New York is going to implode soon - higher taxes on the way for already high taxes, outrageous housing costs ($3000/month for a studio), crime on the upswing...
Anyone the the middle class ($30,000 - $250,000) literally can not afford to live there and will leave eventually.
The extreme poor and the billionaires will be left...

NYC, considered a "Member's Only" like other places like California, Connecticut. Only the elite and executives can live well, all others are required to struggle.

Outrageous costs of living has driven a lot of people away in the past few years but a coming crime wave will rid the place of a lot more people. I'm not from there but NYC seems to have these cyles of crime every 20 years or so, and they are about due.
