Here's a survey by city staff who are apparently crowdsourcing artist/workspace data as it intersects with gentrifying cost of living and cost of workspaces (but not obvious demographic factors like race). I'm not sure what exactly this will accomplish since the damage is already pretty deep, but there's a section at the end where you can directly share your thoughts with the city staff running the survey. I really let them have it!! :]
