They built a "seniors artists colony" in Burbank....and said there was high demand, etc. Still a lot of empty units. I am beginning to think it was just creative marketing to get something rushed through the development process.
I live in Ventura and have decided it is a discriminatory plan in that only artists will be able to occupy the federally subsidized low income housing spaces. Self employed people make or break their careers by their talent and ambition. Since when is federal and state and city subsidy an acceptable substitute income? Low income housing has always been reserved for those drawing a salary from someone else that is below average through no fault of their own. An artist is totally in control of their success or failure.
