The neighbors were not all artists and musicians, only the ones who patronized the place were. Despite their posturing, art galleries and new bars in this area were not a part of the existing community; the opportunities that attracted the owners were beyond the means of the people already living there. The idea of "pioneering" was probably the greatest divide between them.<br />The people who moved into the LES during the first wave of gentrification adopted countercultural elements as a commercial strategy. The "found object" aesthetic became a trademark used to attract consumers. Distinctions between art and commerce were inevitably less clear in a community where many had relocated not just to be outside the mainstream, but because other "bohemias" had become too expensive. shmnychttp://quilas.wordpress.com/tag/gentrification-2/noreply@blogger.com
