So what is called "creative class" in the article promptly becomes "hipsters" in the HN comment section. And yes we already have the first comment calling for killing them.

It is pretty easy to explain. Unattractive building in low-prestige neighborhoods are cheaper. If you don't care about conventional prestige and comfort you get more bang for the buck. If you want to predict what areas becomes "cool" next, just look at where prices are going down.
Explaining it all due to "fashion" is putting the cart before the horse.
