''Lady and Gentrification'' is an an example of this trope
about a decade before tv and movies started covering gentrification and how it negatively affects communities occupied by mostly working-class people of color (rising rents, the disappearance of the local culture, and changes alienating to long-time residents) and the episode gets an overdue article praising it.
In a little more than 21 minutes, the show brilliantly captured the nastiness that’s gentrification. And while the ending is trite—it’d be nice if Latinos and others affected by rising rents could just magically buy property and stave off the coffee shops—the episode’s lessons resonate nearly a decade later. Hipsters are a plague that contribute nothing to neighborhoods other than their own self-entitlement and must be opposed on all fronts. Barrios are a beautiful thing that need no change unless longtime residents want it—and on their own terms. Good neighborhoods are defined by the people committed to its essence, not scenesters who’ll bounce to the Next Big Thing at the drop of a Snap. And when your neighborhood taquería starts selling salmon tacos, that means the hipsters have arrived—BARF!
