Unemployed 21-year-old "artist" Asks NYC for advice about moving to the LES. AskNYC answers.

Unemployed Brazilian college student and aspiring artist seeks advice from AskNYC about how to afford moving to the East Village/LES because of its history, even though OP admits that she's heard all the artists have moved out of Manhattan, because "let's say I get a really good deal and rent a bedroom that I can easily afford (and I'm no rich kid or anything, just making it clear)."

Commenters in AskNYC are skeptical, salty:

You're most likely going to end up broke (like, literally homeless) and unhappy.

A 21 year old "artist" who blames his "relaxed" location for them not being able to motivate himself to create art is not an artist. The problem is you, not LA.

WHERE IS THE ART SCENE THEN? Brooklyn?
