NYC is so expensive, a new report shows that 78,000 have left the city in the past year, and that half of families rely on assistance programs to make it. This is very sad, but it seems like nothing is being done to address the middle class's needs. What do you think?

    Now you’re starting to get it. No politician that you voted for cares about you. Homelessness is big business for them.
  • @heypistolero
    Once you start to realize this is all by design, and not just incompetence, everything begins to make sense.

    Imagine a regular closet apartment one day costing $7k a month 💀

    I grew up in NYC, and I had to leave in my early 30s because I couldn't afford a family if I had stayed. I had to move away to Texas with my wife, and now we have 3 kids. I won't be going back.

    “There’s more products locked up in this city than criminals.” 😱 that’s a great line.
  • Ladies and gentlemen…if you’re riding the subway, get yourselves a can of hornet and wasp spray, the kind that sprays 20-30 ft. or so. Keep it in your large messenger bags. Keep the receipt in somewhere with your books or wallet so when the police question you about the spray you say you just forget you had the spray and receipt still with you. You remembered you still had the spray when you were being attacked and used it to defend yourself by spraying it into your attacker’s eyes so you could get away.
  • In Spanish Harlem, old tenement buildings are now charging $3,500 a month for a two-bedroom apartment...across the street from the projects. This is unsustainable.
  • Welcome to California with colder weather. We're just like this. Our (idiotic) policies created a rich-poor society. It's dreadful.
  • @JR-gp2zk
    Same in California. LA spends $607,000,000 a year on homelessness. That money is going to salaries, contractors, non profits,etc. If homelessness is magically fix tomorrow, a lot of people lose their high paying job.

    I’ve watched this man go from optimistic about NYC, grieved about NYC, annoyed about the politicians, and now being disillusioned that the politicians are corrupt and doing this on purpose. This is a great documentary.
  • @Hangs4Fun
    blah, blah, blah, and yet New Yorkers will STILL vote for the same BS to happen again. It's truly hard to feel sorry for them.

    My aunt has lived in upper manhattan for 53 years. She pays 500 a month for pretty big apartment but she has lived there since 1972

    Cash I swear you should run for mayor. Your perspective is sharp, clear, and not entirely without hope. Your ideas are great and doable.
  • @leomoon9310
    The irony about all this, is that the people who are most affected by this situation are the people who keep electing those who are pushing them out.
  • @MrMark1n1
    The people in charge don’t care because they aren’t the ones struggling to feed and support their families

    A quote from Escaping the Madhouse: The Nellie Bly Story, “They say there’s more money in New York City than there’s ever been anywhere else in the whole world. But how can that be? Most of us don’t even have a pot to piddle in.”
