God, do I hate living here. I need a synonym for dumb people who live in urban areas. I know Rube applies to rural folk, but city folk deserve their mark of shame.

Cuomo's proposal to provide free college tuition to public college students from families with households with family incomes of up to $125,000 is even more popular, the poll found.
Seven out of every 10 New Yorkers support the plan, while just 26% oppose it, including 54% of Republicans, the poll found.
The best part.........

While tuition would be provided through the Excelsior Scholarship and supplement existing state and federal loans and grants, students would be responsible for room, board and other fees:
SUNY Non-Tuition Costs
Room and Board: $12,590
Fees: $1,590
Books & Supplies: $1,340
Total = $15,520 (excludes personal expenses of $1,560 and transportation expenses of $1,080)
CUNY Non-Tuition Costs (for a student living away from home)
Room and Board: $10,386
Fees: $640
Books & Supplies: $1,364
Total = $12,390 (excludes personal expenses of $4,208 and transportation expenses of $1,054)
Community Colleges Non-Tuition Costs
Room and Board: $10,380
Fees: $630
Books & Supplies: $1,320
Total = $12,300 (excludes personal expenses of $1,160 and transportation expenses of $1,280)
Requirements
Free tuition is not available to all New Yorkers. To qualify, there are several requirements to receive free tuition:
New York resident for at least the past year
Full-time student at SUNY, CUNY or community college
Your family (or you and your spouse) must earn an adjusted gross income less than $100,000 in 2017 (the income threshold increases to $110,000 in 2018 and $125,000 in 2019).
"A college education is not a luxury – it is an absolute necessity for any chance at economic mobility, and with these first-in-the-nation Excelsior Scholarships, we’re providing the opportunity for New Yorkers to succeed, no matter what zip code they come from and without the anchor of student debt weighing them down," Cuomo said in a statement.
