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 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.
