I agree, between incompetent leadership in DeBlasio/Cuomo and the Kung Flu where people realized life was good without being in the city - the rotten apple is about to get more rotten.
I noticed a few months ago in my Amazon Prime video list that there were a LOT of post apocalypse movies. I wonder if it’s affecting our culture. It appears NYC is entering such an era.
BTTT
On reading this, I just realized that “occupy Wall Street” was the Leftists model and training ground for the mayhem in Seattle, Portland and other cities right now. The core theme is the same - Marxist anti-capitalism. The only difference now is the BLM thread is being used by the Marxists to tie the police and “racism” to capitalism via so-called “white privilege”.
Yea and the liberal AH took his ideology with him to MIA
Hes a POS
Wait until all they have left are the poor screaming for more goodies and the few middle class left can’t pay them......
Meanwhile UK DM says Born and Bred
Read this over the weekend.
Devastating and spot on...
His letter is interesting and I think he made some points that might be true. The pandemic has changed things quite a bit. The allure of the big city will always be there, but if the work, culture, and restaurant industry leaves what is the allure - homeless, filth, high crime, high cost of living, and high taxes?
I have not been to NYC in many years so I do not know enough to validate or invalidate this letter. However, I do know one thing - check the UHaul prices from NYC to anywhere USA in comparison to the return trip. Uhaul does not lie and the Uhaul index is indicating there are many big cities that are in deep trouble because it is taxpayers who are leaving.
If a new yorker retains his new york employer he will still get taxed by new york. Moving to another state would just add to the tax bill (though there is some credit paid to another state). NY is one of 5 states that tax out of state telecommuters. This might keep them from moving out of state for a while.
NYC has no chance of a comeback as long as it has a Marxist Left Mayor.

Tge pepole who sign the checks are decamping. The ferals are going to HAVE to follow...or turn on their enablers...
Starting to think this all planned - push people out of the city, so you friends can buy up property on the cheap, then someone else get things back to normal.
I read this article the other day. I think it is excellent writing. I enjoyed it very much.
And prospects for NYC were much bleaker in 1977.
Just saying you never know what will happen in the future. Nobody could have predicted Rudy Guiliani getting elected mayor back then, for example.
Most of these liberal progressive blleding heart elitists who are now running are the reason for this idiot running the city into the ground
