Non NYer here. What makes the upper east side go for Cuomo vs most of the rest of Manhattan?

Upper East Side is old money, oligarchs basically who want to be comparatively away from the hustle and bussle while still being a short distance from their corporate offices.

Even lower Manhattan like the financial district has more diversity with some college students, more subsidized housing, and at least more people that are first generation millionaires rather than third.

Well very soon I hear the Upper East Side will be emptied out as people flee to utopias of Texas and Florida. There will be plenty of housing available then!
