^ I know, right? This guy is picking on people who probably has more money than him, so he's jealous like a broke police officer because he can't figure them out.
Jealous of a who? A guy living the ghetto? Or a guy working as a cashier?

You've never seen luxury cars in ghetto neighborhoods? Where have you been living?
Yes,certainly but 1)I doubt the OP has ever been in NYC and 2)what does it matter if one sees luxury cars in ghetto neighborhoods anyway ?
To be honest I've asked myself the same question when passing through ghetto neighborhoods in NYC. You don't find it at all strange that someone is supposedly living in terrible conditions (i.e. housing projects in a ghetto neighborhood) and driving around in a $50 - 75k car? Now of course some people are passing through, but some people clearly live there. Don't housing projects have income requirements? I always thought they were for the poorest of the poor.

Please,this is NYC. There are multi million dollar condos and $3,000/mo rentals across the street from projects. Haven't you been reading about people spending millions to move into places like Bed/Stuy,Bushwick,Harlem,Crown Heights,etc ? How do you know who owns a car,where they live and what they are doing in any given neighborhood ?
That's very cute but I do just fine for myself and have too much pride to mooch off of other people. My curiosity stems from not knowing how subsidized housing works in this city, as I have never lived off of handouts. In my mind someone living in public housing on taxpayer dollars shouldn't have the right to drive around in luxury cars.

Yes, I've seen those circumstances that you describe and those situations are pretty clear cut. Those are people who are doing okay for themselves, but HAVE to live Manhattan, even if that means living across from housing projects. LOL I'm talking about situations in which it's VERY clear that the people are ghetto in their mannerisms and they're sitting outside propped up on an expensive car and they look like they don't do anything but hang out all day. You know the types I'm talking about. It can only be drug money or they're living at home in the projects with their parents. Otherwise it doesn't add up. The people that are pretending like these types of people don't exist are living on another planet, as if drug dealers packed up and moved somewhere else since de Blasio took office.

No one is saying those aren't possibilites. The issue was the automatic assumption that it HAD to be it.

Sounds like you're stereotyping...
