While the benefits amount to something small for cities... they've largely been the ones hit the hardest. NYC residents are more or less being ignored in these stimulus packages.

This doesn’t account for the vast poor and underemployed population. Keep in mind NYC consists of 5 boros, not just SoHo.


What a cruel thing to say.


I think it’s fair, given the way people in NYC have treated the underclass for a long time.


the median household income in NYC is $57000. there is a huge amount of people in NYC who make up what you're calling the "underclass".


This is such an impressively grotesque admission, but it leads me to one question: why do people willing to throw away retail workers, home health care workers, cashiers, and janitors (you know, the most commonly held jobs in NYC) to the plague, care about 9/11? Shouldn't you and others like yourself have cheered it on? They are "people in NYC," after all.


What? The income distribution of NYC roughly matches that of the USA as a whole. Do you wish ill on the entire USA because a small percentage of Americans have acted unfairly?
