That's not true, in a just world the rich would provide tax revenue and charitable donations. They're also supposed to set an example for the poor.

That’s what us poor and lower class guys have to do. We have to pay for upkeep first before we can pay for luxuries. It’s called budgeting, maybe NYC should try it.
Silly point, municipal and personal finance are two nearly completely unrelated things, this is an argument for austerity and you absolutely should not support austerity.

No. But I do support funding for the poor first and foremost. If you try doing it backwards your problems will multiply. You take care of the poor first, then everything else. If there’s not enough money to do those extra things then you don’t do those extra things if it means the rural poor upstate will get shafted

Well, Northeast coastal and West Coast cities. Cities like Dallas seem to be attracting people. Also the high cost of living doesn't help in those places either. Hell, people are worse off in NYC today than they were in the 90's on average iirc when you account for the cost of living spike. Shit I'm not leaving my city, why would I? My money goes way, way further here than it would in a place like NYC or Toronto. If I want to watch Broadway, I'll just pop in my copy of Cats or go there on vacation at some point.

Who do you think uses public transportation? Maintaining and expanding public transport is critical for low income households to be able to get to work.

True. Cities like Atlanta, Dallas, and Phoenix are all attracting people

This was more about how rich people wouldn't be charitable and further would let their desire for wealth to corrupt their moral decisions. This doesn't apply to all rich people, some of whom do give quite generously in charity nor let their wealth corrupt their moral compass.
If people didn't establish companies where would people work?
People who get rich have just as much a hand in their success as the people who work for them. Come on man.

Yes, but it's not exactly the wealthy who rely on public transportation. Expansions of those tend to benefit the urban poor.
