The Rich and NYC
New York Magazine printed a solid article
on the economics of New York City and the influence of the
“super-rich”. In my own lifetime New York City has changed drastically.
It’s cleaner, safer, prettier, snottier etc… places within eyeshot of
Times Square that were little urban hell-holes now are inhabited by the
meritocratic gentry. Many of my friends have moved into the city
and even with the cost of living shooting up around them, are able to
keep up. They have access to theatre, to restaurants and to an endless
supply of other young people. After spending a good portion of my week
in the city, I can feel it pulling me out of my chair in Putnam county.
