Artist studios in Brick Alley provided cheap space for creativity. Now they’re being cleared for luxury development

Brick Alley Studios – Cyndi on Artists and Displacement
The artist studios are closing. Developers want the space. Artists can’t afford to stay. See Cyndi Himmelstiere’s documentation of how neighborhoods lose their character.
This is how gentrification works: artists make a neighborhood valuable, then are priced out by the value they created.
I visited a closing studio. The artist had two months to leave. The space would become luxury lofts at triple the rent.
