Congratulations, progressives. You’ve succeeded in turning our nation’s major cities into lawless shite holes. Good luck maintaining them without a tax base. You should ask Detroit have that worked out for em.

I dont even know where this comes from

Most people as in almost all people in NYC live in the shittiest and smallest apartments. Rats in the walls. Nothing updated in 70 years. Smells bad.

Those people take the shittiest train and bus in the US with mentally ill people everywhere to work every.

There is no amount of nightlife worth that. You can do just fine in lots of cities. He'll most people there probably can't even afford to go to all that fancy stuff they brag about being in the city after rent.

Anything else you can visit New York for.

With 6 people making UI plus an additional $600 per week, this was a choice not to pay. A few new Yorkers have boycotted paying rent since the 'rona thinking the mayor will cancel the rent owed.


Exactly. This article tells me that he 6 people actually did the responsible thing by renting a place they can easily afford and not over-extending themselves.

They then lost their job and instead of using the UI to cover the rent, decided they are not paying it.

This article points to a larger issues which is that many NYCers feel that they have been taken advantage of by large property owners and have decided they aren't paying rent altogether. I would tell these people to f off.

This whole concept is ridiculous.

Can’t afford to live there? Move to another part of the country.

There are some extremely affordable places to live in this large country.

he's not wrong

the whole "that's where all the jobs are!" mantra was always the excuse for why hyper urbanity was pushed on people

which is why RE is unaffordable, which creates major economic issues (especially high gini coefficients), and then the cycle keeps going by pushing more prestige/jobs there, which makes RE more unaffordable, etc etc

cities are opulence that have been sold as necessities. we are learning that they're expensive luxuries


spot on

I make a similar argument for universities. Lots of change is on the horizon

No shite? You have ordered the police to stand down and are allowing Lord of the Flies rules. Regular people, also known as bill and tax payers, don't want to pay to live in that shite hole.

Because they are refusing to pay

6 people making $1000/wk in UI over 16 weeks is $96,000 in available funds. They can afford to pay rent they are choosing not to. That should be the message of this article.

That is the message

Their landlord will not be able to pay taxes

All small landlord will be bankrupt because of the no need to pay orders

Large corporations will buy up all the properties for pennies on the dollar from these people

Everyone will then wonder what the frick happened when three years from now you can't rent anything for under twice the price

correct @slowflopro is making arguments that do not exist. cities are still very desirable but it's also become trendy to not pay rent esp in ny
