Manhattan. Which is practically the epitome of human civilization:

https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7613...Ai6Q!2e0?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7694...QFfg!2e0?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7348...j_FQ!2e0?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7283...sQ5w!2e0?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7600...-_eg!2e0?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7875...pOpg!2e0?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7841...boVg!2e0?hl=en

I'll even go to the South Bronx, which isn't great but it's not some 3rd world slum either:
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.8126...T1Hg!2e0?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.8170...1WHg!2e0?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.8120...L-bQ!2e0?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.8151...PJmQ!2e0?hl=en
I even found a boarded up house for you. It's the only one I could find. Probably it won't stay boarded up for long:
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.8169...7lhg!2e0?hl=en

Contrary to popular belief, there are actually a lot of single family houses in NYC, particularly in Queens and Staten Island. Tons of areas that look like the following:
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7295...9jHA!2e0?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7476...xaBg!2e0?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7661...-unQ!2e0?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7141...grxw!2e0?hl=en

Brooklyn is denser than Queens but still has lots of single family houses:
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.6817...1yhw!2e0?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.6740...bacQ!2e0?hl=en
And of course it's also well-known for its rowhouse areas. Also the epitome of human civilization:
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.6826...RzEw!2e0?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.6926...F4EQ!2e0?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.6661...iRnA!2e0?hl=en

Yeah, third world slum.
New York City of course has rich neighborhoods at one of the signature goals of the Democrats is to have cities with the widest income disparities in the world.

All these pictures do is illustrate the massive gap between rich and poor in these inner-cities that is getting much, much worse. Yet, the Democrats give special tax breaks to the elites, tax the middle-class and encourage the poor to have as many babies as they can in the hopes of future votes. It is crazy policy to the extreme.

I think it is so interesting when people show pictures of mansions, penthouses and expensive stores in cities like NYC that have some of the widest gaps between rich and poor on the face of the earth.

Just shows how far the Democratic party has fallen in the last generation. They play two tunes with policies that enrich elites with zero-interest rates and than of course lots of welfare with middle-class taxes for those who have insanely sized families with parents who don't know how to raise their children.

Those small neighborhoods of the millionaire and billionaire elites that were enriched by Obama and Yellen's ZIRP policy sure are nice.

I thought that was interesting the pictures of all those upscale stores that sell $10,000 purses and $100,000 rings to the Obama and Yellen zero-interest rate policy elites.

A million or so living the high life in NYC and many millions more living in century-year old overcrowded tenements with huge families being raised in units the size of an average garage in flyover country.

Trump lived the high life in NYC prior to moving his gig to the White House.

You need to stop comparing big cities next to the ocean to fly over country. It just doesn't work.

This post almost comes across as jealousy.

So...the link I shared before had about 9 million people and a poverty rate of 14.7%. Could you please show me mathematically/present statistics/something to show how it ends up being “A million or so living the high life in NYC and many millions more living in century-year old overcrowded tenements with huge families being raised in units the size of an average garage in flyover country.â€

Also frequently mentioned as one of NY's worst neighborhoods is East New York.
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.6698...F7n1dhdCSw!2e0
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.6618...igYnDn6vqA!2e0
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.6708...widZwZGcXw!2e0
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.6659...YbKAzeAaqw!2e0
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.6757...EUTQJKGe3w!2e0

And so on. THAT is DeBlasio's New York. I think lovecrowds thinks NYC looks something like this.

So incredibly sad. One of the dead men was a young serviceman, who recently came from Ghana and joined the military. He was going back and forth saving others.

First of all, I included scenes from the South Bronx, which has historically been one of NY's worst areas. Second, I added scenes from other "bad" neighborhoods above. Those "bad" areas aren't even all that bad.

The OP's state also has high rates of poverty (consistently always ranks top 10 in household rates of poverty):




So based on AZ's problem with guns and high rates of poverty, I suppose I can logically deduct that I should stay away from a 3rd world hell hole like AZ because it has so much poverty and also need to avoid it if I want to not be shot up by gun wielding maniacs.

Those are NOT small neighborhoods. But then, you've never been to NY so what do you know?

Uh, in case you've forgotten, your own Dear Leader is probably the epitome of what you just described in the sentence above.
