But this isn't about a culture war; it's about what happens to a neighborhood when douchebag bar owners move in. They make tons of money, but the neighborhood get trash, DUIs, vandalism, assaults, and people pissing in yards. Not homeless people pissing in yards; douchebags who just spent a hundred bucks in a bar, pissing in a yard as they stagger back to their car. Ask someone who lives -- not drinks or bartends --- in P.B. One more point: Adding another bar to a neighborhood increases sexual assaults by more than thirty percent....it follows that taking an existing bar and expanding it and attracting more people will likewise increase that problem. http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/128088.php While it's fun to talk about how a certain bar seems to attract pseudo-hipsters...there are real, measureable impacts on a neighborhood when another bar is added, or an existing bar expands. It's not just about whether the new bar attracts people with stupid clothes, or people with too many/too few tatts, or pompous douchebags like me. It's about how we behave when we get there, and what that does to the quality of life in that area. Drea, I appreciate your comments.

As for this bit....."so you dont like true north because noone there wears skinny jeans, have assymetrical haircuts or like approved bands from pitchfork and bros say nasty things to you when you walk by. kill yourself." ...the piece you were quoting was meant to be satirical. Using a passe form of douchebaggery to highlight the devolution that's going on. Your comment: "...the true measure of success isnt financial gain… but to keep a place going there has to be revenue to support it." There IS enough revenue to keep smaller places going. But why work so hard for the money, when you can sell you liquor license to a douchebag who will pay a TON of money for it. Why does a Lingendouche type want to move into your neighborhood? Because he can create a douchebag bar, and draw douchebags from all over the county, and make way more money than the previous owner. But don't take my word for it. Look at PB. The biggest, busiest bar (oops, excuse me, I meant "bar and grill") in PB...the biggest DUI- and douche factory on the planet, used to be a great Mexican restaurant. And, sticking with the PB theme...remember Margarita Rocks? A living, breathing, rotting, stinking open casting call for extras "Cocktail." It finally went away, and in its place, PB got Bar West. Ever been in there? Yeah, Bar West is gentrified....like Tom Hanks' tooth was "gentrified" in "Cast Away." get over it: I’m glad you understand the difference between SD and the other cities often cited as cultural meccas.

InkedProphet is such a renegade...I'll bet his has a "question authority" bumper sticker on his Volvo. Let's see, he doesn't like surfers or sunshine or Christians. He slams SD for a lack of culture...but apparently his definition of culture is tatts and hanging in bars. I like bars and skin ink, especially on women, just as I have for FIFTY YEARS OR SO. Prophet, old friend, if you really think you're ahead of the curve...hmmm. You're such a revolutionary...I dunno what to tell you. The point here is that bar owners push their own brand of crap on neighborhoods, and turn them into cesspools. Yeah, like PB. He also doesn't understand that this website is part of the movement to get the douchebags out of North Park. The people involved ARE making a change; he's just too dull to understand it. Nor does he GET that nobody wants to live in a neighborhood where there are so many bars. IP, the next time you drive through a really scummy neighborhood, and can't wait to get back on the freeway to get the hell outta there...do a little critical thinking. Ask yourself one question: How do I know this is a scummy neighborhood? The answer is that there's a bar or liquor store on every corner. It's urban blight, it stifles any "culture," no matter how you define the latter. Don't get me wrong, I loves me some beer and some socializing, especially in a neighborhood dive. It's not about the beer, it's about the outlet density. Still don't get it? Google "outlet density crime" and get educated. Final point, Inky....SD wants to be LA? Ummm, no we don't. The fact that you started out slamming SD for NOT being LA...then accuse of of wanting to be LA would be funny...except you didn't mean it as a joke. So it's really just a sad commentary on your own powers of observation. This is great! InkedProphet is such a renegade…I’ll bet his has a “question authority” bumper sticker on his Volvo.

That goes for all of you, and if you're not satisfied with some situation in your life, then make a fucking change instead of just bitching about it. …and as for “get over it”, you’re a douche (and probably a junior alcoholic) for knowing how many bars and beers there are on 30th as well as the amount of micro-breweries…just a hipster instead of a bro.
