Co-living as a possibility for emerging artists in Los Angeles
The goal of this thesis is to gain a better understanding of the fundamentals of co-living and community. I will use Upstart as my case study to then further research the effects of co-living and if emerging artists moving into Upstart might benefit from it. This study will research both the perspective of the members as well as the founder. As more peo-ple move to Los Angeles chasing their dreams, a co-living place like Upstart could be a great option for emerging artists to live in. But what is it really like to be a part of such a community, and is it beneficial? This study is a case study that will use both quantitative and qualitative research methods, as well as ethnography. I will use literature to research the three phenomena’s – co-living, urban development as well as community. This will support the empirical evidence gathered through both interviews with members and the founder as well as a electronic questionnaire. The results of this research will give a clear understanding of how co-living works, and the community that comes with it. Moving to a new city like Los Angeles where the rent is high and finding a community of friends can be hard, Upstart provides affordable housing with perks. As it is geared towards artists and creative individuals, the amenities that come with the membership are very valuable. To really understand if this could be the new way of living for emerging artists moving to a new city like Los Angeles.
