Ignore the he/hims. Listen to me. You should move or learn to love what NYC is. It is the only truly dense, walkable, transit-rich city in the US. That is its destiny, for better and for worse, and you should go literally anywhere else in the US if you don't like it.

It would be far better to solve the problem of low birth rates without perpetually bringing in a low trust, low education cultural underclass to do the dirty work. As for the lowest paid jobs, continue finding ways to increase automation, and pay better those that remain.

It is important to ‘both sides’ it even if one side does it more, or more effectively. One reason is to encourage honesty across the board rather than just do another partisan attack. A second reason is that the bias of one side FEEDS the other side. It’s an amplifying loop.

Three things were "natural" in pre-history:

2. polygamy (high status male has multiple partners)
3. raiding neighboring tribes, killing the men and taking the women into captivity to breed.
One raid can wipe out a tribe's male line after 10 generations of monogamy.
