WHERE

anddd, I commented on another blog called Where on a post about the creative class:

I definitely see what I guess you could call the dangers of inviting the creative class into a city, and in doing so, risking gentrification.  You can see this happening (or it has already happened) in Silverlake and Los Feliz.  And even earlier than that Venice, Ca.  Importing or giving incentive for the “creative class” to enter a city has its ups and downs, and I don’t necessarily think that cities need to be reinvigorated with outside talent when that talent could very well already exist within that city and just needs to be found.

The “creative class” connotes, a certain hierarchy, that, just looking at local examples of this “creative class,” is young, middle class and white.  In effect, living in places like Los Feliz, became to expensive to live in (which is a good sign of economic progress) making it difficult the existing population could no longer live there (which kind of sucks.)  I wonder if there is a possible equilibrium between these different groups (or I guess you could say “classes”.)
