Exactly. Wealthy residents should at some point realize that culture and entertainment venues/options are (often) created by lower income residents. If that disappears you get soulless places which are dramatically less fun to live in. Not to mention the service industry workers, who also need to come from somewhere.

How simple. Have any suggestions for implementation?

You can get all that online. So it might make sense to move these communities to somewhere very very cheap. Or even distribute them around.

That's a pretty grim scenario to imagine. Art and artists 'moved' off somewhere, while the putatively rich consume their produce through screens. All so real estate prices can climb higher?

Tell me you haven’t attended an artist commune without telling me you haven’t attended an artist commune. There’s very little like seeing someone’s performance art in person, or walking through an art installation with other artsy friends, or attending a workshop (the fees paying local artists).

[kristjansson]

Not even so esoteric as communes and performance art! Even 'normal' galleries, theater, music, are inherently analogue, physical experiences that don't translate to digital reproduction.

Ah yes let’s go to each other’s massive meta verse homes (we all really live in those cell room apartments) to view NFT galleries.

Yeah lol, all these people think we are gonna do it online. Nobody wants to waste their life looking at that stuff for entertainment

My wife and I watched Chris Rock from the front row at the Comedy Cellar last summer. Total cost was like $75 with drinks. Absolutely incredible. I could watch every incredible stand up special available online and it wouldnt be anywhere close to that in person experience.

The big guys tour. It's the little guys that are interesting....

He was performing at the comedy cellar unannounced to a 50 person room...

>You can get all that online.

No, you can't.

If they could get it online, they wouldn't be bothering to pay the premium to live in Manhattan.

Isn't it known as Tiktok?
