I feel like I do hear little snatches of things through my wife's artist friends and various other random people I know and it's mostly like there's no one place anymore "I hear artists are moving to [Woodhaven, Jamaica, Brownsville, East New York, Maspeth, Glendale, Mill Basin, a tiny unnamed island off the southern coast of Long Island, a barge in the Hudson river, etc.]

are there 'cool neighborhoods' anywhere in america? is there some place where it's more fun to be a 20 y/o artist than the gentrifying edges of brooklyn at the moment? I feel like some combination of 'the internet' + all dense urban areas getting expensive/safer/'normal' in past decades has made this idea a bit archaic.

or rather they made the announcement that they would be closing the border. You would have time at least to make a decision if they announced it.

i'm not worried as much about 'shelter in place' as I am the risk of going anywhere even for authorized purposes, in my immunocompromised class.
― brooklyn suicide cult (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 17 March 2020 21:24 (four years ago) link
"shelter in place" is a terrible name for what the order actually means, at least the bay area version is. it's basically an enforced version of social distancing norms (essential businesses remain open, you can leave your apartment but can't congregate in groups, etc.)
― ooga booga-ing for the bourgeoisie (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 17 March 2020 23:04 (four years ago) link
of course, it has a name that immediately induces panic and thoughts like "oh god, is my apartment even shelter enough?"
