Who's claiming to be an expert on NYC politics? I'm saying I don't see how the guy can win a re-election he's getting blasted all over the place. Frankly I don't care if NYC keeps him or votes him out I just find it amusing.

You don't have to be living in NYC, or be a so called: "NYC expert" (as you like to call it) to know how bad things are there with taxes and living costs. A lot of that data and information can be easily accessed just by doing a simple web search. And it's all available to the public. If there are any people from NYC who are living there at the moment, please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Just no "Ad Hominem" attacks/arguments please.
Quote:The reason for the high cost of living in NYC is simply supply and demand. People want to live there. So much so that residential real estate in Manhattan is selling at record levels.I never said NYC was a terrible place to live in. I only mentioned the current situation there between the protesters, De Blassio, and the police. Don't try and gas-light me.

So, when you say, "oh New York City is such a terrible place, blah blah blah" you have no clue what you are talking about.

Quote:While true about parts of NYC hasn't the state of New York seen a massive loss in population as of late? I know Florida passed them recently. I know when I talk to people from New York they always mention the high cost of living and taxes as major factors for leaving.
Quote:No.
FL passed NY because FL is increasing in population faster, but NY is increasing in population, too.
Quote:So was it just a reduction in the growth rate?
Quote:So do you live in NYC, or are you just speaking out of your rear end?
Quote:Also, am I not allowed to talk about something because I don't live there?
Quote:If that's the case then Oklahomer shouldn't post on anything since he doesn't live on planet Earth.This is probably the best insult/comeback that I've ever read on here. This is a nominee for post of the year lol.
