I grew up in NYC. It has not been an artsy city for decades. Artists generally cannot afford it. Now they can barely afford the Hudson Valley.

Sad fact of life I don't think anywhere is really viable for artists anymore I mean unless you're living at home with parents in the suburbs?! lol
I'm the metros it's all $$ and even in suburbs that are nice, still $$..
The standard of living makes it impossible to actually be an artist never mind AI and all the zillions of things that make art obsolete.

Isn't Mamdani supposed to make things better for those who are not wealthy?
Wow, your expectations are very high for a guy that was just elected. The guy has decades of corruption to unwind.

Well Mamdani hasn’t started yet but I’m sure once he’s been there for a day, we can start blaming him! Probably also for the shooting in Sydney too, right?
