New York is a city renown for its arts community and its tremendous artistic voice, except in the business arena. To move to Berlin or Chicago would be a major blow to the city in general. Why not move to urban Detroit, theres a town that needs some gentrification. Seriously here is an idea... Why not exercise some of the real power the art community has and make it a serious public issue. The art community needs to develop a real voice in the process. If the public doesn't care then you know the answer is to exit stage left to another city.
