Some of this is true, but the blame here goes to the idiot/creep/lowlife like Derek Ion who "managed" the space. Not having access to affordable housing doesn't excuse negligence and dicks like Derek try to line their pockets, however small the sums they skim. I've been in the bay area for 28 years and travel in the same circles as many of these folks and there are always scumballs looking to take advantage of others in the name of "art." The worst part is that other artists and collectives who do try to make their spaces safe and don't act like fucked up new age gurus are going to be the ones taking the brunt of this as it is characterized as a "rave" or some other such nonsense. Many of these art collectives are part of the gentrification process as early adopters and pave the way for others by "transforming" so-called "bad" neighborhoods into "safe" ones, which of course means white.
