Sorry guys - didn't mean to imply I had a problem with rich and poor in New York.
The way I look at it, it is expensive to live in New York, so there are high poverty levels. Its expensive because people wanna be there, and cause that is where the jobs are. I'm guessing it would be pretty friggin hard to live off welfare in NY.
This is not the liberals fault, and not something that can be "fixed" (by conservatives or liberals), except by destroying what NY is.
John - what relationship of housing prices to rent and so on is there in NY now? Aren't there funny rent controls which screw that up too?
