Damn right – those bloody Huguenots, parading their fancy silks.
What an edge Lord.
This is only adding to the gentrification.
Shoreditch wouldn’t exist without gentrification
Reminds me of the “hipster go back to mummy” in Dalston.
Spoiler, they didn’t.
I never understood the complaints against gentrification. If you own, you’re not priced out (in fact you gain from it), and if you rent, I don’t get how you can be entitled to anything, especially to maintaining a local level of relative poverty.
The whole thing sounds like an incomprehensible “don’t make this area too nice”. It’s like being anti-progress.
I don’t mind the graffiti either though.
35 years late 😂
Sprayed by a middle class oxbridge candidate, probably
I can sympathise with that and can understand their pint of view, however I have always taken the approach that there is no way to stop these kind of things from happening.
It will continue whether you like it or not, so you’re better off trying to see how you can best navigate it. Unfortunately and sadly nothing can be done against all the millions/billions pounds interests of developers, real estate companies etc..
How long does something like that take?
I remember reading a Dean Blunt interview where he said the people who complain the most about gentrification always seem to be the biggest gentrifiers.
Something about stable doors and horses bolting?
It was a doggy daycare that was displaced. Hardly a culturally significant location.
Must be nice to have the time to develop a display of such a cryptic accusation
never improve
I priced that job for a demolition company and a large proportion of that building was a run down shite hole. It boggles the mind that people think redeveloping an area not fit for human occupation is a bad thing. Bloody hippies
