'Trust fund hipsters' invade Los Angeles Latino community, residents fight back

The Elysian Valley Riverside Neighborhood, a working-class community with a large Latino population, criticized the Frogtown Flea Crawl event for bringing in hundreds of "trust fund hipsters" who have "created traffic jams, blocked driveways, left behind trash and even urinated in public," according to the Los Angeles Times.

Neighborhood Council President Arturo Gomez told the LA Times that people who attend the event "exhibit an attitude of entitlement that this neighborhood is for people who want to treat it like a playground, as opposed to the people living here just trying to live their lives."
