Open House Picks

Actually, 12:36 and 12:22, some of those remaining “creatives” are folks who were desperate and/or creative enough to buy in Bklyn 15 yrs ago and more; they’re neither independently wealthy nor living like they’re in college. On the contrary, some of us are living very comfortably in our own restored brownstones with paid-off mortgages – painting, writing, and making music while we thank whatever gods may be for whatever induced us to buy long before hedge funds were invented. In my case, it was the landlord from hell; and not a day goes by but I don’t think fondly of the SOB, because without him, I’d still be holed up in a tiny rent stabilized apt in Manhattan. Thanks again, Mr. R.!

And all of NYC lost/continues to lose people considered to be in “creative” professions, i.e., artists, architects, designers, etc., because, duh, property costs are high compared to salaries in these fields. I have no energy to google the report, but you’ll find it. Something about NYC losing its “creative class”. This was a big deal when the report came out this year. And those “creatives” that stay are either independently wealthy or will continue to live as though they’re in college, well into their 50s.
