Get rid of the stupid restrictions, you might get some of that population back.

Do you mean as an energetic/edgy city or as hellhole?
energetic/edgy liberal city which just happens to lead the nation in many areas of healthcare, history, arts, sports, tech, etc.
..or a Hubble..
I should add finance.
yup
I had forgotten about Gary Null - used to love listening to his shows. Out there, but mentally provocative in a good way.
They’re not coming back to save your economy especially now that you have a new DA vowing reduced incarceration rates. Dumb ass!
Private Businesses owners Think Mayor Eric Adams should step down from Office, NYC's Economy Needs It
Can’t swim?
Welcome to the deep end!
HE’s listening to over 62 million silent voices that plead, “When?”
And YES.
That ship has sailed. Raise taxes. That should bring businesses and workers back, dipshit.
Many of the bars and restaurants are half empty - I have no idea how they stay in business.
I used to go in there four or five times a week by train (Metro North). I used to always look forward to catching the 5:28 train home to Westport as we had a regular group of guys who would all grab Foster's "oil cans" and loosen up after a hard day's work. All that community is gone. People are far more uptight on the train with the constant reminders over the loudspeakers to "have a mask on" over and over again. People just sit in their seats and bury themselves in their devices or books.
It's just not the same place now. I keep thinking it will come back but so far, it shows no signs of doing so. When the lease in our building comes up, our company is thinking of moving our offices out of midtown to a suburban location like Stamford, CT or Tarrytown, NY.

One bright side is that it'll become cheaper to do business and two live in New York City. So in a sense, that's an opportunity.
The people in NYC who elect these dirtbags don’t have a problem with the status quo; they are not in the workforce, and don’t pay any of their own bills. It is a welfare reservations.
Many of the workers they want to return don’t live in NYC; many don’t even live in New York state.
NYC, like many northeastern cities, is burdened with a multi-generational welfare population which replaced its middle class. Not only do these inhabitants need everything paid for by someone else, but they contribute nothing to maintaining themselves or the infrastructure - and anyone (person or business) knows that moving there will just give them a share of a massive IOU to funds these things. I’ve posted before that NYC has more people in gubmint housing than the population of Wyoming.
Smaller, younger cities don’t have the massive pension debts of NYC as well - and often don’t remain on the map by simply opening the floodgates to illegal aliens as NYC does. Here in neighboring NJ, we have many of the same ills - and the same lack of solutions.
On top of that, he backs the local soros puppet DA who wants to decriminalize crime by essentially only prosecuting murder and "corruption" (pretty ironic) while diminishing almost all violent crimes to low-level misdemeanors.
Sure. Let's all go back to NYC so that the criminals can make a living using law-abiding citizens as their personal ATMs, knowing full well that they will not be prosecuted for "low level" offenses like armed robbery or attempted murder.
