Agree in principle, but some of the hipsters probably are bankers too.
Worse for the communities who originally lived in either of those places.
I remember, about 4 years ago, when I saw the exact point of transition.
I was on a 76 bus on the way to work and when it passed by a new "luxury" block of flats in Hoxton. It was nearly built and they had big banners up outside advertising flats to buy.
The image was of a banker type bloke and an officey type woman - but both had asymmetric trendy haircuts.
