I started out doing graphic design and ended up as a client account rep. Somewhere along the line, the creative aspects dwindled away, but I liked the people I was working with. I’m no longer crunching Excel spreadsheets and generating mindless PowerPoint presentations for weeks on end for shitty pay, and my soul feels better as a result.

So after a month and a half of searching craigslist and meeting brokers, I finally found somewhere to live. It’s not exactly a loft, but even better. I found a storefront apartment in Brooklyn, in a somewhat quiet residential neighborohood. It’s still one large open space and is zoned commercial, so I want to use it to live in and host art openings/do my own work. At the same time, it’s not in the middle of some industrial wasteland, so I feel a sense of home here.

I’ve lived in NYC for 6 years and it’s pretty much standard to not own a car here- parking is rare and expensive, tickets are abundant and expensive, insurance is expensive, driving in the city pretty much sucks, and the buses, trains, subways and the rare taxi here and there are abundant, easy and cheap. So it’s pretty much a no-brainer. I’m pretty sure I’ll reach my goal to not own a car until I’m 30. Other cities to check out- Boston and Chicago – also possible to not own a car there relatively easily.
