It seems a little unusual to see a "residency" which makes you pay for housing ($2400 / month).

Is it unfair to assume they're having trouble paying rent at the Topos house?

Thanks for raising that question. Actually the house was rented for the purpose of hosting the program, not the other way around.

Of course we're trying not to operate at a loss, but we're willing to accept that if necessary to accomplish the stated goals.

From the CFP I got the impression that the residency is hosted in the same place you all are currently living:

>live for four months in a 10,000 ft² mansion in San Francisco (of which the organizers are long-term residents)

Is that not the case?

Part of starting this was finding a place and moving in.
