Parental Lifelines, Frayed to Breaking (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/08/nyregion/08trustafarians.html?_r=5) (NYT)
Famed for its concentration of heavily subsidized 20-something residents — also nicknamed trust-funders or trustafarians — Williamsburg is showing signs of trouble. Parents whose money helped fuel one of the city’s most radical gentrifications in recent years have stopped buying their children new luxury condos, subsidizing rents and providing cash to spend at Bedford Avenue’s boutiques and coffee houses.
I like that trustafarians is actually in the URL.
