>The City that Never Sleeps >everything closes at 10
These, I don't believe for a single second that NYC (or most large american cities, for that matter) even have 20-30% occupancy in apartments/condos/business parks. Literally everyone on the street is a begging moron, a tourist, or an "influcencer." Not a family to be found that isn't on vacation. Nobody actually fucking lives in this place, somebody is borderline just making up population numbers
This is actually a major redpill/conspiracy theory. Most population numbers are faked. Censuses are faked. In Havana Cuba the governemnt pays people to walk around there in 8 hour shifts and look like they live there, but then they go and live 30 miles outside the city in another province. So basically the waiters, people on the street, Etc are all actors. This is actually common in more countries than cuba and in the west surprisingly. So NGOs and the government have interests for different reasons in making cities look busier than they actually are. Thats why certain cities feel “livlier” than others, like Athens in Greece. Because in that city, real people actually live there and make up the population. In Cities like NYC, people are being paid to drive around aimlessly, then at the end of their shift they go home to new jersey or upstate or wherever.

In Cuba, they do this in order to keep the inage of the old town a certain way without having to do many repairs on the buildings.
As someone living in NYC for 30+ years, this is actually half-true. It's not some conspiracy, it's just reality. It's not that ((someone)) is paying fake actors, it's just reality that few people live in NYC. Most people commute to new jersey or the outer boroughs at night where they live, which is why NYC at night is literally just homeless people.
As someone who understands how things work, you’re only half-right. In reality, the census numbers are tracked by bureaucrats with inefficient methods and handled by city bureaucrats who have an incentive to inflate their numbers.
Once had a girl tell me the appeal of NYC is that she can leave her apartment at all hours and grab a slice of pizza if hungry.
What the fuck is that shit. You can accomplish that at most bumfuck towns with a local Walmart, and not be packed into a studio with 3 other people for 99% percentile prices on square footage.
New York is a joke after your early 20s. Staying after that, unless you're wealthy and directly make money off of fooling plebs of this 'lifestyle', is pure delusion.
Urban housing in the US is unbelievably price gouged. Families can't afford to live there
It’s kinda funny seeing all this news lately about how little demand there is in NYC for housing right now, and some landlord comes on crying about how hard they have it, when you know most of these people will charge like $1,000 for a one room apartment and act like it’s the norm.
That was before the coof, now its full of retirees and other poors who cant leave

You’re absolutely right, but New York is the city where you can do that by foot reasonably safely at all hours.
Think about how depressing that is for a second. There are virtually no alternatives that you can go by foot which are also safe.
NYC is only fun if you are the son of wealthy nj upper middle class parents. This city is terrible for nightlife besides big concerts
Not anymore.

I shed no tears for them but it is the literal norm. They didnt pull the rent numbers out of thin air. City is just extremely expensive
>$1,000 for a one room apartment and act like it’s the norm.
1k is about the minimum price for a studio here in Ohio. Nyc would be at 1.5-2x that.
that was pre covid, nothing is open 24 hours anymore
I was there pre covid and had a hard time finding a bar that was open after midnight on a Friday.
Was there in 2022, was disappointed it wasn't as vibrant as Hong Kong after dark.
Same for London, I only found one working KFC and they wouldn't let me use the toilet so I pissed on their wall. What a shithole.
