"How"? Maybe you should ask, "WHY". And direct that question, first, to Mister Patriot, Sean Hannity, who bemoans the "fact" that he just cannot bring himself to move out of the NYC metro. Tucker broadcast from Maine ... Rush broadcast from Florida ... Breitbart News streams from wherever the on-air anchor is at the moment. Heck, I can build a "studio" in my office for the cost of a decent mic and some acoustic baffle panels. But Li'l Sean? Naaahhhh.
When you have the kind of money he does, it can be Paradise. He is a New Yorker in his soul ( not to mention his worst of the worse voice and accent).
I was born and raised in Brooklyn. I lived in a northern suburb of the city for 30 years until 10 years ago.
New York, especially from back in the day never leaves your soul. You meet another New Yorker from your era and you understand and connect to each other despite different ethnic or religious background, despite different educational level. Nothing can describe it, so I don't expect others to understand.
I think if I had Hannitys money, I would still be there, atleast for half the year.
Maybe you can explain to me why the Orthodox Jews in NY who seem to have many conservative values always vote for the democrats. They are so numerous they could swing many an election but it never happens. And even when they are victimized by the criminals!
Trust me, I see the writing on the wall and I’d already be out of NY state, but my 93 yr old mom won’t budge - not even to escape the winters. She’s my #1 priority, so here I stay. I understand not wanting to move at that age.
How anyone continues to live in that city is beyond me.

What you express is nothing remarkable to NYC. Natives of Seattle, Pittsburgh, and li'l ole Podunk usually feel the same about their home towns.

Don't 'Orthodox Jews' follow the Talmud? Maybe the answer can be found there?

It is beautiful and very expensive. The rich dont ride the subways.
In the boroughs, people have roots.
