Too bad, Mr Mayor, that you spent NYC money unwisely. You wasted the taxpayers money and NOW you will pay for that. You are in over your head.

>>When I toured Manhattan in 2019, the same thing occurred to me. A huge percentage of the jobs there these days are people sitting at computers. Those jobs could easily be done in a lot of other places a lot cheaper.<<

Currently, at my company, everyone is working from home. We handle everything by video conference, Microsoft Teams chats, etc.

People might just get sufficiently used to it, that we might stay this way, and question the need for our big building.

Those were restricted funds. They had to be used for COVID. Cuomo wants billions in unrestricted funds. He wants that mainly so he can erase the 5 billion budget shortfall he had before the pandemic.
