1. I found it interesting that people are constantly immigrating to the city as well as leaving the city, therefore changing the demographics of New York City. However, does the changing demographics result simply from this, or are issues such as the gentrification of the Upper East Side included? Wouldn’t this mean that as non-hispanics move in, hispanics must move out? Where are they going if they aren’t necessarily leaving the city?

2. The idea that there is no average New Yorker. New York is diverse enough that it is difficult to pin point who makes up the majority. The contrast between NYC and my suburban home town only 30 minutes north of Manhattan is incredibly drastic, where in my home town I’d calculate that a solid 80% of my school was Italian or Irish.
