But Eric Ulrich, a Council member from Queens, told my colleague, “We are sending such a terrible message to the rest of the country that we’re not open for business, and we’re not open to economic development and new jobs.”

No jobs for worthless hipsters, what a terrible message that Americans hate!

    Industry City is a deserted wasteland in an otherwise vibrant Chinatown in Sunset Park. A very bizarre place filled with creepy, empty warehouses that have hipster-y barber shops and mediocre ramen stands.

    Industry City is a strip mall wearing horn-rimmed glasses and doc martins. Literally more enjoyable when it was a bunch of abandoned factory buildings.

        Industry city never had a fun artsy phase, it just went from an abandoned industrial area to this. Even now, I don't think the property values there are very high, there's just this massive blob of a shopping center slapped down in an otherwise uninteresting (to the average gentrifier) area.

            Pretty much. There aren't many places left in the city where you can exist without spending money, which means that even the indie art scene in the 'hip' neighborhoods is based around profit, or it's just people who are wealthy enough to afford self-indulgence.
