People are leaving faster than ever, never to be replaced by others.

NYC really busy today. I saw the largest crowds today since mid-March. It seems to be coming back.

They’ll be replaced by destitute immigrants.

NYC’c powers that be will never give up one cent or one regulation. They probably have a 75% population of moochers and looters. These will only demand more free stuff.

The free stuff will be paid for by the people upstate. Like the guy who wrote this article. I hope he’s ready to bail out New York, because his wallet is next for the Albany Oreck XL.

I love NYC and hope all goes well there. Been visiting it since the early 50s and my kids and grandkids all love it.A grandaughter ran the NYC Marathon 2 years ago and it was awesome.

"...vacant office space to become new housing..."


Which developers will wish to front this enormous amount of money knowing it might take DECADES to recoup the costs? Yeah, good luck with that!

“People, when free from government coercion, have an innate ability to serve others in the pursuit of their own interests. It’s this process—one that allows for innovation and production—that creates wealth for everyone.”

Agreed.

But NYC is the center of Government Coercion. Like all Demon-rats, and other POS Goobermint Power Turds, you’ll have to carry these base-tards out in a box, feet first.
Sorry Chiraq, ya got nuthin’ on The Big Apple.
Kalifornicaters? Rookies to Heavy Handed NYC Goobermint.

BINGO!

There might even be a few in that mess who aren't illegals.

Right now the NY City exodus is fueling a real estate boom throughout upstate New York.

Probably in other places as well.

Through all this, I would bet money that if DeBlasio were to run for re-election this year, he’d win again by a landslide. Liberals don’t learn.

The NYC/Albany corridor has pretty much destroyed the rest of the state, so no sympathy for the downstate scumbags.

I think the Edge City concept that was a bit of a thing back in the 90's is an idea whose time has come. Most of our big cities are a complete mess thanks to the Democrats running (and ruining) those cities. How long are businesses going to put up with the nonsense happening in NYC, Chicago and other large cities? Not for much longer, if they have any sense. Instead, start setting up shop in smaller Edge Cities that aren't ruled by Democrats, which will take the tax base away from the archaic big cities that frankly don't deserve the money.
