You're welcome! I think the first trade is out now so you could pick it up if you're far enough behind and want to catch up.

well, first fucking page and we have a new reaction image already. Someone crop out Bambam from that last panel.

>>92054823
This feels sort of obvious.

>>92054879
Barney is the best friend.

>>92054983
do people like these hipsters actually exist?

>>92055041
fuck you, the Blue Man Group is awesome. Good joke tho.

I'm feeling that the Neighborhood Association is a reference to something, probably to a Nickelodeon show, since their studios are getting replaced with Blue Man Group places. But I might be overthinking it.

>>92055041

Home owners associations essentially brigades of cunt faced boomers with nothing better to do than file citations against their neighbors for planting the wrong species of grass on their lawns or painting their house a different color than everyone else.

>>92055321
It was an ok issue

>>92055101
Yep, they're pretty much the main driving force behind gentrification, which this issue is satirising.

>>92055343
yeah, not as good as the rest, but ok.
hipsters are just too easy to make fun of - just include them and it's a joke in itself. comes off as lazy.

>>92055615
Rich people goto a poor arera raises the value of the neighborhood poor people can't pay the price and have to move

It's just that, as far things that are plaguing modern society go, Hipsters is very low on the list, compared to other things he could be writing about.

>>92054879
so handsome

>>92055615
Hipsters richer than the lower income area they're moving into so they can feel chic and edgy tend to experience massive cost of living adjustments that the original inhabitants can't afford and thus have to leave. Remember the episode of King of the Hill with the Hipsters moving into Entique's neighborhood? That's happening in a lot of cities nowadays.

>>92055321
So I guess the series will end with Earth dying

>>92055734

>>92055682
>>92055684
The Lower East Side of Manhattan, where I've lived for the majority of my life, was once the territory best suited to low income housing, tenement buildings, and small 'mom and pop' stores.

Now they're putting up fucking luxury condos and hotels every couple blocks.

>>92055615
>hipsters move into a low-income area because rents are cheap and they're a bit poor
>businesses catering to hipsters open in the area
>this raises property values
>original inhabitants are forced out due to rising rents

This always irritates me.
Why can't it be that the poor somehow get better off for superior property values?

Once the crack dens are replaced by Starbucks they get swept off to another poor area no one wants? How is that fair jeez.

>>92055966
because they don't actually own the property due to being poor

>>92055701

to be fair this is basically not that satirical, cause its literally just them.
no exageration, they're actually THAT shitty.

>>92056052

If you're lower or working class though, then no they're definitely the problem.

>>92056679
No, it's better this way.
Let it end before it gets stale and uninspired. The deluxe volumes will be available in the future, and people will love the comic, as it will be easy to pick up, with a beginning, middle, and end. Giving comics a needed boost again to be seen as literature.

>>92055774
But if poor people are driven out because of the rising rents, and hipsters/yuppies eventually can't afford to live there anymore, what's going to happen next? Are you just going to have whole areas of high-value empty houses?

>>92057325

Ayup. Have you looked at real estate prices lately?

>>92057325
and then, right as the homeless squatters start to creep in to get off the streets the whole thing gets bulldozed over to make a mall, which means nobody can live there ever again

>>92057325
I assume at some point the property values would drop, starting the cycle all over again.

>>92055275
That's a murdering face om Fred right there.

>>92057325
young people make less adjusted for inflation than they did 30-40 years ago so its up to old people or foreigners to keep buying property as "investments" driving up the price further while no one actually lives there more than a couple weeks out of the year.

the whole industry is based on nothing but if people ever realized that a lot of people would be out of jobs and a lot of money would be lost

>>92055005
Hipster slave economy? Neat concept.

>>92055966
Rural gentrification used to not be so bad due to the higher percentage of property owners and distributed job markets. Since rural areas tend not to have many public services moving to a less expensive area didn't come with the same cost of living increases that typically accompany urban gentrification displacement. However, after the decline of the manufacturing in the 90s and the nature of rural gentrification changing to large-scale commuter suburbs without accompany job growth, the effects now mimic each other.

>>92057895
Do you even know what a Flint is?

>>92058163
Nah its the gentrification. Hipsters take over the town so they all move out back to the wilds.

>>92055966
Being poor is, somewhat paradoxically, very expensive.

