Or Is He Just Trying to Scare the Rest of Us Away?

I see that Forbes ranks New York as the fourth most miserable city in the United States (link). For a short time in the 90s, I had an office (at Cardozo Law School) in NYC from which I could across the street and down into Steve Forbes’ office (made for cool classroom hypos when I taught insider trading). On my evening strolls, I would often admire his two-zillion foot yacht up at the Chelsea Pier.

Would Forbes' presence in the Big Apple count as an amelioration of NYC’s lowly status, or does it aggravate? A bug, or a feature?

They’re right about Stockton and Modesto, though…
