H8n' on Brooklyn

Seven years later (we can't wait for a more round 10? wtf?) the author of the infamous New York magazine article  is asked if he still hates Brooklyn:
Are there any recent developments in modern-day Brooklyn (the artisanal pickle craze, the predominance of food fairs, the Wythe?) that you would've scoffed at in 2005, but that your 2012 self can better appreciate?
All of it. For sure. The practitioners of these foodstuff trends are so self-parodying that it would be redundant to make fun of them. But I guess to be fair to my own point of view on this topic, that is the part of Brooklyn that I loathe the most: the whole twee/hipster/foodie aspect. But anything I have to say about it will surely taste like an old kale salad, no? Surely everyone we know feels this way. Right? Don't we?
Obviously, dude went out of his way to point out he's never, ever been to Williamsburg.
