this is all bs, Im young, white, and coming from a ****ty city. not suburbs, a city. Yet the reason i desire to leave, is that the rent is the same, and there are hardly any young people here, there is nothing to do, no one to meet.. my citys streets look as if they have a 2 person weight limit or something. not to mention it doesnt help that its car country. I know you cant imagine that living in new york, full of young people, but its terrifying. I live in FLORIDA. i serve food all day in Tampa Bay to nothing but people above 60.
Now all i can afford, with my girlfriend, is 1200 a month maximum. an thats working 50+ hrs a week.
I am an aspiring travel photographer. I have worked so hard to get where im at with out the aid of my parent. I left home at 17. dropped out. and followed my photography dream. so far i have had some great opportunities i would have never had if i had stayed in school. i am now 19, my girlfriend 18, both of us living paycheck to paycheck, but we need to get out of this place.
Check list:
white? yeah
young? yeah
calls themselves an artist? yeah
poor? yeah
wears tight pants? yeah would you call me a hipster? ...
would you despise me if i moved into an abandoned industrial part of your ethnic nieghborhood?...
i have been wanting to rent out a small loft for a practical work/living situation.
"east williamsburg" aka almost bushwick seems ideal.
it seems id be priced out of all of the loft spaces besides the McKibben lofts, which i know has a large amount of hate attached to it. also, i heard bedbugs, and shallowness resides there.
"Safe" means different things to different people. to me safe means not risking getting raped while walking home at like 10pm.
im not naive, and i know gentrification is caused by college students with daddys credit cards and yupps. but i am neither of these things. the last thing i want to do is displace someone from THEIR neighborhood. but sometimes your neighbor"hood"s are all i can afford, barely. i dont want to live there because i think its "cool" or gives me "street cred". i simply cant afford anything else worth the move.
i am accepting and open to learning about people, cultures, and traditions; and some are not, and just want the space. which is also why i understand why natives hate "hipsters".
CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW I CAN MOVE HERE IN PEACE?!!
i might be an artsy type, i like music, films, art, whatever, but i want to meet and make friends with a variety of people, from all different walks of life, not just some stuck up brats who dropped out of art school to wear band tees and drink pbrs. I have had friends from all different backgrounds where i live, these boards just make it seem like everyone is so damn judgemental by your look before they know you up there.
can anyone tell me if i move here, lets say bushwick/east w.burg, if someone like me will instantly be hated by most and classified as a yupster from a distance, or will most people up there actually consider you as just another dude working as hard as everyone else to live where everyone lives?
yeah
Congratulations, you are obnoxious enough to be classified as a hipster. You have a distinct d-bag aura, so yeah
Personally, I don't associate with hipsters but I welcome them with open arms.
White people are a dying breed in NYC and we need all the help we can get from hipsters and transplants.Lol
Gentrification is pure nonsense. No one " owns" neighborhoods in any sense.
When non whites move into predominately white neighborhoods it's fine ( as it should be) but when whites move into non white neighborhoods it's bad?
Congratulations, you are obnoxious enough to be classified as a hipster. You have a distinct d-bag aura, so yeah
