Is New York Trending Repubican

[ηєω ƒяσηтιєя]

I think there are three areas: there's also Long Island.  Outside of Brooklyn, why would you consider Long Island (Nassau County and Suffolk County) to be part of greater New York?

Absolutely. There are really 3 areas:

Urban NYC (New York, Kings, Queens, Bronx): 7,706,403 people--84% Clinton, 16% Trump

Suburban NYC (Richmond, Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, Rockland): 4,562,412 people--52% Clinton, 48% Trump

Upstate NY (The Rest): 7,109,287 people--52% Trump, 48% Clinton

NYC could maybe hit 90% Dem, but that would be hard. Upstate will continue trending R. It's the suburbs that will determine the trend, and there seems to be a split in trend between the Westchester area vs Staten/Long Islands.

The Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens are actually mixed between urban and suburban.

The farther away from Manhattan you go, the more surburban it gets and the closer to Manhattan you go, the more urban it gets. This applies to all 3 boroughs (The Bronx, Brooklyn & Queens).

Eastern Queens has a pretty suburban character, but it's really hard to call the Bronx and Brooklyn "suburban" IMO.

Um, you obviously didn't see the part where I say that they are "mixed".

I live in Brooklyn, I know what I'm talking about.

Hey, there's no need to be a prick.   The Bronx and Brooklyn are among the most "urban" places in the US outside of Manhattan itself.  Philadelphia, Chicago, DC etc. are "mixed" too if you're going to make that argument.

Huh? How was I being a prick lol?. I wasn't and if you felt that I was then, that wasn't my intention.

Also, The Bronx and Brooklyn are urban of course. However, if you drive a few more minutes then you'll find yourself in neighborhoods where it looks just like many suburbs in America (i.e. Riverdale in The Bronx and Mill Basin in Brooklyn).

You also can't compare NYC to other cities. The 5 boroughs are connected by bridges, underground subway tunnels and a ferry. There's also a reason why those of us who live in the outer boroughs often say that "we're going into the city" when we're going to Manhattan.

That's because Manhattan is not just urbanized but COMPLETELY urbanized. There are no parts of Manhattan where you can find suburban like homes like how you can find in the outer boroughs.

In a way, the outer boroughs are suburbs of Manhattan.

Up until 1898, Manhattan was exclusively "New York City". Brooklyn was a completely seperate city, The Bronx was apart of Westchester County and Queens was apart of Nassau County. In 1898, there was consolidation that made Brooklyn renounce it's city status, a part of Nassau County would break away and become Queens, and a part of Westchester County would break away and become The Bronx. This is how the 5 boroughs and modern NYC came to be.
