I can see why one would think that visiting, and yes, there are large parts of Manhattan especially that are exactly what you're describing, but it's still a very small part of what goes on there. It's expensive, but it's also very diverse and working class.

Oh I totally believe that, I was only there for a very short time and did stereotypical tourist stuff which gives a super skewed experience. I will say the museums were great, and food options were amazing and totally possible to find affordable options if you were even slightly adventurous.

The wealth disparity was shocking though, and it was strange to me to see such an established city that still fully depended on migrant labour for its basic functioning if that makes sense?

Also Times Square is a portal to hell and no one should go there. We were warned by a local but went anyway and it was worse than I imagined

Yeah Times Square is deeply cursed

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
