Why....are these folks getting a break?
A rather pleasant ruse to force taxpayers to pay for a permanent Democrat voting majority.
Even better, they get federal money to exclude people.
Thought that was called segregation and discrimination in housing.
They run the scam here in California: The Tannery in Santa Cruz is just a flophouse for the supporters of the local Rat machine. The “artists” can qualify with crayon pictures. One of the “artists” kidz raped and murdered one of the girls in the complex, dumped her in a dumpster. He goes on trial this week.
Great use of tax dollars, huh?
Was it in Oakland, CA, recently, that an artists’ hive worked out so well?
affordable housing = somebody else pays
I’m an artist too. I can spell my name in the snow. Cursive no less. Big letters.
I wish I could do art, but I have been cursed with actual useful skills that contribute in their small way to the advancement of human knowledge. But feel free to tax the f$&&)( out of my labor to pay people to create something that nobody in the real world just do not value enough to pay for.
Didn't turn out so well

Yes, it’s very important that America’s cities keep their artists! Because that’s the main problem facing those cities. They don’t have enough artists!
State and local governments provide lots of incentives to businesses to locate in their jurisdiction with they hope that their presence will lead to higher employment and higher tax revenues.
Those incentives are always a bad idea.
Incentives are always a bad idea if they are for an Apple campus, a Ford auto factory or a community for artists.
> Those incentives are always a bad idea. <
Right you are. Studies have shown that these incentives don’t bring any new money in. All they do is shuffle around the money that is already there.
But don’t bother telling that to the Central Planners. They know everything.
I can't visualize Jack Kerouac or Jackson Pollock living and working in the Bell Artspace Campus. But if a person can qualify by calling themselves an artist the place will fill up fast.
I’m an artist also. I work in various mediums such as ruby, java, CSS, JSON, etc. Where’s my subsidy.
In yellow ink?

Because the world can’t have enough smear-chocolate-on-their-bodies Lesbos.
You’re in!
Actually, since they accepted federal tax dollars to build the place, they have to accept any “qualified” applicant - i.e. Section 8 qualified.
They didn’t talk about that. But all the deadbeats heard about it. They actually would administer the art test to them, but it didn’t matter. They had to be let in.
So 30% of their “art colony” is actually just the usual parasite class: being subsidized to live on the beach.
Uh...no. In order to get section 8 around here, the place is inspected (by the local government, not the feds). I’ve got a rental house - it could probably pass although I haven’t tried.
However prior to my looking at the forms it could not have passed (no keyed deadbolts, must have bathroom fan)...I think there were a few others as well.
