Democrats love the chaos it leads to total destruction and everyone knows it is easier to rebuild than renovate. NYC will need to be bulldozed just like many other US cities sadly and the Democrats will get rich doing it. Check out NoVA no more beautiful farms just massive tech buildings.
Unless they intend to fill in the Hudson River, NYC will never have the importance it had nearly four centuries ago; as a port anything unloaded has to be transported across that obstacle, so shippers use Port Newark/Elizabeth instead.
