That's not a solution for them, with their preferences and needs. You don't seem to grasp a fundamental issue: Your needs are not a universal truth; they are only yours (and whoever happens to share them). New Yorkers really have different preferences; they don't want what you want, any more than vice-versa.

And while they make the best choice they can, they can still have problems with it - what in the world works out otherwise? Jobs? Elections? Anything?

for a multi-millionaire, living off of 500k is not a solution for them.

no one gives a shit, seriously. This is the worlds tiniest violent playing for those who refuse to adjust to not having as much resources as they'd like to have.

oh man, I'm so turrble, telling them they should probably live as if they're only half-millionaries.

offly enough, reality doesn't give a shit.

I have no idea what you are talking about. You seem to be responding to a person or counterpoint you are thinking about, but I don't see here on HN. Anyway, have a good one!

This is one of those situations where people make claims but that doesn't make them valid.

If a multi-millionaire cannot accept a solution that has them living like someone worth 500k, maybe the issue is with them as the vast majority of people survive while being worth far less.

But hey, repeat how you just can't understand what I'm saying, I'm sure enough people will believe that to make it worth saying.
