Where Politicians Find NYC Bread

A Manhattan Upper East Side zip code, formerly 10021 (now 10021, 10065 & 10075), gives the most money to politicians and into political coffers. In this blue city, most donations wind up with Democrats, not Republicans. Over the last two years in fact, the NYC metro area raised $144.6 million compared to Washington D.C., $121 million and Los Angeles in third place with $73 million. New York City. It's quite a place for politicians to find bread for all the baloney they serve us during election seasons.

The Reality Check Is In The Mail

The Upper East Side’s 10021 Zip Code was where New York’s "wealthiest of the wealthy" once lived. Last year, the United States Post Office divided 10021 into three Zip Codes; 10021, 10065 and 10075. Today, 10065 is where the city's wealthiest residents proudly call home. Rich socialites who once coveted a 10021 residence now find themselves living on the wrong side of the local Starbucks. Let’s hope our well-heeled neighbors in 10021 can cope with their unwelcome mediocrity, all thanks to the USPS.
