There's absolutely no "Bohemian" left in this town. I seriously don't know how artists make it here anymore. Also, the diversity has moved to Queens, Bronx and other boros. No one's fault, just too expensive. [ Reply | More

There's no accounting for evolution...the grittiness and authenticity went up for sale to the highest bidders- buying cool and a piece of the action seemed like a good idea-and then they woke up and couldn't believe what they'd bought.
