People do commute from outside but they are irrelevant. Do you think more NYC residents rent or own?

They are not irrelevant. If they didn’t have to commute they would be able to vote in local elections.

Property owners vote at much higher rates than non-owners. Property owners are the only ones with the right to put up election signs. Property owners are far more politically connected than non-owners.
