bullshit. actually i read this awesome sociology/history paper on the history of the nyc art scene like a year ago, it told how some mayor actually gave subsidies for artists to move into lofts in manhattan to try to save the property values etc. the nyc "art community" was no accident it was socially engineering by the government by way of tax breaks, really disillusioned me, artists are just pawns of the rich

$600 is a fucking steal. If you still can't afford it split the rent with a room mate, you dip.

>Not anywhere else
Then don't live in NYC.

>regular source of income (something most budding artists wont have)
what the fuck kind of bizarro world do you live in. artists have jobs. if they can't afford super cheap rent how are these artists of yours supposed to pay for paint, brushes, spray cans, canvas, sponges, wood and iron materials etc etc.

it's like you have a fantasy of what an artist should be, and it doesn't make sense to you (because it doesn't make sense in real life)

I'd rather hang out with regular working class men.

Those "literary" types are usually annoying tossers. I don't want to talk about literature with other people 99% of the time. I just want to bant about stupid shit to forget it all for a little while.
