As long as we are speaking of definitions and not political choices...
(from the linked article)Creative-class members want not just decent jobs and good schools but "authentic" neighborhoods, Thai food, a happening arts scene, and -- most importantly -- proximity to other "creatives."
This defines *yuppies on the lower rungs of the ladder, not the creative side of the 'arts scene' (other than "proximity")(IMHO), and certainly not people that are creative (IMNSHO). This describes consumers. Creatives aren't defined by what they consume.
Quite a transparent attempt to niche(sic) into a profitable definition... or at least make a definition that a large number of the *public can/want to accept.
