The three articles together bring a depiction of the city similar to that of co-location for public and charter schools. By this I mean that the same problem of having the better funded and highly refurbished charter schools literally with in a drawn line’s distance from a public school full of broken books and underfunded […]

We’ve talked about income inequality and the income gap in our previous topics, but these articles specifically talk about it in NYC. CCN’s article really put perspective in how “the rich are getting richer.” I knew that NYC would have a large income gap, but it was shocking to see barely any income growth among […]

The data shows it, and the majority agrees: there is a large gap between the incomes of the rich and the poor. The difference in views is only present during debates about whether or not this gap is a problem that we need to solve. The main arguments for those who see this gap as […]

Today’s articles discussed income inequality in New York City. Although the numbers were truly troublesome, I don’t think they paint the whole picture of the situation.

I forget which episode and who the guest was, but this is from The Colbert Report. Stephen Colbert, in his character as Stephen Colbert, stated that the people below him can not get any thing […]

From just reading the titles of the articles we were to read for this class, I could deduct my own statements regarding income inequality in New York City. Including all of the five boroughs, Manhattan would house the richest New Yorkers and the poorest would hail from the Bronx or Brooklyn. It came of no […]

Class 8: Rich Giving Back – What’s in it For Them?   Finishing the articles, I find myself trapped between two opposing opinions in the matter. There is no doubt that the existence of the wealthy has provided benefits to all citizens, no matter rich or poor, in New York City. By handing in large […]

I remember seeing this interactive map in IDC People of NYC class – we went over various stops along the “D” train and compared the different neighborhoods.
