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.
I think you're talking about Trump and republicans new tax plan. It benefits the wealthy and corporations while giving little deductions to the middle class which will run out. Yet the wealthy and corporations deductions will continue.
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.
I enjoy visiting NYC, but I'd rather live in Paradise Valley, AZ (not too far from the OP). As FirebirdCamaro has pointed out in some other threads....sometimes it's about the weather.
That said....the Wichita Chamber of Commerce or the Omaha Chamber of Commerce should hire the OP .
Maybe people unless it is a penthouse or large luxury units, should raise their children in a large single family home and not an overcrowded apartment.
New York City seems to have many issues that arise from it's third-world sized families living in small apartments in walk-up tenement apartments.
It seems as though these massive families living in crowded apartments with buildings with hundreds of people with electrical appliances and stoves everywhere is a recipe for issues.
I guess unlike DeBlasio's NY, people in Republican Wichita can raise their children in huge homes that aren't crammed with things that could dangerous for less than 1,000 a month.
Why have kids if they can't watch them 24 hours, 7 days a week?
Why have a big family if they are living in a century-year old walk up overcrowded apartment building festered with disease?
I wonder how many siblings the parents who were living in a Bronx tenement were preoccupied with?
Seems like the NYC model of crowded tenement apartments crowded with families that can't watch their children that are breeding grounds of disease isn't really working very well.
Such mean spiritedness. A simple rest in peace to those that lost their lives, would have sufficed.

I really don't think the OP was trying to be mean. I do think he made some pretty good points.
This tragedy should have been prevented with better parenting, and that's the bottom line. 12 people are dead who should not be dead.

That I agree with. Neighbors reported mom whose kid killed 12 made no true attempt at helping others get out, sat on curb across street while others were dying.
