When someone tells you they live in East Williamsburg or Bushwick there’s a good chance you picture them livin’ it up in a loft. You may imagine big open windows, rustic wood floors or beds in da sky. Renee Ligtvoet and I scoped a bunch of different lofts and met the people behind them. Check out what this life means for them in this first installment of BUSHWICK CRIBZ.

Hart Street Lofts

First we stopped by Hart Street. Ruth and Gio, both writers, live in one of those cray-cray situations where the owner done effed up and didn’t convert it into a residential establishment in time for the rent boom of Bushwick, so thanks to the iron fist of NYHA, they pay an enviously low amount of $1200 for their beauty of a 900 square ft. spot.
