It just follows the rest of the world, the biggest and most innovative places become cities for rich people.
From Singapore and Hong-kong to Geneva to London and Paris to New York and San Francisco. If you are not winning, you can't play with the winners :yeshrug:

It's also about the infrastructure and the overwhelming amount of people between 25-40 who want to live in the actual city compared to cities like Miami and Atlanta, where people live all around the county but few actually want to live in the actual city.

It's not just cost of living. People are moving to California in droves and they have similar cost of living and tax issues, to put it lightly. The issue is also that the city is changing. Cultures are being erased or pushed aside - I'm talking about black, Rican, Dominican, etc etc as white people take over. At this point the only "culture" white people respect are ones they can eat - authentic Mexican food, soul food, Mediterranean, etc. But it comes to other shyt they want you outta there lol.

You cacs always have these idiotic hot takes

Amazon was not creating any new jobs, they were importing workers else where


Of course that was bullshyt

1st you say they weren't creating new jobs, so what were they doing creating old jobs?

2nd you said they were importing workers elsewhere , im sure NYC has more than enough talented individuals that the majority of the jobs werent coming elsewhere

Of course if you didn't attempt to educate yourself to work and were living in a place that the rent was going up then the only complaint should be the one you hold for not moving with the times

going to Charlotte or Houston:yeshrug:

Yup I got some family down there and they all tell me it’s dope:ehh::ehh:
Only issue I have with it is number 1 it’s a red state:picard:
And I herd the humidity is disgusting :scust:

You gone love Houston :whew: just further away. Like was mentioned The Medical Center is largest in the world (120K employees) will have you :eat: or plenty of other normal medical facilities around. It's a red state but it's a purplish blue city.

fukk the free market :camby:

That mentality of "I got mine and fukk you and your people" ruins capitalism and basic trust of one another.
Breh free market economy is the reason why we can have cheap shoes and cheap products in general. I spot a socialist. Socialism only works with small countries breh (Nordic countries etc.). The free market rewards the winners so tgat they can keep producing for the betterment of society (even if they are producing for selfish reasons). Losers take the L though, such is life :yeshrug:.
