Part of this country's problem is that people from New York City - Wall Streeters - don't think about the little guy who can't afford things.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In a city like New York, you're aware of the rich and poor.
It's really hard to be poor in New York - I was really poor when I lived in New York.
A New Yorker is anyone who has the guts to really live in the city.
I find it ironic how New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg is so focused on such small issues as drink sizes, while ignoring the massive infrastructure challenges in New York - lousy roads, third-world airports, traffic jams, etc.
New York is tough on lonely people.
I see a New York where people who are down on their luck can get back on the road to responsibility, a job and dignity.
This is kind of a uniquely New York experience, but when you can't afford an apartment nicer than the place you're renting, there's something so inherently depressing about it.
The trouble is that the average trader on Wall Street, he or she is so young, he doesn't even remember the recession of 2001, let alone the previous one.
You can't take the New York out of the girl. It's like a little country girl coming to the big city.
New York is for everybody; it's for the poor, it's for the middle-class, it's for the wealthy. We can't punish any one group and chase them away.
