It’s definitely more in keeping with gay culture today. Back in the 1970s when Saint Jacques emerged as a gay village, gay life was much seedier and underground – porno stores, saunas where men had group sex, exotic drugs, clubs/bars as your social centers, etc. The Saint Jacques village fit like a glove for that iteration of the culture. Nowadays, the culture is mainstream and online, and the consumption patterns track with basically just your (mid/late) twenty-something or thirty-something existence in perpetuity, without any risk of knocking someone up and destroying your life with kids. That’s Mile End, baby.
