Why would I move when I'm not in denial about a Citywide problem, unlike some people... Unlike you, I travel around NYC. I don't stay confined to my tiny little neighborhood.

What a prediction! Came true a few days after you posted this in SF, complete with the complaints about stores closing in certain neighborhoods.

Traveling for work does not count

No passing through neighborhoods is much different than actually being there and hanging out and spending time.
