    With respect to New Yorkers, looking in from the outside, it feels like they just vote for the person who promises to be the biggest asshole to homeless people and don’t seem to care about much else.

    And this is where it gets you.

    SF has the same general issue: there are a bunch of rich NIMBYs, old people, and closet conservatives who band together to elect center-right neolibs and cops.

      Seattle too. Honestly I think it is just the nature of big cities where most middle to lower class folks can’t afford live in them.
