    I think NYC is going to have more of a problem of people moving to the city thanks to Mamdani

        I feel you :(

        I pay less than $1,000 a month in rent and utilities in the midwest. I work fully remotely and could afford NYC, but moving there would cost me more than 3x as much to live. Even though I hate midwest suburbia so much, I plug in that $2,000/month into an investment calculator and it feels impossible to move. It’s the difference between maybe retiring at 65 and retiring at 50

    Speaking as a librul snowflake hopelessly stuck in the cousin-fuckingly-deep south, perhaps one of the Trumpanzees in NYC would be interested in a trade?

    …please?

      What are you trading? Your inbred AF, out-of-touch, sycophant-fluffed, deeply deranged, and psychotic liability ready-to-pop-off-at-any-moment neighbors for… Oh, right. They’re actually pretty much the same in all that, but the latter with money they don’t deserve and could never “earn” and the former without.

      There’s something to that, I just can’t put my finger on it…

    Lol, I live in California, and sometimes catty Republicans like to make snide comments about how they don’t want to live here because of the “politics”.

    Every time I hear this, I get excited. Like… “Really? Where do you live? Is it nice? Go the fuck away please.”

      I always laugh when conservatives describe Cali as a “shit hole”. Yes, that’s exactly why property is so cheap in California, because nobody wants to live in such an awful place.

      I really wish conservatives would leave progressive areas alone. They’re constantly attacking California, and cities across the US. Their goal isn’t to raise the standard of living in their own communities, but to make the rest of the country worse

      i’m laughing harder at the posts from TX saying ‘the south is full, so don’t come down here when NY turns into a communist hellhole’.

      “oh no, my rent is frozen! we’ve got to get out of here!”

      “where are we gonna go?”

      “mexico… ish”
