Wang will do his best to squeeze every last penny out of these wealthy new yorkers who are in NYC because they made money elsewhere, or have parents who are wealthy. If you spend a lot of time with friends who live in the city, queens/manhattan/Brooklyn...the "white" people, at least MANY of them, are living off their parents money, trust funds, stuff like that. THey aint paying $2500 a month for studio apartments with earnings form tending bar, answering phones at the office, etc. Plus my friends in the city all have more disposable income then we do because they pay like 140 a month for a metro card instead of the 900 a month it costs many of us to pay for a car/imsurance/gas. My friends in the city go out to bars and restaurants all week long when my co workers with cars and mortgage go out like once a month to Fridays.
Every rich kid around the world tells there parents "I want to go to college in manhattan.." and many move to Brooklyn now. CHeck ranger ticket prices on ticketmaster....prices through the roof. Almost everything starts at $100.00. How do they get away with that? some corporate tickets...some wealthy people with good jobs....and ALOT of people living off their parents in some foreign country or out of state.
