What is Last Across The Plank'ers?
1.
New residents to a gentrified area who want gentrification to stop as soon they arrive, so that the neighborhood retains its pre-gentrification charm. Derivation: to pull up the plank after you cross, thus preventing further access.
Those last across the plank'ers are angry about all the new bars and condos going up in the lower east side.
