I feel like the author of this piece doesn't have a grip on the reality of 90% of Americans, or more.

Fortunately, 90% of Americans don't live in New York.
Unfortunately New York isn't the only place pricing people out of a home.

By the way, About 2% of Americans live in New York City alone. At least 1% are not having a great time with rent that outstrips their potential earnings.

As long as we're being pedants, it's actually more like 2.6% (8.406 / 318.9) of Americans who live in NYC.

The author does have a grip on reality, I think it's just they aren't talking about what you want them to talk about.

I don't think that opening with an insult is in the spirit of what this site is about, do you?
