NY TIMES Article - Bohemia By the Bay (Staten Island)
Somebody wake me up. Somebody smack me. Somebody shoot me. This can't be happening. If you live on Staten Island you should be deeply concerned. These "cool" zombies are going to double the price of your morning coffee and your rents.
Think I'm wrong? Think you can sit back and watch this pass? Think again and do something now, it's still early, you still have a chance.

Just what the North Shore needs, another wave of knuckleheads to let us know how we're doing everything wrong. So just who anointed these bohos as the latest in 'cool'. Remember if you have to try so very hard to be 'cool', well Jack, you ain't!! As for the article itself you would think the writer would get out from behind the lofty perch of his Midtown desk and actually do a bit of reporting and try to present an accurate story. I am in Stapleton every day of the week and I've never seen the 'farm' he speaks of. As for people lighting bonfires in their backyards that's the silliest thing I've ever heard. Any sane neighbor would have the FDNY there in a minute. The last thing the North Shore needs is an infestation of Starfuck's and beatnik poetry readings. We need working people bringing money in raising families to make these neighborhoods work again. Anyway when enough of these self-promoting clowns have their ipods or Blackberries ripped off they'll all go crying back to Mommy and say what a terrible place this really is. Oh, if it could only be so simple. And who needs Herr Mayer's silly musings? I'll take Terrible Tim, thank you sir.
With much love, from Tompkinsville

Forgive me but is there a comprehension problem. I believe that article said they not coming. Some have come but have not been successful in getting others to follow. Hipsters would not be happy with the ferry schedule and the jerkoff developers that are raping the area now would be pricing them out asap. Dont waste your money, the area isnt that cool anyway.
