Comraderie
Inspiration
Affordable Housing

I realize this question's been asked many-a-time before.
But what i've read, there doesn't seem to be must consensus of, perhap's the epicenter('s) of the three *.
I'm thinking of a place like the San Fransisco and Greenwhich Village of the 60's, which now, while perhap's still having inspiration; lack the affordable housing.
And I know bohemian is the word, yet seem's to be misinterpreted as a place that still exist's in changing city's.


From reading and my own consensus, there's two point's i'd like spoken of:
1) Which city or city's are the epicenter of this (the top) in the US?
And assuming it does not exist,
2) What location('s) in each city/state has one - to, at least, fill out what is there.

If any person has any tip's, then i'd be happy to hear; but prefer it be kept from the discussion.





The similar look isn't essential (although culture help's), but the energy, I believe, to remain similar.

For what it's worth, Nebraska is the epicenter of Bohemian ancestry in the US. 5.5% of Nebraskans identify themselves as Czech (Bohemian) ancestry, more than double that of any other state. But Texas has the largest number of Czechs (200,000), and 20 of America's 30 annual Czech festivals take place in Texas towns.

Yes, I know it's not what you're looking for, but I'm phishing for the most-informative-poster award.

I'm not totally clear on the question, but maybe Austin?

I'm thinking Portland or Asheville might do as well. Boulder would be included if it weren't so pricey.

LA is first on this list from the Atlantic. com, then NY , Vancouver.

Not sure how they got DC on there at all, lol.

Bohemian Index - Richard Florida - National - The Atlantic

Some of the bottom ten are Charlotte, Jacksonville and San Antonio.

Funny that the bottom city and top city are in the same CSA.
