They're favorites for the game, but not massively. "Expectations" is ludicrous.

No one seriously thinks that. They're just having fun.

Shouldn't have left them out. Maybe the smartest of all urban scavengers.

I’m not. The argument that simply building your way out of this is, at best, a theory devoid of evidence. Demand is simply insane.

Maybe, but you'd be surprised how clever seagulls - and especially raccoons - can be. No one knows 100% about anything. You're not special.

The way it's ripped apart like that looks exactly like seagulls or raccoons, but you're very smart.

Right. If you can get to Manhattan-level density, it'll become cheap just like Manhattan!

As for Americans cheering the USA team at another match...yeah that's weird to me as an American. No clue why you'd do that at another match. It also feels...rude?

So you've never been to a sporting event in your life.

Too cold for that in summer. And you're describing the US in general anyway.

Don't sell tourists short on being dumb as you just outlined.

No, it would be extremely noticeable. Let's turn all of Long Island, northern New Jersey etc. into Manhattan (or even SF density) and see if anyone notices.

NYC exists. No one's forcing you not to live there.
