live-work loft 

An apartment constructed in pseudo-industrial architectural style that lacks interior walls, doesn't meet residential building codes, doesn't pay property taxes, and brings suburban yuppies into the city where they drive noisy nightclubs out of commerically zoned neighborhoods.

The rents on those new live-work lofts downtown are outrageous! It must be all the kickbacks for Da Mayor.
