What do you mean ‘becoming?’ It is! This is a town where money is an illusion. People drive around in $250,000 Lamborghinis by day, and then sleep in them by night because they can’t afford an apartment. I wasted almost 10 years of my life there and can’t figure out what makes that place run. Glad to be back in the madness of Manhattan.

As for immigration policy – what part of the word ILLEGAL don’t people understand? So, I’ll pay more for my lettuce. Gladly, because I will pay far less in taxes to support these criminal border jumpers. Pay itinerant workers who allegedly won’t do the jobs that illegals do better money, REPEATEDLY ENFORCE stiff fines to anyone who knowingly hires an illegal. Eventually, they can’t work and will jump the border back to Mexico. I am not racist and this is not a racism issue. I’m the child of an immigrant and it is our diversity that makes us great. But if you want to live here? Get in line like everyone else. Having to constantly explain this is just ridiculous and effin tiresome.
