Good Golly Miss Marmelstein, are we having a cranky morning? LOL! Given enough time NYC will crumble to ruins regardless of who is in charge and that is an indisputable fact. Corrupt liberal Democrats and their associated “socialist” policies have the capability to greatly accelerate the process as we have seen with Detroit. But I do apologize profusely for causing you distress this morning.
It is not going to happen as much as you would hope. It is the international headquarters of business and finance that survived 9/11. Its top industries are financial services, scientific & tech services, healthcare, retail, food trade, advertising, insurance and real estate. Fashion, film and theater, art and other cultural endeavors are centered here. Add to that the thousands upon thousands of mom & pop, small businesses that run like a river through the entire city and you have a town very much unlike Detroit which really had one industry going for it.
You only cause yourself distress by being abysmally ignorant. Prejudice is not knowledge.
