Artists move into $61 million Ventura housing complex  The
“Wave” is open.  The first of dozens of artists last week moved
their photography equipment, potter’s wheels, paints and easels
— along with their belongings — into the Working Artists Ventura
community, officially opening what Ventura city officials
consider one of their most important projects in a decade.  Six
stories high in some spots, the $61 million WAV, pronounced
“wave,” project will offer 54 affordable live-work units for
artists and their families, 15 apartments for people facing
severe poverty and trying to end their homelessness, and 13
ocean-facing, market-rate condominiums.  Spanning nearly 3
acres, the center has a 99-seat theater-gallery, parkland, arts-
related commercial space and a small parking garage. Low-flow
toilets sit in each bathroom, and rooftop solar panels shaped in
the form of a wave are expected to harness enough energy to
power the complex and add electricity to the regional grid.  For
