Commodify Your Bohemian Vibe

There is only a limited supply of bohemian vibes, and are the subject of a "grassroots marketing campaign":

Anyone who steps foot into the artsy community of Georgetown knows that it walks to the beat of its own bohemian marching band. The new Georgetown Lofts, developed by Murray Kahn of Gordian Development, at 6708 Corson Ave. South, is no different. Comprising five, two-bedroom lofts -- priced from the 300,000s -- these offer loft-like living with an edgy, "distinctly Georgetown" vibe...

Kahn is working with ek Real Estate Group to create a marketing campaign that will engage the community and draw others to it. ek Real Estate's Larry Wilcynski, listing agent for Georgetown Lofts, says, "Our grassroots marketing campaign incorporates and supports local merchants every step of the way... Georgetown Lofts will continue to engage residents and community leaders such as the Georgetown Merchants Associations.

Just think: for $365,000 or more, one can purchase their very own piece of neighborhood soul. Who ever thought that being a part of culture could be so easy? Quartz slab counter tops will never go out of style.

Ah Conquistador
Is it only gold you're looking for?
Or may you still yet see, the treasure long concealed within me?

Ah Conquistador
Campaigns you waged to win the war
To gain the world and lose your soul, what were you fighting for?

Ah Conquistador
Is it only gold you're looking for?
And can you still not see, the treasure long concealed within me?

Ah Conquistador
Who plundered paradise and more?
To gain the world but lose your soul, por que Conquistador?

Ah Conquistador
Enslaved in chains you never saw
You who were meant to live so free

Ah Conquistador
Is it only gold you're searching for?
And can you still not see the treasure long concealed within me?

But what if I don't want one of those POS "loft" condo thingies but still want to move into the area? Suggestions?
