From an uptown apartment
To a knife on the A train
It’s not that far
From the sharks in the penthouse
To the rats in the basement
It’s not that far
It’s my hometown. I pray for NYC. No decent person would get elected mayor of the abortion capitol of tge US. Rudy has to declare allegiance to abortion. He Ran as a dem I believe then switched. He fixed the city. Cleaned it up text book level from the crime infested murder capitol to the decent place it was and the residents hated him. Called him a nazi
The worst example I know is Detroit.
It used to be one of the riches cities. 2.4 mil inhabitants. In 1960 the last Republican Mayor lost (quite unexpectedly) the election. Since then the 60 years of Democratic rule left it a shell of itself, not even able to remove the abandoned properties. Shrunk to like 800 thousands, if you are generous.
But there are thriving cities right next to it. It is actually quite crazy, the city limits are easily visible, on one side nice, clean, new buildings, on the other dilapidated old houses, which have not seen the paint for like 50 years.
I can just feel the pain of somebody who bough himself nice new house in 1960 Detroit and was left with nothing!
They all expect a massive bailout from Biden.
NY City is only at the start of its descent. The ideology that put them on this path is still fully in control of people’s minds and the organs of power there. They will enter a state of “denial” and will double-down on their insanity.
I expect over the next two years we will see a cascade of serious budget problems, political strife, and severe social and public order problems.
Good riddance. I look forward to the day when Central Park covers the whole island of Manhattan.
It's almost like NYC has been cursed since the day Donald Trump changed his official place of residence to Florida.
Economists and economic professors almost always side with the left.
NYCers say, “Greatest city in the world.” Not.
Correct.
maybe it’s time for the commissioner to use the batman bat signal light... 😎
And they'll get the bailout with only a few squeaks from the seersucker suit crowd in the GOPe.
are the big cities in europe/asia also dying
God bless you.
I hear people copping out all over this forum.
And the democrats became masters of it.
Holy Crapshoot, batMan!! Where’d they all go??
Philly did the same when their mayor cancelled the Mummers Parade. They got away with it cause they called it a protest.
Cities were attractive locations not for all of course but they had benefits. 2020 appears to be the beginning of something cruel and evil. The Democrats true colors were shown. I don’t know Detroit from first-hand knowledge but have read countless accounts. I traveled as part of my profession and oftentimes experienced city life. From acquiring the history of our country in places like Boston, Philadelphia and DC, to enjoying regional cuisines, to seeing various skylines of San Francisco, Chicago and New York and as a younger man activating other interests, city life isn’t the recommended option anymore.
Note to Gotham: Philly’s got bigger ones.
De Blasio to New York:
