4. Find a new city.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about a sense of place, home, community. The region I’ve called home all of my life, New Orleans and the Mississippi Gulf Coast, will be some of the first places affected as sea levels begin to rise.
Artist and author Austin Kleon wrote a great post awhile back advocating for young artists to move to the less trendy, cheaper places to live so that they can make more and do things their own way.
“The idea is that you live somewhere cheap, keep your overhead low, make whatever work you want to make, create your own scene. Nobody gets super-rich or super-famous, but dammit, they get to live their lives their own way, unbeholden to anybody.”
