The dictionary definition of bohemian is a gipsy, one who leads a free, irregular life, despising social convention.
As Brighton and Hove Council is fond of using the word bohemian in describing its plans for this town, its definition of bohemian and the reality are somewhat different.
By bohemian, does it mean drug addicts, beggars, drunks, homeless people, Big Issue sellers and buskers playing until the early hours of the morning?
If so, then yes, the council has truly created a bohemian town.
