No, i'm telling you there are many well-off people who think anyone who isn't as rich as them should not exist and view anyone the top 5% of incomes as subhuman scum.
those are the people that go to the cultural events, and they don't want disgusting poor people near them.
ok, you should go down to a poor area and start lecturing those people how they should live their lives. see how they respond.
There are rich people who think the poor should be exterminated, but they're (hopefully) a minority and not likely the people in this thread.
I really don't think those ultra rich snobs are the people going to see a local band play to 75 people in a bar. "Cultural events" doesn't exclusively mean like Opera and Broadway. It's also "three people put out an EP and are playing it live at Stingy Pete's tonight. Tickets are PWYW, $5 recommended"
No one here is lecturing the poor about how to live their lives. The argument was that poor people should be allowed to live in cities, if they desire, in part because there are many nice things that come with living in a city.
poor people never could live in cities. because they have the stuff rich people want, and they push out the poor people.
and the people who live in impoverished neighborhoods in urban areas, also don't have access to any of that.
because those things all require lots of money. where i live opera tickets are cheaper than going to see a local band in a bar. but both are going to be a minimum spend of 50-80 dollars.
Many poor people live in cities.
People who live in poorer parts of New York City, at least, can take a bus or train to other parts.
I don't know where you live but one of the popular bars near me in NYC is $18 for a show tonight. They also have a free DJ show of some sort. A smaller spot that does shows I know of has one for $14. That's just two spots I know off hand. There are many more.
I feel like you're messaging me from some other world. I'm mostly speaking from living in NYC. Where you you speaking from?
