While the policies may not be causative, the attitudes which allowed these bills to pass may have been present for much longer.

- VLM 11y agoGentrification pushes out poor people, therefore you can ban things poor people like without backlash, and naturally fewer poor people means fewer sick people, if most financial problems come from medical expenses and medical expenses mostly come from sickness, then making it hard for poor/bankrupt people to live there will naturally result in the remainder being healthier on average. I would theorize the demographics of NYC are anything but constant. Or it could be a bias toward authoritarianism naturally results in health, although the cause and effect on that one is a bit fuzzy. The obesity rate in NYC is about 1 in 3 but in Denver its about 1 in 5, and Denver isn't X% more authoritarian than NYC.
