Well sure, if that's how you cherry pick your definition of reality. But the vast majority of NYC neighborhoods are nothing like you describe.

Completely untrue. You sound like somebody who’s only seen New York in movies.

Born here, Ma'am. I'm quite familiar with the pollution and lack of gardens and nature predominating most parts of the city. Apparently someone advocating for quality of life is triggering for you.

Nah just peeved and skeptical of anyone who trashes my city while ludicrously yearning for an imaginary pre-capitalist 17th century utopia under the auspices of the colonial Dutch, who literally invented capitalism, largely in New Amsterdam and at that exact moment in history, and also claims NYC has no green space when it has over 7,000 square feet of parks and green space per capita, the most for any North American city with over 3 million people.

I’m sorry you hate it here to much. Leave.

No I love NY. It's ok to be realisticly critical about a place you love. Your logical fallacies are showing btw. Someone got a solid B+ in statistical manipulation, kudos. I could point to a neighborhood with zero green space and you would say, with a straight face, that per capita it's actually very green despite the lack of green. Nice lying, you have a real gift.

You’re not being realistically critical and I’ve told you why. You’re suggesting that you can rebut empiric evidence with your opinion, and I’m afraid that’s not how it works.

You’re a disgruntled Marxist with an axe to grind and you’re annoyed when your sweepingly hyperbolic, ahistorical, and entirely made-up statements are challenged. There are plenty of places where you can get away with that kind of thing but this isn’t one of them.

Yeah enjoy fighting against the character you made up.

I’m just here to tell you you’re objectively wrong about green space nyc and that you have some frankly hilariously deranged ideas about the way Dutch colonies were run.
