Just so everyone not from Austin understands this. There is 6th street, but it has two parts. You have west 6th, which goes from Congress to Lamar and then you have "dirty" 6th which goes from Congress to I-35. But you NEVER want to hang out around I-35 after dark for the reasons shown in this video. You see the type of low life scum that hangs out there. Not worth it.
The reason these hipsters were there is because they probably live east of I-35. Used to be (and still is actually) a bad part of town. However, now the "white folk" are moving in because the location is actually good. You're close to downtown, close to the action and it's somewhat affordable still. Problem is, now you're mixing people with money with ghetto people. It's not always pretty, and these just figured that out on their own.
My take? It'll be cleaned up in a decade or less.
