[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in this neighborhood which 25 plus years ago was a working-class Italian neighborhood that has now gentrified. And while NYC is expensive, I can tell you that anyone who thinks they can't make it here on 850k is not only entitled af but a f--ing idiot to boot. Yes, it takes a little planning and research to get your kid into something other than the school for which you're zoned, but there are plenty of good NYC public elementary schools, and once the kids hit 6th or 8th grade, they can test into the city's most competitive high schools (Hunter College High School starts in 7th grade). Especially if you're an aspiring actor/dancer/musician, there is no reason to go anywhere except for LaGuardia--if in fact you can get in.

I also don't understand why people feel so entitled to spawn and then complain when their finances can't cover everything for which they want to pay. Why is this person having a third kid? And what if the baby ends up with the kind of special needs that means having to put all of one's resources into therapies, etc.?

There isn’t (or shouldn’t be) anything special about having a third child. That it’s such a financial burden is an indictment of NYC policy and quality of life. That so many think the Redditor shouldn’t have children says a lot about their values. [/quote]

The world is overpopulated, and those of us who live in "first world" countries use up a very disproportionate share of the earth's resources. So no, people shouldn't be having more than two biological children, especially dimwitted, entitled lawyers who think that 850k in NYC equals poverty yet continue to spawn anyway.[/quote]
