>10 million people live on this tiny island when 80% of this

So they can save up to buy a house in Florida as the Chinese and Russians are buying up property in NYC.

>tfw Central Park is basically a ploy to raise up the prices on surrounding buildings because the view isn't blocked by skyscrapers

>>68721400

Rent 25000 dollars a month I bet

It's "empty" for a reason.

You know who settled the "wild" during the times of "manifest destiny"?

Poor immigrants, criminals fleeing prosecution in the original colony states(my family fits in here), and religious lunatics looking for their "promised land".

They did not raise offspring that valued critical thinking skills.

I grew up in the very center of the country, and I moved away to a city as soon as I possibly could for the simple reason that I wanted to have at least one mildly intelligent conversation with another thinking human being, in real life, before I died.

You can only talk about huntin', and drinkin', and muddin', and tweakin', and JEAZZUS!!! for so long before you just want to crawl under your trailer and die.

That is the real estate business to sell with high price

>>68721433
It's in Manhattan of course is gonna be expensive.

>>68721540
you can also talk about NFL and how much cost your new flat screen and hummer too, though

>>68721138
wonder how much the real estate value of central park would be

sounds like you need more inmigrants to fill that 80%

>>68723016

my city in the midwest has been begging for immigrants for decades

We absorbed 70,000 Bosnian refugees in the 90s and it was great all-in-all

>>68721138
>10 million
No 10 million people live in NYC, 1.5 million live in Manhattan

>>68723548
we can send you millions of syrians, somalians, erythreans and other afghans if you want

>>68721138
Also I can see the spot where I had sex with my gf in the rambles from this view

>>68723575

Our mayor formally asked if we could get 10,000+ Syrian refugees but he was blocked by the state because of muh isis

I can see my gf from here

>>68721540
I get kind of what you're saying, but wasn't there anybody your own age that you could talk about shit with? People who you could have an intelligent conversation with?
To me it always seemed just as bad in the major cities. Everyone was either too busy, or didn't give two shits about you.

>>68721138

Because of brainwashed children like >>68721540 with zero personal autonomy that need some form of authority to tell them how to live their lives. Rural America (especially Rust Belt and the midwest) is dream living. So much freedom from red tape and neoliberalism.

>>68723663
I think he was kind of complaining about the psuedo-redneck culture that flourishes in many more rural families.
If I tried to talk about high brow stuff with anybody in my family I would probably be shot down or just stared at strangly like usual.

I suppose he could just be another person running off to whatever area is a better ideological hugbox though. Who knows.

protip: You can live two blocks south of Central Park for relatively cheap. I paid less to live in a nice highrise on 56th street than most of my friends did in Brooklyn for their old, rotting walkups with limited subway access.

People shit on Nimbys but if it weren't for them NYC would have become Vancouver decades ago when all the crime cleared up and housing was cheap

>>68723575
Honestly I think that the US could take a fair amount of the refugees Europe is being slammed with right now. The US is much larger, more accommodating population-wise, and is much, much, much more open to the idea of large numbers of immigrants.

>>68723787
Pls deport yourself.

Next week there's be a trial against 11 Iraqi gentlemen who raped a girl on 1.1.2016. They have "protected her privacy" almost an entire year. Actually I don't even want to know what happens here every day now.

New York is so bad today compared to even 10 years ago. And it was really bad then too.

It's literally Disneyland for rich people at this point. Everybody there is fake as fuck.

When somebody says they want to live in NYC, I think it reflects poorly on their character. It means they're uncultured and wish to absorb refinement through osmosis.

If I had to live in America again, I would choose Boston or Philadelphia desu

>>68723663
I don't think you know what "neoliberal" means.

>>68721540
lol you're the perfect example of what I'm talking about.

Gutter trash trying to find "his people" in the big city.

Imagine millions of your neighbors all wracked by this insecurity and ambition and self-loathing and you have the New York state of mind in a nutshell.

>>68723787
Canada is so fucking empty. We could clear out a 10km by 10km stretch of forest somewhere in Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba, Northern Ontario, or even Quebec and just plant a half million goddamn refugees there, easy. Build some infrastructure, call the place "New Damascus" and we have a nice new city full of Muslims who can contribute to our economy while we monitor them and water down their culture until their descendants are secular humanists, just like us.

>Women have to be escorted by men now

I agree, especially since they are mostly relocated into red states

>>68723687
What kind of intellectual subjects would you want to talk about? I live in a city and it's not like our conversations are particularly enlightened. We mostly just complain about shit.

>>68723787
I'd agree only to see hundreds of immigrants getting shot.

That's the problem really. I don't know why the one guy things the city is much better.
Basic people are the norm everywhere.

>>68721138
Economic disparity.
People flock where they believe there's economic opportunity.
If people were guaranteed a universal basic income the urban centers would slowly but surely depopulate, they're really shitty and people know, but they don't see better options in the small ass, economically depressed towns.

The Dutch grid system is a beautiful thing, isn't it, we have the same system in the Jordaan, Amsterdam, but then without skyscrapers. Jakarta/Batavia is built on the same manner

Alright. Let's talk about rural America, particularly the Midwest. There are good things and bad things about it, and I would like to hear both.

>>10 million people live on this tiny island when 80% of this country is empty

10 million people don't live on Manhattan island. But damn near every immigrant for 70 years or more were processed through Ellis island 12 miles away from NYC, so that's why 10 million people live there.

>>68740425
I had to check and correct myself.
Ellis island ran for 60 years.

>>68724232
Besides being more expensive and less dangerous what changed so much over the last couple of years? You sound like you have your own problems if you think less of someone because they may enjoy living somewhere you don't.

cities are for tourists

no idea why you'd want to live so close to other people and minorities

Why do people get so triggered by the fact that we have endless space and near endless wealth in America and we are uniquely suited to take in large amounts of refugees. People make it seem like the fact that some of the refugees hate America is something new. Italian and Jewish anarchists immigrants bombed America for decades and we still let them in, know both groups are Americanized. Immigrants are never clean and shiny, but they'll still do the shit jobs we don't want and make delicious donner carts.
