The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Meanwhile liberals in the Chicago and Arizona suburb's or the rich enclaves of NYC like Greenwich Village, NoHo, Hudson Yards don’t have to deal with inner city problems nor live there.

You really shouldn't make generalizations when you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Neighborhoods like Greenwich Village, NoHo, etc certainly include very wealthy residents. But there are also a great many of us who have been here for a very long time, before the high-cost apartments were created. And in neighborhoods with long history (unlike newly-developed Hudson Yards), there are also residents who were born and raised in these neighborhoods, and remained here. And we travel around the city. And many city problems spill out across the city. If you want to talk about "rich enclaves," the one neighborhood that might fit this is the Upper East Side, which has always been an insular home to the wealthy. But even that doesn't mean that many people there are not aware or concerned about the problems others are facing here.

You have no idea what you're talking about (nothing new).

And I can tell you that I'm so glad you no longer live here. It's people like you who only make such problems worse.
