    Half of America is poor if not most. People are living from paycheck to paycheck every week.

    In a study that surprises almost no one, the Bloomberg administration has found that half of New York City residents are "poor" or "near-poor" meaning that they were "making less than 150 percent of the poverty threshold." This is a small rise in the amount of poor from 2009, when the recession officially ended. But as New York City has made abundantly clear, the recovery has not been shared by all (or even many).

    The city, in its analysis, recommended against cutbacks to vital public assistance programs, like tax credits and food stamps. These programs are having their budgets cut at the federal and state level, as Washington, and Mayor Bloomberg himself endorses austerity measures in the face of a still-sluggish economy.

    "Coinciding with the end of the slump in the job market is the end of the recession-related expansion of the safety net," the report states.

    Manhattan has become richer while boroughs where development money and attention hasn't been given, like Queens, are now poorer. The Bronx has remained just as poor as it has always been.

    While recent measures in New York City like raising the minimum wage and granting workers paid sick days have helped poor New Yorkers (both measures were opposed by Mayor Bloomberg), Nancy Rankin, an advocate on behalf of the poor, reports that "missing rungs in the ladder make it really hard to climb out of poverty," and cutbacks in aid will make matters even worse.

    Probably why so many NYers move down south.


    Shit's expensive as fuck up there.

    Its mostly because of the weather like Florida with it being basically spring and summer all year round.

    Location, location location is all that matters. If u can afford it, why not but if your smart, u would live within your means. If you cant, relocation should be your next resort to avoid stress but that depends on the persons situation.

    Lmfao at this whole thread. Some of the shit said here is truly hilarious.
    Some of the shit is true, most is blown outta proportion. Just went to my friends get together on Saturday. Beautiful brownstone in Harlem, was about thirty people in the house and backyard. Everyone there was professionals and living good. With that said, "if" we were all down south making the money we make up here, shit would of course be different. Yet I have family and friends down south from the Carolinas to Florida and save one or two, they are not doing better than me or my friends that are well off.
    Other than some of the fronting ass dummies up here that are flat broke, but buying shit they don't need and can't afford just to empress nobody, up here is great and nowhere close to the shit being spewed. But it is hilarious. Hopefully it continues, you muhfukaz are funny.


    I can't see me shitting on anywhere I haven't live for at least half a decade, but I can't see living anywhere other than NYC. Shit, I don't even wanna move to other boroughs the city is so convenient. Even parking, besides midtown, is not as bad as people make it seem.
