re: #63 RogueOne

I wonder why the numbers in Manhattan are 20% higher than the rest of the city. Anything in the numbers to suggest why?

Partly it’s that Manhattanites are more liberal than people in the outer boroughs.

And partly it’s that Manhattanites are the ones who’d actually be in a position to make use of a community center in lower Manhattan. We’re the ones who’d be going to the lecture series or film series, or swimming in their pool, or taking cooking classes or belly dance classes, or renting the event space that costs 1/10 as much as a banquet hall at the Hilton, or dumping our grandmas there during heat waves to enjoy the air conditioning, or putting our kids in playgroups too large for our homes when it’s too cold to take them to the park…
