Nice map, LK. But if you think seeing it on a map is shocking, just imagine if you've lived in this city for more than fifty years and you're here to watch it with your own eyes.

re Manhattan: If the borough is liberal enough for the French to live there, that should tell you all you need to know about the average resident. Moneyed, ultra-liberal, and completely out of touch with the rest of the world.

And the Bangladeshis are everywhere. It's honestly shocking how fast they've grown as a demographic, both in the outer boroughs and in the cheaper suburbs.
