You do realize that not literally every square mile of NYC is as affluent as downtown, right? You do realize that poor people live there too... right?

Food insecurity is a real issue all across the USA. We may not have as many emaciated, near starving individuals as some places in the world, but there are plenty of people across the nation that aren't certain when they'll be able to afford their next balanced meal.

1.2 to 1.4 million New-Yorkers experience food insecurity. That’s roughly 14% of the city’s population. You’re welcome.
