We hear about all those people doing a reverse commute into White Plains. The implication is that White Plains is so popular that people living in Manhattan are traveling north to work in good paying office jobs and that some day they may move to White Plains into a luxury apartment yet to be built.
But where are they living now?
1. Southern Westchester
2. Manhattan
3. The Bronx
4. Queens
5. Brooklyn
6. Staten Island?
And what jobs do they have, especially those streaming down Hamilton Avenue and Main Street from the train station at 11AM? At that time they probably work in a restaurant or retail store. Can they afford a luxury apartment even in White Plains? Or would they need to form groups, sort of like a college dorm? Are these the millennials upon whom city planners are counting, the ones who will pay taxes and not drive cars?
Will they want to live near the train station/bus depot?
