OHNY: Flux Factory >> Living Room


We have wanted to participate in Open House New York (OHNY) but the past couple years did not work out. Yesterday we decided a bus tour put on by Flux Factory was too much to pass up. The tour was called Living Room and brought us to some great locations on a yellow school bus. The most amazing stop though was Flux Factory. Started by a group of philosophers it is an artist live/work space that excites the imagination. I'm both impressed with what they did and surprised that it seems such a rare occurance. Why are there not hundreds of communities like this given the high concentration of interest in the arts in the NYC area, the ridiculous cost of real estate, and the number of ware house type buildings?
