Half of New York City residents say they are struggling economically, making ends meet just barely, if at all, and most feel sharp uncertainty about the future of the cityâs next generation, a new poll shows.

Let's here it for gentrification, the white version of the reconquista. Expensive way to do it, though.
“here” = hear
Sorry about the typo
7th Avenue became the most expensive street in the world for 2015. How could this be> (s/)
“Theyâve elected a communist mayor; what else is left for them to do?”
EAT IT, PEOPLE!
;^)
Nothing keeping them there.
Can always move to Nebraska and farm.
But that would be work, now wouldn’t it?
“Half of New York City residents say they are struggling economically, making ends meet just barely, if at all,”
Time to raise taxes and the minimum wage!
Repeat repeatedly.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD! this is what you get when you have a progressive parasite in the office of mayor who want s all the syrian refugees to come to ny. The idiot held up a picture of the washed up child and sez the republicans want to stop this, we are governed by despicable humans that were voted in by YOU
Well, as someone who was pushed out of a wonderful NJ town through gentrification (a gorgeous old Victorian town that had turned the old hotels into section 8s), I’m a little bitter. We were pioneers, bringing back our home, fighting off criminals and drug addicts and then the NYTimes noticed us and NYers invaded. (Even though we were NYers.) My taxes doubled, my condo’s maintenance skyrocketed, and we suddenly were running out of money to live. So it’s a two-edge sword.
Today, that little town is run by gay men and lesbians who fight with everyone - their neighbors, the local government and anyone who doesn’t believe that the gay flag needs to fly on the beach.
Sad.
New York is bad and going to get worse when we don’t send money for reconstruction of something or other damaged by ISIS
I was paying $1,000 a month on Ave C and 9th St back in 1991.
My buddy bought a nice one bedroom with outside terrace on 14th between first and second for $65,000 back in 87.
Worth close to a million now.
Paul Harvey once threw in one of his little one-second quips:
"Just think... there are people who live their entire lives in New York City, and then, when they die, go to Hell."
Move to a park bench, and buy a New York Times for comfort and cover.
New York City residents "not getting by"?These schmucks always vote overwhelmingly democrat.
So, as long as the Obamas, the Cuomos, the deBlasios and other politicians are doing well what does it matter?
Yeah. Hard to get by in $100,000 per year.
Might want to whine to the under 30 crowd that thinks Communism is a great idea!!!!!
That sounds odd coming from somebody who lives in Alaska.
Alaska is a beautiful place. And I have much more freedom there. Try walking in New York with an AR-15 slung from your shoulder. Or even a pistol strapped to your side. At least I can defend myself in Alaska. And now that I'm retired, I can spend winters in my Arizona home.
Bringing back the tenements, like good liberals
Insane
It’s not much better in L.A. I feel for you, NY. It’s a beautiful city, a showcase for our country. But run by libs, cities (and states) are unsustainable.
