In NYC it's rent and all those other things you mentioned. As a native new yorker I say, this place is overrated.

I'm 30ish, latino, "hipster adjacent" and live in Brooklyn. I would not be interested in dating college students either (with the exception of grad students). Maybe I should consider moving to Austin.

Out of curiosity, are there no "late-20/early-30 somethings" hipsters in Austin? Because New York City and Los Angeles are filled with them.

He should go to each and every one of their homes, knock on their doors, ask for them by screen name and proceed to beat the crap out of them. I feel like I saw that in one of his movies...

As an American my opinion on this subject is moot. But yeah, I'm gonna say fuck the whole idea of monarchy and aristocracy, ceremonial or not.
