And this is exactly what I'm talking about. These people who are complaining are obviously transplants to this city. Guaranteed. Just ask a single person who grew up in the South Bronx or East New York if they can't get by on $160k a year?

Or better yet, get someone from Wisconsin to complain to someone from one of those neighborhoods that they can't get by on $160k a year. See what happens tongue grin.


Ha! Good point about the South Bronx/East NY areas.

"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
