The $25BILLION empty vessel in the heart of Manhattan: Eerie photos show Hudson Yards has been all but abandoned amid New York City crisis - despite its luxury retailers reopening to customers
UK Daily Mail ^ | September 17, 2020 | Andrew Court

Hudson Yards, known as the most expensive real estate project in American history, lays all but abandoned amid the country's coronavirus pandemic.

The $25 billion complex, located on Manhattan's West Side, was once touted as the most exciting new attraction in New York City.

But just 18 months after its initial opening - and four years out from its expected completion date - the 18 million square foot development resembles a ghost town.

I notice that Fox no longer shows shots of the street outside their HQ. It has been basically empty for months.

$3.3 billion of taxpayer money tied up in that.

Lunatics figured in $19 bil in annual revenue from the thing.

So taxpayers are in the hole at least $19 billion this year because you can bet NYC had already budgeted and spent that money...

Democrats, Schumer, Pelosi, Cuomo & De Blasio have killed off New York City for many years to come. I blame them for this insanity but...I really blame the voters of New York City & State that voted these butt wipes into office.

American voters take a good hard look at NYC....because if you elect Joe Biden & Kamala Harris, POTUS & VP, the entire USA will be just like NYC is today in less then two years.

American voters...you all the masters of your own destiny and future. Treat and cast your votes wisely, for Trump.Pence,GOP!!!

I would also say that even if people WERE around, who in their right mind would go to a place like that which could result in being accosted by, at best, obnoxious fascist Leftists with megaphones, and at worst, obnoxious, fascist, violent Leftists with matches and weapons.

Bill the commie is termed out next year. The good people of N.Y. will either keep him or elect an even more craven Marxist. If that’s possible.

Last I heard there is a homeless person living outside their studio window, living in one of those blue tarp shopping cart things. So that probably explains why they no longer use that view.

That’s funny. Not

reminds me of May of 2009 in Mexico during the WTF ever flu that was, which was suppose to end humanity.

Every...Thing .... Was ... Closed...

Was staying in Puerto Aventura. Decided to go to Cancun, since there wouldn’t be any crowds.

The three story mall was open but, there wasn’t anyone there.

Left because the scene was surreal and too eerie .

Went back to Puerto Aventura and enjoyed beach which empty.

Oh...No one I know got sick and died of whatever the scary disease was...

That’s crazy.
They should use this time to film some dystopic future scenes for a movie.

In 1993, NYC elected Rudy to be mayor. In 2001, they elected Bloomberg. Both were tough as hell on crime and NYC was literally a safe place to visit, with lower murder rates than a number of US states.

Then they elected Deblasio in 2013, and the downward spiral began, and it had to, he literally PROMISED to take NYC where it’s going.

The people who invest billions in our cities have to decide whether to pay attention to local politics. My guess is that they chose not to. They chose to build the kind of place that would have been fine and made a fortune in a city run by Bloomberg or Rudy...but those days were gone in the 2013 election. So, now, hundreds of billions of dollars, probably even trillions, invested in our cities without regard to who is being elected there, is GONE, along with our cities (not that I care all that much, but I did enjoy visiting NYC).

The wealthy liberals have evacuated for new places to mold into their vision of utopia.

Why do they have those tables and chairs? Is that a restaurant?

Seems appropriate that the photo shows the US Flag flying at half-staff. Any idea if the flag flying below it is BLM?

Go to the article and scroll down. That exterior of that building looks like something from China. It’s as if this is a message that the Chinese takeover of America has failed.
