I can see Landport turning super edgy, cheap rent and young artist types moving in.

I suspect the hordes of young, affluent, hipster types might be a touch put off when they hear that Landport kids are regularly chucking bricks through the windows of Pells school or see the trail of broken off wing mirrors across the estate on a Saturday and Sunday mornings after the pub crowd have made their way home the night before.

Rent not particularly cheap in Landport - Hastings is where the trendies are heading - they�ve got a pirate day too

well, i guess it was like that in East London or Margate as well before the artists moved in.

'Artist types'... usually people who like being thought of as 'creative' but in reality create nothing but simply consume.

Just why does Landport come in for such dislike ?

Some people have loads of money (for no apparent reason). If you aren�t comfortable being seen as rich, a person of leisure or a playboy etc then you need to validate yourself with a purpose, a job, or a career. As a real job would entail actually working and commuting which would be unacceptable, you are left with few �career� choices. What better profession fits the bill as �an artist�. Perfect. You can do bugger all, sit in Flint Owl all day getting inspired, waft around private views of an evening mixing with like minded �artists�. Nice.
As a caveat, there are many true artists around here which you seldom see because they are grafting away trying to make ends meet and don�t have time for �inspiration seeking� activities.
