San Francisco is investing in its arts community. Starting in May, 130 local artists in the city will receive $1,000 per month in cash, with no strings attached.

The pilot program in universal basic income is scheduled to last for six months, according to The San Francisco Chronicle. The artists will be selected from those “whose artistic practice is rooted in a historically marginalized community.”

A thousand dollars per month will pay perhaps a few days room and board in that artificially inflated city.

This is what I don’t understand. A thousand dollars in Mississippi would cover all your basic expenses (as long as you didn’t drink, smoke, or delight in luxury....or have a high-maintenance woman).

In SF, it might last you five days. Are these guys even comprehending the cost of living?

As long as their art is insulting and profane or blasphemous.

I did a zillow and craigslist search on apts and shares just to see. On the cheap side of the spectrum, a studio or room in a private home can be had for around $800-$1000/ a one bedroom miniapartment for about 1100-1500, split two ways isn’t bad. Don’t forget these folks have other income besides the free money. SF isn’t giving it to welfare or social security people - it’s going to cronies.

Let me guess, an “artist” is someone who sprays gang graffiti everywhere.

Hey SF, I’m so “marginalized” as an artist I can’t even afford to live there or show my work there. Contact me for my actual address and where you can send my $6000.

I had to go there for business a few years ago and the hotel I was staying in charged me 85.00 a day just to park. It’s insane there!

I’m guessing anti Christian artists get bonus pay for preferred subject matter.This is cancel culture of true art. Soon all art will be similar.

Since they can legally steal up to $900 a month in SF doesn’t that factor into the monthly earnings?

Considering we live in a sue happy country I’m surprised these types of racist programs and cities haven’t been sued to hell yet.
