NEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- New York City is not dead; in fact, it's on its way back, according to Mayor Bill de Blasio.

The mayor was asked if the city was in a death spiral, and he said that he spoke to someone who is "successful in real estate" and is a proud New Yorker. "He said unquestionably the city is coming back and anyone who doesn't understand that isn't paying attention."

He claims that many of the people who lived in the city back in February are still in New York City, despite reports of many people moving to the suburbs or staying in their summer homes for an indefinite amount of time.

Who wants to visit New York when the mayor says you can go anywhere to eat. I will never go back as long as that clown is running it.

Maybe after he and his Grifter Wife leave.

Any idea how his Son got into Harvard? I didn’t know he was a Genius like Obama.

I live about an hour outside of Manhattan by public transit and used to love going into Times Square to hang out. A few weeks ago I visited Midtown Manhattan on a Saturday morning. There was nothing in Times Square but homeless junkies and agressive panhandlers. Most of Fifth ave was boarded up and looked like a war zone.

I don’t see how NYC comes back from this anytime soon, but getting DiBlasio and his wife out of the city government would at least be a start.

“He said unquestionably the city is coming back and anyone who doesn’t understand that isn’t paying attention.”

Paying attention to what? His rah rah cheap slogans, or his non-existent leadership?

If it needs to ‘come back’, then obviously it’s gone and the reason why is their autocratic racist, leftist, communistic mayor.

I traveled to NYC last week for the first time since February. I had no interest in going, but I was picking up a close friend who was traveling there for business -- and for some reason her company put her up in a Manhattan hotel.

I drove to her hotel, picked her up, and LEFT THE CITY for dinner. I drove back and dropped her off afterward.

I was willing to pay $30+ in tolls just so I could have a nice evening out without setting foot in that sh!t-hole.

I am sure he means NYC will be able to come back without Federal aid.

With all the rats roaming around outdoor dining looks more dangerous than the virus.
