OK. They can move to a new other place. You understand that there will then be people in this other place who are priced out, right?

There is no solution other than New York City and its suburbs building enough supply.

Your idea of blaming the people being priced out solves absolutely nothing.

The Heights is a higher income area than Newark and Union City and has been that way for a long time. It has always been a middle class neighborhood. Many people priced out of the Heights go to those areas. Are they now the evil problem in those areas? Or maybe you should just tell New York City to build enough housing and stop the problem at its source.

You understand that the sheer action of moving does not automatically equal pricing others out, right? I'm actually not solely placing the blame on people moving into a neighborhood, unlike you, who's placing it only on "NY Nimbys."

"You lost your home, oh well, not my concern, it was the NY Nimbys that did this to you. By the way, before you move away can you tell me where the nearest Whole Foods is?"

I ain't a Whole Foods shopper bud. There ain't no Whole Foods in the Heights and if there was I wouldn't go there. You're now getting mad at imaginary characters on the internet, what a fun life.

Do state your theory of how more people can move into a neighborhood without expanding supply and manage to not displace someone.

Even a casual read of my quote you're referencing makes it clear I didn't say anything about YOU shopping at Whole Foods. 🤦

What's is hilarious is that you have an imaginary scenario made up in your head about someone else getting mad about imaginary characters. Now THAT is a fun life. I guess.🫤
