As a New York Jew, Philip Kalikman has an honorary PhD in complaining. He also has a real PhD in economics and a BA in math. He lived a decade on the Upper West Side and continues to think cities are humanity’s greatest invention (and New York the greatest thereof). Philip is the most capitalist of his socialist friends and the most social of his capitalist friends. (Also the most socialist.) He will cuss you out if you try to pull some “you’re not a real New Yorker” bullshit. When not ranting, Philip is a professor^* of finance and real estate, a nonprofit board director, and a mortal threat to your coffee supply.
