Housing availability is gruesomely low, but not so low as to challenge the Sanctuary City concept born of another political moment.
I'm suspecting this might change, as NYC is more politically diverse than places like San Francisco and Seattle, and pendulums swing hard back and forth historically.

- mancerayder 3y agoAt some point the city will move more to the Right as will the state. There is a misunderstood demographic that is large, diverse and at odds with the young Progressive crowd (many of whom are out-of-state transplants). Evidence of what I've just said can be seen in the breakdowns of which mayoral candidates were most popular by neighborhood. The most pro-police ones were in the poorer and less white boroughs, while the most radical left-wing ones were in the white, upper-class hipster neighborhoods. Immigration is just another one of these types of these issues that's not well understood by upper-class liberals, is my speculation. Conversations with people and observations are making me think the migrant issue has potential to galvanize the working class to oppose it.
