Artists need to move to small town Ontario with quaint main streets and red brick detached houses with wrap-around porches you can get for $200k.  Pretty soon, someone will open an independent coffee shop you can hang out in.  Then some of your musician friends will start to hang out there and someone will open an alternative venue where they can play and pretty soon, you'll have a "scene." And finally someone will notice the "scene" and set up their tech start-up there.  Of course, you'll need a much better recycling/composting program and an up-gunned arts program at the high school so pretty soon the people who lived there before you won't be able to afford their property tax and will have to move to even smaller-town Ontario and sell their houses to the band-wagon jumpers who want to hang out in your "scene" with the cool kids.  And when your kids can't afford to live there, there's always that smaller town up the highway...

Or we could all just stop procreating.
