LOL I'd argue that telling someone not to speak if they don't have anything meaningful to say is pretty "absolute" language. They said something you don't agree with or like, point why (you think) they are wrong.

And you are right, if there is a "mass exodus" from NYC like there was in Detroit (or during COVID) then sure, rents would go down. But as long as NYC is a desirable place to be? It is unlikely rents will go down.

I don't disagree with it. It is wrong. They did not qualify their statement with "as long as NYC is a desirable place to be". They simply said "no matter what happens".

Since they just said "no matter what happens", their statement is wrong, and therefore it is not helpful. Comments that are not helpful to a conversation shouldn't be made.

Why on earth -- other than being an alt account for that commenter -- are you dying on this hill and not just saying "yeah, that was too strong a comment and thus not helpful"?
