New York, New York (First Reading Assignment)

Hey everyone. Ok, so here is our first reading/conversation topic for next wednesday.

What does it mean to move to New York as an artist/designer/creative entrepreneur? David Byrne of Talking Heads fame had this to say last year: "If the 1% stifles New York's creative talent, I'm out of here" The article is just one opinion in a long conversation that has been going on for years, but which is really coming to a head.

Here is another recent article on the matter in Bloomberg News, and I'm sure if anyone wanted to do a little digging, you could find lot's more.
