Vampire Weekend’s discography is the official soundtrack of gentrification  

Fingers crossed! It’s SO much more efficient than suburban sprawl. Space is precious here. We’ve just got to do better at this density thing.

If I told you that there was a thing you needed to buy in order to stay alive and well, but it was super expensive, you’d need to take out massive, long-term loans in order to pay for it, and its value would naturally go down over time, you’d probably think this was crazy and ask me why it had to be so expensive in…
