That's outside of NYC mostly though, and NYC has enough prestige to be the world capital. Only a handful of places in the world are at NYC's level.

Haha. Have you ever been to Bedford-Stuyvesant, Bushwick, East New York, Jamaica Queens, the West Bronx, Lower East Side, Spanish Harlem, Coney Island, Flatbush, Hell's Kitchen? They are all within NYC and you wouldnt want to be in any of those places. NYC is a lot more than Park Avenue.

Manhattan is more than Park Ave, generalize much?

What does this have to do with anything? New York is the most powerful city in the World. It has something South Florida (and Florida, in general) lacks - a massive sea of wealthy and upper-middle class white-collar professionals and corporations. New York has more millionaires and billionaires and corporations than any city on the planet. Florida is mostly a brain-drain type of place and a fast-spinning revolving door of retirees moving in, dying, repeat. It's economy is built on tourism, NYC's economy is built on a critical mass of brain-power.

New York City has more Fortune 500 companies than the entire Florida, and by a massive margin.
NYC - 88
Florida - 16

//www.city-data.com/forum/city-...ical-area.html

And a higher Gross Domestic Product than the entire Florida

NYC: 1.68 Trillion
Florida: 748 billion

High Net Worth Individuals ($1mm in cash)
New York City - 898,800
South Florida area doesn't even rank, so it must be less than 100,000 (which is the threshold)

Your understanding of NYC appears to from the 1990s. Half of the areas you mention (especially Hell's Kitchen, the Lower East Side and "East New York") are quite desirable places to live now.

As opposed to the plethora of Section 8 housing, trailer parks, foreclosed/distressed properties and white trash abodes that are all over Florida....

He left NY because it was crap, but rags on people who think FL is crap. Hypocrisy at its finest.

Who cares about desirable neighborhoods, GDP, wealth, and good jobs when there is snow on the ground in NYC?

People have to get away from the evil white stuff at all cost.
