Half of New York City residents say they are struggling economically, making ends meet just barely, if at all, and most feel sharp uncertainty about the future of the city’s next generation, a new poll shows.

Alaska is a beautiful place.

I agree that it is. To visit.

Now some might like living there and I say good for them. I would never disparage them or call their home a hellhole just because I don't like 7 months of winter and subzero weather.

[razorback-bert]

Just goes to show, why we need $15/hr, so New Yorkers can afford to live there.

Some of the most savage invective I have ever heard was, equally, between gay men and lesbians. Man they can get nasty with one another.

[SoFloFreeper]

Obama’s fault.

Cuomo’s fault.

DeBlasio’s fault.

Just how are we going to support all these ppl. SS hasn’t had a raise in a long time. Our vets aren’t being treated well. And now the cities will raise taxes to pay for their housing, etc. Ppl will be taxed out of their homes. Many will commit suicide.

Anywhere liberalism is it turns everthing to $hip. Everyone in the blue states are running to the red states.

> Life is rich and rewarding ..... Its me that is broke

My story too...: )

They shouldn’t have voted Democrat. Note tagline.

"Things are bad in New York."

Oh, well.

That half of New Yorkers must be lying. With the robust Obama economic recovery, and only 5% unemployment, those people should be thriving.

Republicans must have paid them to say that their having so much trouble. The IRS will be auditing all of those liars.

[Labyrinthos]

Some of us have business’s here.

There lies the problem. The best that we can hope for is that domestic leftist and recent immigrants from the turd-world go someplace else.

[redfreedom]

“...and yet, they choose to live there.”

That’s fine with me. Like Californicers, they take their liberal ideals with them and vote accordingly.

[Catsrus]

The sad part of it is that they take their liberal views and votes when they relocate to red states, and then ruin them. They are like locusts.

Well, I suppose the only remedy, after having supported the Kenyan Fraud twice and Comrade Warren Wilhelm once, is for NYC to now support Hitlery. If she can’t starve them all out in her first term, no one can.

In other words, you can’t fix stuck on stupid.
