Nearly 160 Wall Street firms have moved their headquarters out of New York since the end of 2019, taking nearly $1 trillion — yes, that’s trillion with a “T” — in assets under management with them, according to data from 17,000 companies compiled by Bloomberg.

Florida doesn't put up with WOKE crap, we're allowed to run over protesters if they surround our car and we feel threatened, no state income tax (ZERO $) and it's against the law to teach CRT in our schools. Did I mention George Soros prosecutors are fired? So we don't have crime problems like New York... Yeah, I know why they're coming here.

Should have dropped dead back in 1975, like Gerald Ford wanted it to.

Soon the Mayor will be begging to sell Manhattan back to the Indians for $27 so they can open casinos there.

Think its bad now. Wait until 2030
Fourteen major American cities are part of a globalist climate organization known as the “C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group,” which has an “ambitious target” by the year 2030 of “0 kg [of] meat consumption,” “0 kg [of] dairy consumption,” “3 new clothing items per person per year,” “0 private vehicles” owned, and “1 short-haul return flight (less than 1500 km) every 3 years per person.”
Austin, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, New York City, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and Seattle.

I hate to see New York dying the slow death it is now.
My ancestor settled in Brooklyn in February, 1659.
Next generation moved to New Jersey and we have been there since then.
Times have changed, since then, the radical left has screwed it up.
The Dutch were and still are liberal to a fault.
They tolerated outlandish behavior as long as it did not interfere with their COMMERCE!
We should revisit that idea. It has killed New York
The present inhabitants deserve it, in SPADES!

According to the way New York City dwellers vote they don’t seem to care. Neither do I.

New York was a fantastic city when Rudy G. was Mayor. It’s a shame what it has become under the democrats.

Here’s the part I don’t understand.

If I CAN SEE THE DANGER IN WHAT THE LEFT IS DOING, WHY CANNOT THOSE MORE INTELLIGENT THAN I...SEE IT.

The Elites seem to have a deficiency in looking to the future to see WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF.......

As long as they have that FLAW...we CAN WIN.

Headline is bullshit. How much money these firm manage isn’t NYC income. Makes it sound like the city is losing trillions, with a capital T, of revenue.

There is simply no reason to be in New York anymore. With the internet, you can locate your firm anywhere. Why would you choose high tax, high cost of living, high crime New York?

I work for several big banks in Charlotte. I have a lot of colleagues up in New York who are DYING to get transferred down here. The banks generally make them take a 20% haircut in their salary when they get transferred. Their standard of living still goes way up even with their salary reduced by that much. That’s to say nothing of the filth and crime up in NYC.

When they leave New York, they cease to be "Wall Street" firms.
