It's entirely possible that you are right. But have you considered the possibility that it's you that's changed instead of or in addition to the city? I certainly don't go to the same type of parties I did when I first moved to the city and that was only a dozen years ago.
- busterarm 11y agoI've considered that but my circles are pretty wide and I've been thinking about this for a long time and going out and verifying (asking absolutely everyone who will listen). Consensus seems to be that we're trending towards homogeny.
- cguess 11y agoI think you're probably right on this. I'm probably about a generation younger than the guy above you and I still see parties across the board. I've been with millionaires in Bushwick squats at avant-garde art shows and poor-as-s* immigrant artists in massively famous actor lofts. I'm a lower middle-class grandson of farmers and preachers, who's done OK for himself. I LOVE that New York lets me hang out with everyone without having to fake my way through any side. (There are exceptions, but the ultra-wealthy are annoying as hell, even if they do have the drugs, music, booze etc.)
