I've lived in New York City for over 40 years. If you view crumbling infrastructure, 44% of NYC residents living at or near the poverty line and soaring homelessness as signs of "prosperity", that's your prerogative. https://patch.com/new-york/new-york-city/nyc-homeless-population-grew-4-year-data-show https://patch.com/new-york/new-york-city/nyc-homeless-popula... I suggest you fly into Laguardia airport to see some world class prosperity. https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/flights/2015/07/28/laguardia-worst-airport-crowded-concourses-terminal-weather-flight-disruptions/30782433/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/flights/2015/07/28/lag... http://abc7ny.com/traffic/traffic-nightmare-for-drivers-heading-to-laguardia-airport/2702148/ http://abc7ny.com/traffic/traffic-nightmare-for-drivers-head... If you want to enjoy even more "prosperity", you can pay $344 a month to ride the LIRR (as long as you don't have to get anywhere on time). https://nypost.com/2018/03/15/last-years-lirr-delays-cost-riders-millions/ https://nypost.com/2018/03/15/last-years-lirr-delays-cost-ri...
