It must be something specific with the money. They seem to give a very special self-confidence. A feeling that I have paid for me, I should indeed have more say than the others.
How else will you explain all these egenrättfärdiga people who buy a condominium in the middle of the inner city, precisely where it is most expensive because it is located near everything: supermarkets, cosy shops, bars and folkmyller – and then purposefully kill every sign of life in his presence? Even the establishment that not only were already there when these people moved in, but the nearest one is to be regarded as cultural heritage.
Settle you, for example, on top of a bar? When are you stupid if you get surprised and angry when the the will SOUND FROM the BAR.
It came Beach. It came Snotty. Debaser Slussen. And now there are Bitter Pills. But it is not only Stockholm’s night life. Even the church bells that klämtat since the 1700s in trouble. As well as kindergartens, as to and with children playing in the daytime is more than what the new neighbours ‘ delicate ears stand out.
the process in itself, as it’s usually called gentrification. An area is slummigt, and therefore cheap. There move those who do not have so much money, young poor artists not least. Together they create something exciting by the district, the more then want to take part of. Independent boutiques, cafes and pubs open the doors, the more cleaned up the creative class – designers, advertising management, people with the money – streams. Rental apartments are converted to condominiums, that you have to have stable finances in order to buy.
Everyone wants to be where the action is, and the prices go up, up. Whereupon they who first lived there can’t afford to stay longer. What is left is the rich, pseudokreativa, they usually called the hipsters, and who only care about the surface, which, consequently, are obsessed with authenticity. Dirt and mess they don’t want to know. No, yikes! Soon, the area is sterilized and svindyrt. ”A coffee? There will be 119 pix, buddy.”
Somewhere must the people take the road, and gentrifieringsprocessen economists would not, perhaps, new areas emerge, and the city thus stand still.
suggest that those who for nothing other than to stay in beautiful backdrops in the future be subordinated to a principle of reasonableness. Those who buy the condominium have bought the right to reside in a particular apartment, not the right to decide over the whole area. And they should be considered responsible to pre-inform themselves about the atmosphere in the neighborhood.
Settle you, for example, on top of a bar? When are you stupid if you get surprised and angry when the the will SOUND FROM the BAR. If anyone should move it is, therefore you. For the right to silence is actually at all no right – least of all in a big city.
