Responding a bit to some
of the comments here, I guess what's weird is that there is a shifting and somewhat contradictory narrative about urban hellholes going on. For a long time the narrative has been "urban hellhole filled with criminal welfare receiving minorities where you will be instantly shot to death if you walk outside." And now that narrative runs simultaneously with the "urban elitists on Sex and the City who ride subways to work." It's fascinating gibberish.
