I don't think it made it into the cut! But make it and I might even break down for Nebula.

Plus maybe the widest gap between average rents and incomes of any big city in the country? Might be even worse than Miami in your bottom-10 affordability lists.

I am begging you, someone, anyone, to do some work focused on the true forgotten borough: the Bronx. There's so much to say about its urban design/history and so little of it gets told.

To scratch the surface: the Cross-Bronx Expressway, Parkchester, Co-Op City, and the saga of the South Bronx.

In addition, I do think there is serious social value in having a personal tie to a business or two near you. Bonus points if it's a tie that goes beyond just one generation. Social fabric is a massive American weak point and that really is a contributing factor IMO.
