ok, so essentially the point is that "bohemia" really only arises out of the cyclical, symbiotic exchange between the lower east siders (i would argue the true, or at least original and unadulterated, bohemians) and the elite bohemians (the slummers, day-trippers, hangers-on, and the ilk). Also, each individual component of the two categories isn't encircled by bohemia because alone they aren't anything notable.

also, the quasi-connection that jewish immigrants have with the two bohemian categories is indicative of their somewhat bridging function in this whole mess.
