European country and trying to start a business...impossible. There is so much red tape to go through. Forget about finding a job. Spain takes care of its own citizens first. Maybe it is different if you are a professional or have a skill that is in high demand.
All I would be able to do is pick fruit on farms for a living. I have relatives that own farms in the outskirts of Barcelona. Anybody from anywhere can come to America and start a business asap.

I hope these new European arrivals respect the original hipster residents and their established community.

LOL. And I fear that the declining euro will cause many to try to make a quick sale/exit/getaway leaving the area to be replaced by hordes of newcomers from who knows where - Eastern Siberia?
All this back and forth and replacing of one group by another is causing quite a few to empathise with the original Native Americans who ducked for cover upon seeing that first European ship on the horizon. |

Undoubtedly they will... and hopefully, it will be in exactly the same way as the hipsters (who were hardly "original" to Williamsburg) respected anyone else's communities.  |
