The average cost per square foot in Manhattan is the most expensive in the United States. Average monthly rent in the five boroughs is about $3K per month.
I was pointing out that many cops aren’t even voters in the city; they aren’t a key constituency in determining who will be the mayor of NYC.
Prices are high due to supply & demand (of space); it is no accident that in the larger scheme of things, Florida just passed New York in population. Eventually Wyoming will as well.
