VC Head Behind "Civilizational Crisis" Chart Sounds Alarm On NYC's Descent
Remember the "critical civilizational" chart we posted a few months back? The percentage of 30-year-olds in the U.S. who are both married and homeowners – spanning from 1950 to a projected 2025 – has crashed. That data came from Nathan Halberstadt of the venture firm New Founding.

This time, Halberstadt has posted a series of X posts about New York City and how the Democratic Party's mass-migration NGOs have funneled the world into the city. With "Commie Mamdani" likely to win the slot to become the next mayor of America's city, this eye-opening data reveals what Democrats have been orchestrating for years: the transformation of NYC into a third-world.

"38% of NYC's current population is foreign-born. And remember, this is publicly available migration data from the mayor's office. The reality is almost certainly far worse," Halberstadt wrote in an X post.

In terms of country of origin, there's been a recent flood of migrants from Dominican Republic, China, Jamaica, and other related countries. Notably, zero European countries are named in the figure, a sharp contrast with historical American migration patterns and cultural identity.

What this might suggest, as one X user put it, is that more "Escape from NY incoming." This could give even more momentum to the "Wall Street of the South" – Florida – as well as to the continued rise of Texas. Financial firms are certainly taking note of the "Commie Mamdani" Marxist threat and the degradation of NYC into a third-world state.
