As someone who is really into artsy stuff, that scene is dead in SF. Seattle, too. A whiff of tech or electricity, and you'll be ostracized in a flash.

But them's the breaks...people in the PNW are indifferent to the point of cruelty, on the off chance that they aren't being extremely hostile for the hell of it. Sorry, but I disagree. Wanting to stay is very crazy. If I got evicted, I'd give a week's notice and take the opportunity to pack a U-haul and leave for greener pastures. What is it with people being content where they are, even when it's a creatively destitute skidrow? Not that I'm one to talk...
