Let’s say you are a starving artist who lives in New York City, needless to say it is hard to survive. With rent so high, there is almost nothing left to do but start the Bushwick artist colony, otherwise known as the hipster trailer park.

The park is going to be ready in Spring 2010, but for $590 USD you to can get a [one person trailer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boxabl-baby-box), access to a [dark room, wood shop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/154-scott) and other artsy stuff. There are two main draw backs to the Bushwick artist colony: you have to apply to live there and you will be living with most pretentious hipsters known to man. Good luck.
