Wikipedia:

Much like Soho before it, Station North is rapidly becoming less a center for arts and creativity, and more a trendy, gentrified neighborhood of non-artists. The City of Baltimore has consistently up-marketed Station North as an "artsy" locale; however no provisions exist for low-cost artist's housing or residencies. Artists who have lived in the in the neighborhood for years before the official designation have hardly ever been consulted, recognized or subsidized by the city that has cashed in on their cachet.
