NY is London in 25 years
You mean London is NY in 5 years which is San Francisco in 10 years

Nah, I'd say London is way past NY as far as rent, home prices and development.
London is also way more expensive than NY.
Money wise? Yes. Gentrification? No.

NY is gonna be interesting in 30 years, by then Flushing will be completely different and the top of SI will be Manhattan-ized.
Nah, it'll collapse before then. The rich will get tired of it and abandon it. Shyt is cyclical.
And these yuppity hippies will finally realize how expensive it is to maintain a long-term lifestyle here once their parents back home finally cut off the financial cord for their rent after a few years of being here.

I can't, everything valuable is within the city limits, particularly an earshot away from Wall Street/Midtown. Those areas with the cookie cutter post-WWII homes in the LI/Westchester/Northern NJ suburbs will be the areas where the "common" NY'ers live. Plus, that SI subway to Brooklyn will finally pop off, now that they're trying to build a Ferris Wheel/shopping area by the SI Yankees Stadium.
Everything is cyclical, this is fact. NY isn't going to keep accumulating trust fund babies and their wealth into infinity, let alone 30 years. I see this trending another 15 years top before we have a stronger but opposite reaction.
common NY'ers?
Those 3 suburbs are among the wealthiest in the country, im pretty sure they moved out for a reason. Probably for more space and not living in a living room sized apartment no more.
@ what the city has become. I was in union square today checking out some shyt at Paragon and while I was outside the store i just looked around at all of these yuppy motherfukkers. NY has fallen off so hard. you dont really hear native NYers say that shyt because we rep it so hard, but the hood is literally gonna be the only reminder of what the city used to be. Even New Yorkers who arent from the hood are gonna be coming thru just to get a taste of that shyt.
i welcome the improvements and all that to the city, but the shyt feels so overdone now that it's starting to look like a mashup of the nice parts of DC/Philly/Boston all in one with a sprinkle of corny
Union Square has always been filled with Yuppies. Aside from LES, pretty much most of Manhattan south of Harlem has been filled with yuppies. But what do you mean NY has fallen off so hard? This city's always been full of transplants. I think as we are getting older and are in adulthood we're noticing the change more than ever.
This is literally the future of every first world city. The rich people have brought back feudalism, enjoy.

Plus Union Square is pretty much near NYU territory. Where 90% of the students are hipsters from upper-class families and international kids from high class societies in their come countries.
