We need NYC people to remain there and not spread it.

They are Wuhan, Milan and Daegu of the U.S.

The people of NYC are royally screwed. Most apartments there are tiny compared to the suburbs. Much tougher than home owners with room to walk without getting close to people.

Our neighborhood in PA is brimming with life. People walking, jogging, bicycling. Kids in tow. It's been great that the weather has permitted this. 70 and sunny today.

NYC is a festering pit. I once lived in Upstate. It is the same thing as “fly over” country. Funny how the POS Wilhelm will get money equivalent to what his dyke wife “lost”.

I guess “lock her up” is a distant musing now.

"The people of NYC are royally screwed. Most apartments there are tiny compared to the suburbs."

Yeah, but those tiny apartments will be freeeeeeeee!

On Thursday, March 19th, Senator Michael Gianaris from Queens called for a 90-day rent suspension for all residential and commercial tenants who have been impacted by the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) crisis.

Without rent payments, how are rental property owners expected to pay for their mortgages, property taxes, water bills, and other operating expenses?

I lived on Long Island when I was between 10-12 years old. It was a crazy shit hole in 1979. I hated it. Of course I moved there from rural GA. They assumed I was retarded, didn’t own shoes, held slaves, was a member of the KKK, couldn’t read, and never saw indoor plumbing before. Tried to move me back a grade without even testing me. No joke. I will say it was the first place I saw transvesites, homos, militant feminists, morally/intellectually superiorJews, racism, tribalism, ethnic neighborhoods, no school busses, no lunch rooms, gangs, ... you get the point. NY was so superior in their own minds and to. 10 year old so crazy.

Needles to say, I still don’t like Yankees.

I think New York deserves being labeled a disaster about 50 years ago.

Yep. WHY exactly do they need money? Everything is shut down, and people are told to stay home. Is NYC coming up with a shot to help?

This is why the media screams “PANIC” and the left jump on board...MONEY to steal from us. Period. Just like everything else they want money for to “help”...they stuff it in their pockets or use it for peddling influence.
