Yuppies taking over? (live, suburbs, ethnic)

Is it me or does it seem like Manhattan is becoming very young and white? Where are all these folks coming from? The suburbs? Other parts of the country?

NYC is a large international city. People come here from other parts of the country, the surrounding suburbs, and even overseas (Europe).

I have noticed very little change in the complexion of Manhattan over the last 30 years and a definite trend towards older,not younger,so no.

Nope, but I seem to notice more grumpy and depressed faces walking the streets in the city overall.

The only appropriate response. This topic literally comes up several times a day here. Yes, white people live here, but NYC remains diverse and cosmopolitan.
