It just boggles me that people actually want to live there. Not even a seven figure income would get me to move there.

The chinese are busy taking over SF. "Like other Chinatown districts in American cities, the Chinatown neighborhood of Manhattan is an ethnic enclave with a large population of Chinese immigrants. By the 1980s, it had surpassed San Francisco's Chinatown to become the largest enclave of Chinese immigrants in the Western hemisphere, but in the last few years it too has been outgrown by the lesser-known but larger New York City Chinatown community in nearby Flushing, Queens."

NEW YORK: The number of residents in the city could put such a strain on its infrastructure by 2030 that the demand for power exceeds the supply, housing becomes scarce and rush hour lasts all day because of an overwhelmed transit network.

The city will need to accommodate its booming population with thousands more units of affordable housing. More than a third of city renters already spend more than half their income on rent, the group said.

That's my thought, too. Upstate doesn't want them for good reason.

Looks to me like another of those bogus straight-line projections that ignores limiting factors.
"The baby's temperature shot up from 98.6 to 103 in the last two hours. At this rate, in a month he'll be as hot as the surface of the sun."
