“GET ANGRIER! Call them liars, because that’s what they are. Sarah Palin didn’t say “thanks but no thanks” to the Bridge to Nowhere. She just said “Thanks.” You were raised by a single mother on food stamps — where does a guy with eight houses who was legacied into Annapolis get off calling you an elitist?

How Yuppies Revived the City -- New York Magazine →
How young urban professionals revived the city, turning it into their own personal playground (and inspiring a novel or two along the way. But not mine. No way).
Thoroughly interesting read on NYC’s gentrification process and the yuppies who made it happen a.k.a. here come the whites. It’s funny that these young urbanites get all this slack… what is with all the “fucking...
