Cuomo and NYC officials would like to blame Covid-19 for the exodus out of the city, but, that exodus was happening for many years, albeit, at a slower pace before the pandemic.
But, let them claim another death due to coronavirus, that being the NYC economy. It’s always somebody else or something else to blame, and not the socialist policies that create the hostile environment that prevents the success of companies and people.
Cuomo “was never that Great”.
Cuomo’s getting screwed by Zoom, etc., with people realizing during the shutdown they never want to go to the office again. Sweet.
““They left. They left because of COVID.””
They left because of you, moron.
Once again, I can hear the voice of my buddy from Brooklyn saying "Ya think!?" Gosh, you enact policies and make public statements that are hostile towards you're wealthy residents and you wonder why they're suddenly no-longer your wealthy residents? Gosh I can't imagine why... :-/
Not in the suburbs. Prices rising. Some all cash.
Some politicians are trying to do the same with COVID-19.
One of our neighbors had some semi serious surgery and her grand daughter and 6 month old baby flew out to help in late Feb.. The GD was in finance and working/living in NYC.
The GD has been working from her new office at her grand parent’s granny home since mid April.
Everytime, she has thought about flying back to NYC, violence has broken out. As of this week, she is considering not flying back.
She, the baby and baby’s dad can live and work in a granny apartment at her grandparents for the cost of utilities. Their monthly NYC apartment rent is 5k per month plus utilities and other fees. The baby has bonded to his grandparents and they have bonded to him.
Before this CV BS is over, we will see adult children and their kids moving back into their parents/grandparents homes. Or the parents moving in with the kids to avoid nursing homes and sharing the cost of living.
The homeless are taking over the streets. A neighbor who was recently in the city said Penn Station looks like a homeless shelter. They are also taking over the subway cars.
People are disgusted by the filth, the inability to travel the subways safely and the spike in shootings. If you can't eat out or shop or go see play or feel safe walking the streets what is the point of being in NYC?
Is that show Million Dollar Listing Manhattan going to change it’s name to “You Name Your Price Listing?”
Clearly the problem is that DiBlasio hasn’t painted enough Black Lives Matter “murals” on the streets of New York City. Maybe he could cut a bit more out of the NYPD budget to fund more paint cans and rollers?
Those murals attract wealthy taxpayers like flowers attract bees.
More like Former Million Dollar Listings with Fags.
DiBlasio has destroyed the city.
This was totally predictable.
A good mayor can turn it around—but in the meantime it is wise for folks who can to skedaddle.
Best thing to do is, mass-murder some more people in nursing homes, cut police services, and raise taxes. Oh, and require masks, while playing favorites with which activities including business activities are permitted.
Yep. If they kept it to 2-4 weeks people would probably move back, then they realized they could use it against Trump and now realize they messed up.

Hoist by their own petard or in this case, flattened by their own lockdown.
why would they return to NY knowing that if they ever end up in a nursing home, the governor would send China Virus infected victims into the nursing home upon EO?
Democrats are working on laws that will give cities the power to tax people who move to the suburbs... Conservatives need to move out now while they still can.
Well, don’t forget the ending of the SALT federal tax deduction.
The rest of America used to rebate the ‘rich’ up to 50% ( an estimate) of their New York taxes.
But if “Mr. Rich” moves to Dogpatch he’d likely save enough in taxes to make it financially advantageous to take a big loss selling that loft.
And he’d want to do it before the market for lofts fell.
