Gentrification Wars Continue

The Washington Post has a piece on the rapid gentrification of Williamsburg, the part of Brooklyn I've called home for most of the last six years. It's an interesting backgrounder for those of you who haven't seen the effects on the neighbourhood, and a warning to other neighbourhoods that might soon fall prey to the war between those with artistic aspirations (trans. drinking all day) and people with more money than dress sense. Obviously nothing the artistic members of Williamsburg society say will have any affect on the incoming folks, but it's sad to think that someday this area will be as devoid of real spirit as SoHo and NoLiTa.
