Bronx: It's nothing but poor Puerto Ricans living in the projects. Wrong. They're there, but so are a lot of other folks.
Manhattan: There is no middle class there. Wrong. There is. But a lot of it is not white or lives north of 96th st.
Brooklyn: Just hipsters and Yuppies and hoodrats. Wrong. There is a middle class in Brooklyn too.
Queens: You live there when you just can't do any better. Wrong. Lots of variety,vibrancy, and reasonable cost housing.