The main thing is that poor people can rarely afford to buy a house of their own, especially in the city, so they have to rent. Rent doesn't buy you anything permanent, so if your neighborhood suddenly becomes "hot" and housing prices skyrocket, there's no way for you to benefit from it. If you owned the house you can either keep living there and enjoy the improved neighborhood, or sell it and get way more than you paid for it originally. But if you're renting, enjoying the new neighborhood is impossible because rents will skyrocket to the point where you can no longer afford them, so you have to move out. And since you didn't own your house you can't sell it, so your only option is to find an even shittier place to live where the rent is still low enough.

Buying a house is an investment, which may or may not pay off in the long run, but either way you always get something out of it. Renting a house is shoveling money down an endless pit, which will never ever pay off anything except the right to have a roof over your head for one more month.

"Hey kids, do you want a job with a major company? Join a highly competitive internship program! Sure, you won't get paid much, if at all, but you're rewarded with experience and job references! Except that internships themselves are mostly just extended job interviews where the interviewer works for cheap with no assumption of hiring, job performance really doesn't matter because there will be a new crop of underpaid labor showing up in 6 months, the tasks you perform as an intern might have nothing to do with your actual educational or vocational training, and the very fact that you weren't hired on by the company you interned for can be seen as a black mark against you by other companies!"

>>92058412
I don't normally respond to these images, but

Hey! Thanks, mr. Gazoo!

>>92058412
Hey! Thanks, Mr. Gazoo!

>>92058262
Buying isn't really much better unless the price retroactively skyrockets. You still pay the same or a greater amounts only now you have to pay maintenance, taxes, and everything else the person you rented from had to deal with plus interest rates.
With a mortgage you're still renting. It's just that you're renting from the bank.
The benefit isn't until after everything is paid for and that's a bit unstable nowadays since if you don't single out one kid to inherit it then the children will just sell it off and split the money nowadays rather than learn to keep/share it.


The interesting thing about property ownership is just how much of it was outright given for away for free by the US government which is basically why so many that aren't ultra wealthy have property in the first place.
Between 1/7 and 1/4 of all American's are descended from a person that was given free land from just ONE of the various programs (I forget the name and I'm way too lazy to google it for you atm) and that's mind boggling when you consider that the USA is considered an immigrant nation while these grants were almost exclusively for white people.

>>92058695
>USA is considered an immigrant nation while these grants were almost exclusively for white people.
well a lot of immigrants were white

>>92058412
perfect

>>92058412
Hey! Thanks mr. Gazoo!

>>92058412
Hey! Thanks, Mr. Gazoo!

I wonder how many people we could trigger with this portrayal of hipsters?

>>92058751
Two seperate but equally important facts within the same sentence.
They gave grants exclusively for white people then for several hundred years the US had immigrants pouring in and we still had such a high percentage of people that up to 1/4 americans in general have technically benefitted from being outright given free land. Just because i said immigrant doesn't mean i meant nonwhite.

>>92058695
If you're referring to the Federal Housing Administration, it doesn't give out free land; it underwrites and insures mortgages and home loans. Most of the Housing Acts of the 20th century only involve public housing. And "retroactively skyrockets" makes no sense, buying a house is the better deal as long as property and housing values remain stable or rise. The real problem is that most people take out mortgages that are too long, thus driving up the cost of ownership. One should never get a mortgage that lasts for more than twenty years.

I didn't like Pebbles design at first, but she's been the cutest nerd throughout this whole run.

>>92058896
No. I'm talking about actual free land given.
Here's just one set of examples
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homestead_Acts
>The Homestead Acts were several United States federal laws that gave an applicant ownership of land, typically called a "homestead", at little or no cost. In all, more than 270 million acres of public land, or nearly 10% of the total area of the U.S., was given away free to 1.6 million homesteaders; most of the homesteads were west of the Mississippi River.

Additionally the whole legend of johnny appleseed was a dude taking advantage of laws to give himself free property/land ownership after he simply planted some apples and came back to confirm they grew This counted as him developing the land so he was then granted ownership of the land.
I know this is hard for you to believe but massive amounts of land in the US were actually free.

You're entire centuries late in this conversation.

>>92059086
Can't fault her taste either.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55Sqe8VkS80

>>92059099
You should have more closely read your source, The Homestead Acts of 1862 and 1866 specifically include black people and didn't require proof of citizenship. Approximately 10% of US territory was given away during the Homestead Act's existence.

