I hear you but for most people that translates to "don't be born there".
Most of the same people who would tell you if you can't afford it move out are the same people who think NYC should be a sanctuary city for illegal immigrants because they were born in unfortunate circumstances and desire a better life.
I've moved in and out of NYC several times and each of those moves ended up costing between 5k and 10k in expenses. Broke people can't afford that shit.
- persolb 3y agoI don’t think “don’t be born there” applies to NYC anyway. Less than half of the residents were born in NY state. (So some percent less than that born in NYC itself.) We need ‘some’ method to allocate residences, and price seems to be the best one we have. Maybe give people $10k in loans to move out of NYC… they’ll more than save that money by committing from another state.
