Why would anyone who is poor live in NYC?
This is a serious question. Even if you are on welfare you are better off in someplace with a lower COST of living.
Twenty years ago I told a friend I wouldn’t move to New York City for a $100,000 a year job, and I would have to think long and hard about a $200,000 a year job. Of course, you may be thinking Manhatten. Remember there is Brooklyn, the Bronx and other areas.
i just don’t know how you’d make it there, poor. or why you’d stay.
