English term or phrase: was paradise for the disenfranchised
Fortunately, what had become a citywide depression by the 1970s was paradise for the disenfranchised.
In addition to more and more incoming immigrants from the Caribbean and South America, the LGBT, writer and artist communities found plenty of opportunity to live and work on the cheap, as did photographers looking for cheap modeling locales and television series producers and filmmakers.

Muchas gracias por la ayuda!
