Mayor Bill de Blasio has dismissed rich New Yorkers who fled the city as 'fairweather friends' and said their taxes should be raised - days after Governor Cuomo begged the city's top 1 percent to return to prop up its ailing finances.
Swarms of wealthy residents fled New York when the city went into lockdown in March and became the coronavirus epicenter of the world.
Despite the city reopening and bringing the outbreak under control, New York has failed to lure back its richest residents with many upping sticks altogether for areas where they can enjoy lower rent and taxes.

Attaway, Bill!
Threaten to shoot em, Bill!
What an asshole.
“Screw you DeBlasio and Cuomo! We’re going on strike! We’re leaving! Go squeeze some other turnips!”
When has it ever been "fair weather" for New Yorkers on the tax front? The argument has always been "It costs a lot, but it's worth it to be able to got to Broadway and the great restaurants and social life".
Zieg Heil, Wilhelm. Zieg Heil.
When did New York reopen???
Yeah, Bill, Tax the hell out of them 24/7, and even when they leave NYC!
It’s the old “Good Thief, Bad Thief” routine.
the problem is some of these idiots are going to try to turn the places they fled to into another libtard basketcase.
“””It costs a lot, but it’s worth it to be able to got to Broadway and the great restaurants and social life”.”””
Yes, but the muggings and robberies are free.
bill will confiscate the best properties
for his WIFE/COMAYOR.
stealing seems to be what they do.
Gotta love Wilhelm.
This is one of the funniest things I’ve read in ages.
“Come back here so I can steal more from you!”
They are already losing their shirts because the value of their homes in NYC are dropping like a rock. I read today that Jennifer Lawrence sold her Manhattan home and took a $3 million loss.
Contrast to my home town where homes are selling around me in my little suburban enclave. They are selling without even hitting the market. And they are selling for asking price or more.
Who thought the peoples republic of Massachusetts would look good compared to these other states?
He’s got some “real” “fake” balls to be asking this.
Hey, this is what New Yorkers want. Yeah, they’re probably a little miffed that DeBlasio is screwing things up. But, they wouldn’t even consider voting red.
To heck with them. Their next mayor will be DeBlasio lite and we can all watch as New York tears itself apart.
Popcorn! More popcorn!!!
Stealing is all the commies ever do.
When yuh cant make, yuh take...
That comparison is a lot like "well,Calcutta isn't quite as bad as Islamabad".
