So good, I really dont think his bewilderment was an act. Like, "okay, I guess this is what Broadway dreams are made of." Also, I think he thought about offering the lady that spoke about healthcare a job.

LA is a car city so I see the point. New Yorkers, still, are just damn unique. Very chill and hard to impress. I think people are interesting and I'd watch this in all kinds of cities. But, again, New York does have a certain flair and there is no shortage of interesting, chatty people at every turn.

@Woodsy Owl Ya I'm sure it was Obama's fault that your mom's business tanked. It couldn't possibly be her fault. This is the problem, people don't take accountability for their own failures. The government is NOT going to bail you out unless you're a bank or a corporation. Get used to it bro.. things will be the same under Fuhrer Trump. Good luck paying $20 for an avocado.

[@SuperBluesify]

I always think it's hilarious when they say New Yorkers live in a bubble. You're saying the city that has gays living next to jews living next to black people living next to hispanics living next to muslims living next to hipsters living next to investment bankers living next to immigrants living next to every group out there is confined in its cultural seclusion? Really? Like reallllyyyyy? I guess being from a white only town you must have so much more exposure outside world. Who lives in the bubble again?

[@b.a.s.mofficial3681]

NYC is SEGREGATED...especially by ethnicity. NYC is one of the most sexist and racist cities in the world. You need to know someone or have money to live there. It is just going to become and International city ..all five boroughs (all about conducting business and tourism)...and unless you have to do certain business there....no.you won't be able to live there.

[@roseviolet1]

BASM None of that is true. I'm from Texas and I moved to NYC 2 years ago. I knew no one. I'm an RN. I'm not rich, You are making all that up to try to prove a point that doesn't exist.

[@JohnWestIV]

There's wasn't much of what I'd call elitism in Queens or Brooklyn, but people that haven't lived there (or have only done a quick visit) have a skewed perception of NY.

[@tim.van.emmerloot]

@@b.a.s.mofficial3681 nah

[@Adam-zy9fv]

I think this comment articulates why the bubble point is at least somewhat valid. It's about more than just ethnicities and skin color, its about philosophies and ideologies. Thats the problem with the left, they focus way too much on shallow things like race. Most people in NYC THINK the same (as evidenced by voting patterns), even if they dont look the same

[@anrina]

[@astoriarego8304]

We live in a bubble in the sense that we live around more liberals. But we interact more with our neighbors here - we share walls, elevators, buses and subway cars with them. My community is much more diverse than the average American town - 50% nonwhite, 50% foreign born, and a high percentage of Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, Jewish, and other faiths. I also interact with people of all income levels thanks to the subway and other facets of urban life. Is someone who lives in a conservative, mostly-white, mostly-Christian town living in any less of a bubble?

[@route99]

Why are the people from the "Heartland" (wherever the F that is) NEVER told they live in a bubble? Because they do live in one. When your only experience with the outside world is a trip to the International House of Pancakes you need to broaden your horizons. And I've visited red stated extensively, even lived in one for a couple of years. I talk from experience, there's a lot nice people in flyover country, but not a lot of flexibility or free thinking.

[@dougtrav1]

route99 because the rest of America is that so called bubble. The bubble surrounding New York is unique to the city to some degree

[@jamestherockwilson3931]

Maybe the bubble isn't a location, maybe the bubble is actually what separates you from the 1%, mentally, financially and emotionally. It's easy for an old white man to judge people from his tower (literally) when he never experienced poverty or any struggle of that nature.

[@elijahculper5522]

I’m a Kansan. I’m not about to deny that I live in a bubble. People are obviously going to be out-of-touch with the concerns of people who live a dramatically different lifestyles. New Yorkers don’t care about gas prices. Here in Kansas, gas going up a few cents a gallon can really hurt people’s monthly budget. Kansans don’t care about gentrification. In New York, gentrification is destroying communities. We are out of touch with each other’s struggles because we just don’t have to face them. And issues that are tied to geography tend to disproportionally impact the working class because those are the people who can’t afford to solve their problems by traveling or importing. So the New Yorkers supporting environmental policies that would raise gas prices look cruel and elitist here in Kansas. And the Kansans who support land policies that would evict longtime tenants look cruel and elitist in New York.
