Telling people to just move elsewhere hasn’t worked so far. Good luck with that strategy.

It's really the only answer. Everyone can't just live wherever they want. You gotta pay to play. (Unless you're seeking asylum of course)

Unfortunately virtually every major city says the same thing and that’s why this is a problem nationwide. People can’t just all move to Utica where the lackluster economy is the reason for the cheap rent.

Every city/state that saw the slightest influx of people during the pandemic is now saying the same thing: Don’t come here.

It’s not a realistic response to increased demand. Just have to build more housing.

On Zillow my UES is a sea of rentals. The average income is well into the 6 figures.

People want $700 a month apartment, it’s unrealistic, but it’s their hill to die on for them.

NYC has the greatest amenities in the world, to have that all $0? Just don’t that’s possible. Figure that should average out to about $50 extra a day vs living in Cincinnati.

Wouldn't Dubai have greater amenities?
