Hot take but unfortunately most of Manhattan below 59th is a theme park these days.
To an extent, it’s an inevitability when you’re talking about a tourism heavy city plus large swaths that exist almost entirely for day job commuters. But that also means that the white collar worker coming in from New Jersey often has a longer commute than the service worker coming in from low income housing in the outer boroughs so the dynamic isn’t always the same as what the tweet is getting at.
Yeah broadly I think your point is still correct.
