Ya'll in here talking about some damn food and music focused on irrelevant, shyt basing things on the current state of hip hop, FOH......NYC is the global financial capital.
Thats our ultimate bragging right. If u aint speaking on that u aint saying nothing.

Those who are employed in these financial institutions are monolithic overwhelmingly white males which is not a representative of the city's demographics. The only visible small minority in any Wall Street banking institution is Asians.
Wall Street an elusive dream for black Americans - NBC News
These are the same people who are driving up living costs while the overwhelming majority rest of the city stays living and stressing about the rise of living cost combined with stagnant wages. It's a nice title to have as a global financial hub but how does the majority of the rest of the city's population benefit from this title especially Black people in the city.

Thats the beauty of not thinking tribal. As an individual I can seperate myself from any group you might wanna put me in and speak for myself. Now I cant speak for "the rest of the citys population" I can only speak for myself and I'm doing quite well. I'm the same person who said right here on this site...instead of complaining about gas prices going up, get a better job so that wont be an issue.
I aint look at NY the same since

NY is dope as hell.
Was born here but moved to Lauderdale when I was about 6. Would visit every summer and had friends here but I was mostly was raised in FL. Permanently moved to Flatbush in 2011 when I was 16 and was shown nothing but love by the people.
Funny thing though when I moved here I was on some bummy Florida nikka shyt clothes wise
That shyt wasn't flying here, a nikka stood out like a sore thumb. shyt is funny to compare how I dressed back then to now. 
Glad I moved here if not for that reason alone.

Regardless of thinking tribal or not, one of the reasons or arguments put forth as the reason why NYC has lost some of its "soul' is because of vast changing neighborhoods and minorities being priced out of the neighborhoods they grew up in regardless of educational or professional attainment. So there is a racial/ethnic element to this conversation. If you think that's tribal then it's your opinion and you have the right to have one.
The fundamental problem is not lack of work ethic or not wanting to get a better job instead level of wages unable to rise with the cost of living. Being "well off" should not detach you from seeing the unfairness of the system or be immune to the plight of other hard working people who can't simply make it. How is a working class American supposed to compete with a foreign multi-millionaire parking his/her money in a major city like NYC. This is one of the factors affecting cost of either renting or owning in major cities throughout the world not just NYC (London, Vancouver specifically) Is getting a better job the answer?
Even as a "well off" person, you should be concerned because these types of things can cause social upheaval where people have had enough or pushed to the brink. Caring about the plight of other working class people is not philanthropy, charity or sentimental but also can also benefit in terms of preventing social chaos.
LOL....U really want me to think tribal...and I wont. Is the system unfair? Yes...But thats life and life is cut throat. I have my own issues and here u are telling me I need to be worried about someone else sustaining a living here. U actually said that to me and thats exactly why I dont think tribal. I mean why stop there? There was a thread heavy yesterday were a bunch of no getting p*ssy posters were talking about the lack of getting p*ssy.....So according to you I should focus on them while lifting my wifes leg up at 3 am.

Nobody is forcing you to be worried about anything even though you should or maybe your whole fam is full of millionaires who can afford to live wherever they want if that's the case most people don't have that luxury) just saying why the dynamics of the city is changing and how that affects working and poor provoking class people which is the majority of the city. That's it no need to get graphic about p*ssy or your wife's leg. I don't know how you made that correlation.
