NYC is doing great, as are quality-of-life focused cities like KC, Miami and Columbus.
Maybe calling every critic in your town names and letting QoL go to absolute crap is the real driver of movement.
- thegjp210 4y agoBy what metrics is NYC doing "great"? The amount of crime and visible urban decay/blight seems just as pronounced (in Lower Manhattan) as it does in San Francisco
- onlyrealcuzzo 4y agoBy rent inflation?
- nemothekid 4y ago>The amount of crime and visible urban decay/blight seems just as pronounced (in Lower Manhattan) as it does in San Francisco The crime/urban blight angle is a red-herring; It implies that there was anytime in the last 30 years that New York/San Francisco was anywhere nearly comparable to a city like Tokyo. Manhattan is already seeing a net influx in people moving back into the city.[1] [1] https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/sf-covid-recovery-nyc-17365339.php https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/sf-covid-recovery-nyc...

- SoftTalker 4y agoThose cities are also not reliant on one market sector that has happened to have a spectacular 20 year run. I guess Financial Services might be the closest thing, but there's a lot more to NYC than Wall Street. The comparison to Detroit seems apt. When the automakers scaled down, there was no "Plan B" and the city leaders were too incompetent/corrupt to actually lead.
