Reply to comment by TheAJx in Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens lost more people in fiscal 2022 by madrid987

Population count is not the same as well in a borough. Brooklyn is the largest borough but Manhattan has the most millionaires in billionaires. Not working in an office in Manhattan is not the reason why people in Brooklyn and Queens are having issues affording to live here.

Fewer job opportunities obviously affects affordability. There are two sides to the equation. The cost of living and the income to live there.

Fewer job opportunities where? In Manhattan? Where people being paid minimum wage are paying $2.75 minimum each way to commute from outer boroughs? To make rent for apartments that don't exist in their price range?

Okay, if the job opportunities in Manhattan are so awful, why aren't they finding equivalent job opportunities in the outer boroughs and continuing to live there?
