are there still rough and tumble "downtown guys" who pine after pampered, spoiled "uptown girls"

Power and institutional money has moved downtown to the point where in reality there’s no difference between uptown and downtown but the legacy of the “ideas” of both still exist to a certain extent.

There are still plenty of poor "downtown" guys in NYC. However, outside of City-owned projects, almost none of them actually live below 110th street in Manhattan. Plenty of "downtown" guys in the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, and Jersey.

Most downtown guys have been replaced by the willingness of finance bros to live downtown (in the past they all commuted from uptown or outside the city) and the explosive growth of Chinatown.

A few 50+ year old downtown guys live in rent-controlled or rent-stabilized apartments. They're retired from sort of physical labor or city job, collecting disability, social security, and pensions. They're entitled to a 5-figure annual housing subsidy through a combination of luck and accepting the risk of living in downtown NYC in the '70s or '80s. This combo might look pretty good to a divorced/widowed uptown girl who is high on class, low on annual cash flow.

"uptown girl" = dumbo kike with MFA from NYU

"downtown man" = crane operator from newark

Billy Joel was a pathetic Long Islander with no grasp of the geography of MFH

The term "Downtown Girl" would've been too suggestive, anyway
