This article highlights, I think, the two coin-sides of the artist housing issue. On one hand, because of their position in the urban economy, artists often are forced to live and work in unheathful, dangerous, even squalid conditions. I've been to such places--that often fall into one zoning gray area or another--in multiple cities around the country. One could applaud the authorities who condemned the building as giving life to the arts by preserving these creative people's health and safety. On the other hand, if artists didn't have such places to live and work, many would be unable to continue on their careers. So artists likely have cause to complain whenever they have the artist live/work space rug pulled out from under them (either by well-meaning health and safety officials or by economic forces).
