There is no difference in kind between two hungry IT students developing better web search, and several hungry artists developing awesome dungeon of animatronics. Either start off poor, but once they get major traction, the money starts rolling in. Of course, the web search scales faster, but that's about it.
Point being, the artists' den would become expensive bohemian district of the city anyway, startups or not, as "new money" people learn of it and start moving in to bask in the splendor of the underground culture. Eventually pricing out the actual artists.
- 738472527784 8y agoAre you saying any economically successful person is an artist, contributes to society and culture as art does? Are you saying, some billions heavy foreign company should have the same "right" to influence a region as a local art collective has? Because they are basically the same? Are you serious?
