          Exactly why they're more soulful, the Black folks are less violent

            Government assistance and the existence of cheap ghettos. If NYC was run by wignats they could have easily displaced 90+% of the black population in less than a decade. The only remaining blacks would be the ones who could afford to live there and would still want to live in an area that's no longer black.

            Rent control. If you keep renting the same apartment for decades, you get the same price. So, you could have an apartment passed on from the 1970s with 1970s prices.

            that's a thing over here too, but the landlords usually try to make a living hell for the renters in order to kick them out somehow so they can make bank

            The poorer parts of NY are the mind your own areas. You can get away with anything there long enough. I had a friend who called animal control because his neighbor's apartment had loud growling all the time. It turned out he was keeping a Cheetah as a pet for months. This doesn't fly in the higher income parts though.

            What are you confused by? The idea that a city can have good and bad neighborhoods?

            Blacks aren't pussies like white people are, any landlord who tried that would end up in the morgue.

      Misconception. A lot of people who work in NYC actually come from the suburbs where most the homes are single family homes. Pic related shows the commute times. Bare in mind 1 million people commute into NYC every weekday accounting for 20% of the workforce and of that million 400,000 cross the Hudson River. Tbh its the best of both worlds as long as you're under an hour away from work. A lot of cities I've been to are like this such as London. There's "secret" train lines which service quiet suburbs that shuttle people to work and back without the problem of "city folk" entering their trains. The best example of this is Ebbsfleet international to St Pancras Station. A 26 mile, 90+ minute commute by car that's done in less than 20 minutes by train 90+% of Londoners have never heard of in 2 stops. These lines don't exist on the popular tube maps for a reason. To keep filth out. And I fricking love it. They're the best kept secret in major cities.

        For those too lazy to search it, here is a screencap for context. There's a few other trains that have similar express routes connecting the outskirts to London but everyone acts like the Elizabeth line is the first one to do so.

    New York City, Chicago, Pittsburg, etc., weren't built around the central idea of cars. They were built with the intention of getting everywhere either by carriage or on foot.
    Later, we see cities like Houston, Austin, LA and many others that, although weren't founded with the intention to build a city with the main form of transportation being cars, they definitely grew large during the use and widespread of cars.

    TLDR: Old cities like NYC were established without cars being the main form of transportation, cities like Houston and LA boomed with the rise of cars being in almost every household.
