New York, Progress, And The Price Of Staying
Manage episode 518210267 series 2930329
Progress in New York now means telling working families to pack up and leave—because affordability is a privilege, not a right.
In the latest Rant Network episode, we clash over whether skyrocketing rents and living costs are simply “capitalism at work” or a crisis that demands intervention. From frozen rents to shuttered mom-and-pop shops, the debate exposes a deeper divide: is the solution to move out, or to fix a broken system? Our fiery exchange puts generational entitlement, economic reality, and political promises under the microscope.