Johnny Appleseed not only died 17 years prior to the passage of the first Homestead Act, he also didn't meet the actual requirements of the Act, as he didn't reside on the land for five years.

>>92058412
Hey! Thanks, Mr. Gazoo!

Flintbumps

>>92059479
I did not say only homestead acts. I said homestead acts were an example and that Johnny Appleseed was also an example of methods people could use to get free land. I did not at any point state he got it from the homestead acts specifically.
They are both two of the many ways in which people could get given free land.

>>92058412

Hey! Thanks, Mr. Gazoo!

>>92059566
The various Land Acts in US history offered the land for sale, not for free. And Johnny Appleseed is not an example of methods people could use because he didn't actually meet the requirements of getting free land and thus not get the free land. Land speculation corporations would use employees to file claims, develop the lands themselves, then have the property transferred to the corporation once acquired, assuming they didn't just commit outright fraud.

>>92055085

The smithsonian disagrees with you.
He planted apple seeds and then got granted 100 acres of land once they had grown which he then sold to the settlers.

>>92055682
>>92055709
>>92055774
All good but a point on why the hipsters want the urban environments in the first place..

In the 1960s, with the fair housing act, you had something called "white flight", where white people would move out of neighborhoods where black people moved in. So doing the opposite is seen as virtuous.

Second, hipsters hold Europe as a superior living standard. Higher density urban living as better than suburubia.

>>92055966
>Why can't it be that the poor somehow get better off for superior property values?
Not sure if communist or tautological. But seriously, they can. They just have to commute to visit the nice places as tourists, as it's what they can afford.

>>92056610
>>92056662
No. There is no problem. This is just fundamental economic forces at work.

>the real problem is property owners who raise rents and property developers who raise general cost of living in response to hipsters
..are giving people with money what they want.

>>92057325
If patterns hold, hipsters who have children will want to cart them around more easily and want more living space, and move to the suburbs. Poor artists will move out when the rent gets too high. Some of the places will become dedicated to the super rich. Some of the places will collapse into what they were before the hipsters showed up.

>Are you just going to have whole areas of high-value empty houses?
Not for long. There will be real estate bubbles for sure.

>>92058412
HEY! THANKS, MR. GAZOO!

Fred, I...

Reminder that the eisner nominations are in.

This comic was COMPLETETLY shut out, and Mockingbird got multiple nominations.

>>92060097
That article not only clearly states he was awarded the land from a private corporation, it also states that he cleared the land and cultivated the orchards in accordance to the terms of the settling arrangement.

>>92060174

I thought that they would find the statue beautiful or something and spare Earth on that basis.

>>92060356
If you're talking about urban housing and rents then you can't talk about "fundamental economic forces" with a straight face due to the massive amount of government intervention in urban housing markets.

And moving back into urban areas isn't seen as virtuous, it's a symptom of a rather elitist attitude that anywhere outside of urban areas is somehow devoid of cultural merit.

>>92060474

I actually thought they'd pick one of the hipsters.

Well yeah, I felt like pointing that out to the people claiming it totally wasn't might be too much.

Song somewhat related. Nonetheless a good thread theme. Even if hipsters preach to consume less its still about all the useless crap and status.

>If you're talking about urban housing and rents then you can't talk about "fundamental economic forces" with a straight face due to the massive amount of government intervention in urban housing markets

Sure I can. Richer people want it so they get it is as fundamental as it gets. Government intervention can change the price tag of doing business, or introduce weird temporal distortions, but really doesn't change that, as it would in China or Switzerland. And much of the regulation, like say rent control actually generally works against the hipsters.

>>92060474

Way to go man. I've done those type of edits, and they're a pain in the ass. Thanks for your time and effort.

>>92061569
No, mainly just in planned neighborhoods with a Home Owner's Association looming over your shoulder.
They're a bunch of uptight assholes that charge you money for membership, fine you for not being part of it, and can fine you and maybe have you kicked out if your yard doesn't meet their arbitrary standards, like how long it's been since you cut your grass, or the flowers you're letting go to seed under your window that they demand you deadhead.

>>92062639
>I've done those type of edits, and they're a pain in the ass.

Just use the eraser to remove any parts contiguous to the shape you want to crop, then use magic wand with some level of tolerance and antialiasing turned on.

When I say it took 1 billion hours I meant something like 5 minutes max. But, it's probably because this pic had maybe one or two contiguous black lines that had to be erased before using the magic wand.

