Where can you still find bohemia in America? [View all]

In my area, all the hipster bohemian free thinkers seem to work for banks and earn high five figures. (They can afford to drive Priuses!) Where in America is there still authentic Bohemia? If I wanted to emerge myself in it, where would I go?

I used to live in New York and the new hotspot was DUMBO, which is in Brooklyn. However it seems that condos are going up like mad.

Never been to Seattle but I'm wondering if it's all condos and Starbucks.
