It wouldn’t surprise me if part of the “War on Inequality” were ordinances making it financially prohibative for the affluent and companies to flee the city. Major “exit taxes” on moves originating from the city. Coupled with union action/intimidation.
Deblasio is an a**, but he isn’t dumb. He knows that if the people who can afford to flee actually flee, his socialist schemes run out of other peoples’ money much faster than they would otherwise and the whole thing collapses on his head.
He’ll have some plan to imprison current residents and companies in the city. Count on it.
Do you think he has thought that far ahead ?
