Marshall McLuhan predicted a lot of this 55 years ago.
I think I figured out what the rats are trying to do. Destroy the cities and then buy up all the real estate on pennies to the dollar.
When we look at the Democrats, we need to look at them like the politburo. They want to loot the treasury for them and their “friends” and keep everyone else in poverty.
As the big picture, I see our nation turning into Penam and 50 districts. Hunger Games anyone?
This reminds me of something I read over a decade ago: People who rent are far more mobile than people who own their own homes. And it actually affects income levels. A mobile work force gets paid more - all other things being equal - because they can leave for higher pay much easier.
It’s why I didn’t buy until I decided it was where I would live until I die (or need a nursing home). And it’s hard to enjoy a house and acreage when you rent it. I think urban and suburban home ownership is a bit of a scam.
Come to think of it, I haven’t seen any of those commercials inviting businesses to relocate to NY state in quite awhile.
Having been born and raised in CT right outside the city with relatives there, I have mostly good memories of there. Since I went in the military back in 71, I would fly into NYC and then take the subway/trains to CT. I always loved having having a pizza from those little joints in Grand Central Station. Best in the world back then. Don’t know about now.
DeBlasio wants to turn NYC into a Stalinist showplace!
Moving companies are refusing calls as they are overloaded already. Exodus 2.0. Who is the Moses leading the Jews this time?
While I hate what these two fools have done, I think NY was in a death spiral and it took several events to push it over the cliff.
Covid and blm riots are the last straws.
The place was way overpriced, and much of what was being done in office buildings has been sent into homes, and once that happened without too much loss of productivity, the companies realized the cost savings involved.
When a worker is a shirker, his productivity will fall and changes will be made.
Look at the overall savings that occur when millions of square feet of prime NY office space is no longer paid every month.
And that is just the beginning, parking expenses, lunch and dinner expenses, no more hanging out in the break room with mustang sally or chaddie.
Wait until the NY Stock exchange pulls the plug {they can put computers anywhere, and most are probably already located in NJ, but they can be moved to Utah, Iowa, upickem}.
The point is, the big apple will never see the same population and high flying economy again.
As Dandy Don used to sing, "Turn out the lights, the party's over".
As an ex-New Yorker that lived in New York City and then Long Island and lived there for some fifty years,& who loved the city from head to toe, Democrat Party, low life, scum & vermin Governor, Andrew Cuomo & Mayor, Bill De Blasio have killed the city for a long time to come, if it indeed ever recovers from their massive destruction of the city proper and the murder of senior innocents...period!!!
Broadway theater is dead for years, so is Radio City Music Hall, Empty hotels, Empty restaurants, Zero tourists, Chinatown is dead, Little Italy is dead, Brooklyn pizza is dead for tourists to taste,the famed subway system is naught but a danger zone filled with homeless, druggies, criminals, perverts and low lifes. Three hundred people per day are living the city forever, the people it needs for a decent tax base, Carl Icahn has moved his financial business to Miami, Florida, Wall Street will soon follow, Yankee Stadium is dead, City Field is dead, Madison Square Garden is dead!!! And...the finest New York City Police Department in the world has been totally destroyed by the
Democrat Party scum and vermin, living humanity!!!
Sad thing to say is that New Yorkers did this to themselves by voting this scum and vermin Democrat Low life into office. Yep fools go vote for Biden and kill the entire country!!! Hopefully, POTUS, Trump will be re-elected and New York will become alive once again...Vote, Trump...and,only Trump!!!
New York City is dead and it’s not coming back.
I don’t see a problem with this. Unless they want to turn somewhere else into NYC.
Unfortunately, the typical New Yorker that moves down to Florida remains a loyal democrat and keeps voting for the same type politicians that ruined New York.
I post and respond to nothing from Summit News. There is absolutely ZERO transparency as to who is Summit News.
As far as this story itself, it has been and is being well covered by many other news sources that are transparent as to who they are.
Alas, Babylon has fallen. The world mourns the demise of the harlot.
Sort of a paraphrase from Holy Scripture.
There’s another issue here no one has addressed.
According to polls, Dems outnumber Republicans, so elections should be a cake walk - except for that Electoral College thing. What good does it do to import ten million lib voters if they all settle in LA or Chicago or NYC?
They need to either abolish the EC or redistribute their voters. If they drive everyone out of the city, at least some will end up in rural America, right?
I lived in NYC years and years ago and it was a great place then. Married and moved to NJ (You gotta problem with that?) but went back to the City for language classes and to Chinatown when I had my cooking classes. Could really see the changes from mayor to mayor. Bless Guilani!
Now? Fagettaboudit!
Diseased rats are fleeing the diseased city, bringing the disease with them to infect wherever they end up with the disease they are fleeing. Liberalism.
Welcome to Florida Altucher.... We had BLM attempt to start riots here too... BUT BECAUSE WE HAVE A REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR AND REPUBLICAN MAYORS THE LOOTING, RIOTS AND MAYHEM WERE STOPPED BEFORE THEY STARTED.
If you come here and vote democrat - please turn around and go back to New York. We don't need violence and looting here.
I hate to hear that. More liberals fleeing to civilized states, ultimately destroying the politics of their new homes.
Terminal stupidity is repeating the same action over and over, all the while expecting a different result.
As an aside, one big issue that has not been discussed is what impact an NYC bankruptcy will have on the financial markets. Soon the City will default on its bonds and the bondholders will take over its management through the courts. With de Blasio out, who knows what will happen.
What we are looking at right now is still Act I. Act II is about to begin.
And that makes a lot of sick fake Christians here very happy. It’s just disgusting over the months how you have shown your hatred. Put up a wall around New York City you said. when people were dying. But when Florida and Texas were hit you couldn’t find an article on here. You folks that take pleasure in this sicken me.
I take solace in knowing that God despises hateful thoughts and people will pay for them in one way or another in their life
