Reply to comment by George4Mayor86 in Opinion: New York finally has momentum on housing and it’s time for a breakthrough by King-of-New-York

Immigrants arriving in NYC have used it as a gateway to move on to the rest of the country after days, months, or years for as long as there has been a country.

Not everyone needs to live in NYC, not everyone gets to, not everyone can afford to, and so on. There are probably a billion people around the world who would rather live here than where they live. Should they all be crammed into the city?

When your entire personality is that you live in NYC, I suppose seeing other people live here makes you insecure.

You reek of insecurity. Anyways, I’m a NYC landlord and your attitude increases my profit margin, so thank you for that I guess LOL.

Not everyone needs to live in NYC, but the city should have the infrastructure to accommodate everyone that wants to.

Even if you’re a real estate developer shill, you have to acknowledge there is some sort of upper limit. The only thing we’re actually arguing about is what that limit is.