>>92062642
If you're lucky to dodge the Home Owner Associations there are still Town Ordinances which will have you fined, jailed, or have property seized.

I can't have my car on my lawn or they will tow it and force me to fork 50 dollars to the city and 50 dollars to the tow company. If I don't the tow company scraps it or sells the car.

In the next county over from where I live, you can't have a gravel driveway, it has to be concrete or asphalt.
Thankfully, my parents were smart enough to check the local laws and buy a place where no one gives a fuck.
We had huge brush piles in our yard, letting it dry out after a tree cutting service came for some pines and trees in bad spots, sitting there for months before a few neighbors got tired of looking at it and told us they'd look the other way if we'd make a few bonfires out of the burning season.

Oh, I guess this is the Scooby Apocalypse crossover issue, then.

Russel must be running out of ideas if he has to resort to a homeowner's association episode of all things. It's an issue that's completely irrelevant to most of his audience, and the X-Files already spoofed them back in the 90s too. Good thing DC is sending this out-of-touch gramps packing.

Hey, just because most comic book readers are basement dwelling nerds, it doesn't mean they don't know what assholes condo boards are.

>>92065529
>also it's a gentrification episode
No it's not. Fred didn't have to move out because everything became too expensive. This was purely annoying busybody-bullshit, and it was mirrored with the gazoo plot. He just used hipsters instead of boomers.

>>92065702
Fair enough, he paid the briefest amount of lip service to gentrification (which is also becoming a cliche, South Park did it) before going back to his home owner's association plot.

>>92054879
>ywn have a friend as good as Barney
;_;

>>92065802
homeowner's associations are more of a conservative suburban thing

>>92056662
That's a natural evolution of the hipsters moving in, though.

Hipsters are too poor to live in the already expensive areas, so they move to cheaper, poorer ones, where they have more disposable income than people already living there. This means they are willing to pay more than what the old asking price was and cause prices to go up as more people of their income bracket come in, while also bringing along individuals with enough money to open businesses catered to the new income bracket and beyond the resources of the original one.
It's a problem as old as urbanization, and it's kind of related to the rise of suburbs and urban sprawl.

>Between 1/7 and 1/4 of all American's are descended from a person that was given free land from just ONE of the various programs (I forget the name and I'm way too lazy to google it for you atm) and that's mind boggling when you consider that the USA is considered an immigrant nation while these grants were almost exclusively for white people.

Well, they had to fill in the Great American Desert, and otherwise all the people fleeing famine, war, or religious exclusion would just end up squatting in New York or some other major Eastern city.

I mean, that's absolutely true though. Sparsely populated rural areas with no services or jobs don't really provide anything worthwhile, especially for young people. Even families just move to the suburbs so they can take advantage of things like better schools.

Most public housing is designed to isolate residents from other neighborhoods.

Technically hes renting and also the greater community potentially has a say over what you do if the believe it harms them. Its supposed to be for things like drug labs, wild animals, or violent behavior that would inhabit your property, but instead its for the most bullshit and petty reasons where assholes with too much time on their hands feel the need to feel superior over others by telling them what to do.

Yeah but you do get that rich white assholes are the cause of gentrification, and it's not their* problem right?

*other than those that feel guilty about it but do it anyway

>>92077518
I like gentrification for the most part, cleans up the sketchy parts of town. For example I live next to an area that has been going downhill for years.

It's now being gentrified, so all the shitty people are being forced to leave and it's becoming a better wealthier neighborhood.

If your neighborhood was shit to begin with and prices were cheap you should have worked out a rent to own scenario with your landlord.

However I haven't come across the hyper hipster gentrification scenarios depicted in this comic, but I hear about them all the time.

>>92077596
Thing is, even if you own your property, gentrification can cause the property taxes to skyrocket until you can't pay them, and then you get foreclosed on anyway. You still get priced out, and in in some ways its worse because it's a slow bleeding death.

But hey, at least you get a bunch of empty luxury apartments to look at on the way out.

>>92077631
you can rent out your property and move somewhere else, however in California we have prop13 which caps your taxes at 1% of the purchase price for life.

Worked out real well for boomers sitting in $550K homes they bought in the 80's for $80K

I get that the Flintstones were considered an adult cartoon at the time, expy'd from The Honeymooners, aired in prime time, the characters did ads for cigarettes, first show period to show a woman going into labor, but this is still a hell of a thing. Props to DC and TW for not neutering it.
