Hey ... if ya choose to live in NYC, then you get to pay NYC prices. If they don't like the horrendous costs of living there, then MOVE. They have NO ONE to blame but themselves for living on a Democrat Plantation run by the Marxist equivalent of the Three Stooges - de Blasio, Cuomo, and Schumer.

The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
