Do they have alot of other responsibilities like kids and a wife, or spending problems?!? That more than one job thing seems to be the standard up north and out west according to some of the people I've spoken to 
Granted, I'm still in college, but my mother raised me and my younger sister off the strength of 1 job (Medical billing) in South Carolina and we lived well.
It might be different for alot of others tho

You have to understand....a LOT of the cats who left NYC to run down south left because they didn't have much of anything up here, whether it be education and other things. Many of the dudes I know in the south now are former hustlers turned working/Jamaican men. LOL They're working three different part time jobs and shyt just to get by.

How many times is the NYT/WSJ gonna do this story only to be proven wrong time and time again? When Melrose,Mott Haven, and Beekman houses no longer exist then I will become a believer. East Harlem hasn't even been gentrified on a great scale why would developers/hipsters skip over the Eastside just to live in the last NY neighborhood that still resembles the 1990's?
