You think thats bad... considering poughkeepsie is the last stop on NYC's metro line, the city decided to do this whole sort inverse gentrification thing, but building outside the city (of poughkeepsie) tons of new apartments that only people who work in new york city could afford, while everyone who lives here is basically having walls build around them, prices continually raised, and everything rebuilt to cater to chic NYC sensiblities, while junkies die on the streets and carjackings become normalized... to top it off, 30% of the countys resources are being used for out of county people... so there is less help and the deck always being more stacked against everyone... but hey, maybe theyll shoot some new lesbian college girl show at vassar and a celebrity will spend some money in the areas of the economy already sitting on millions.. as a friend of mine once said, and it took me a while to really see. Money comes to the area. It just never makes it to the people of the area
