"Gentrification has a lot of implications, positive/negative for both current residents and new neighbors. Wasn't trying to add my own comment (i think the article sums it up nicely), but "Gentrify" seems like the best description of historic changes in Park Slope." - Matt Hurst

“Almost by definition, real hipsters are not artists. They’re curators and critics, re-mixers and designers, the copywriters and “prosumers” who trail in the artists’ wake. At best, it seems, they’re art students: aspiring cultural savants who collect the names and slogans of past avant-gardes to hoard or brandish conspicuously, like capital.”
  
“What are we not talking about when we’re talking about the hipster? For example, criticizing the hipster is often a way of discussing gentrification and neighborhood change — while exempting oneself from the process. Figured as scapegoats, hipsters ruin neighborhoods by driving up rents with their parental subsidies, while the non-hipsters just … live there. Which is a totally ridiculous conceit.”

Congressman Falls For Months-Old Onion Story About Planned Parenthood “Abortionplex”
  
Meet Rep. John Fleming, the unfortunate Republican congressman from Louisiana who made that wonderful and all-too-common mistake of thinking that an Onion article was real and telling his Facebook followers to read it. Fleming’s Facebook status, from Friday, was posted by Literally Unbelievable, a Tumblr that collects images of Facebookers who think Onion satires are the real deal and post them on their walls.
 
What’s doubly sad about this posting (obviously deleted now) is that The Onion article shared, “Planned Parenthood Opens $8 Billion Abortionplex,” is from May 2011 and is something of a viral classic, even inspiring some users of Yelp to “review” the facility described. So not only did Rep. Fleming (who calls abortion a “pernicious evil”) or at least one of his staffers believe Kansas now has an abortion clinic with “coffee shops, bars, dozens of restaurants and retail outlets, a three-story nightclub, and a 10-screen multiplex theater,” but it’s not even recent fake news.
