DeBlasio is either trying to destroy the city, or is just one evil, incompetent man. He may be trying to make Trump blink and give him money, but Trump knows you can't give people more money than they can steal or throw away.

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.

Now watch the businesses that cater to the wealthy - 4-star restaurants, limo services, couturiers, art auctioneers, luxury auto showrooms, opera and ballet - start to dry up with an attendant drop-off in sales tax revenue. Marxists always bite the hand that feeds them.
Maybe if Wild Bill resigned many would return quickly....

Kind of hard to raise their taxes if they aren’t there genius!!!!! Looks like a lot of your “blind pig” fair weather friends found an acorn elsewhere.
Can’t raise taxes on people who don’t live there anymore, genius.
Screw’em coming and going.
The choice of New Yawkers.... Every vote counts.
Think about that.
“DeBlasio is either trying to destroy the city, or is just one evil, incompetent man.”
Both...and not necisarrily in that order
Actually a lot of the younger folks, who had largely fled home to Mom and Dad’s house wherever, have been returning to the City and enjoying its renewed “grit” and expanded outdoor dining.
They just don’t contribute much to the tax base compared to the billionaires and multimillionaires who have had enough, thank you.
Yes and yes.
Welcome to New Detroit.
Also, don't forget about this...
Mayor Bill de Blasio Tells Conservatives to Get Out of New York!
Better yet just confiscate their bank accounts!

If Albert Ruddy ever produces the next Atlas Shrugged movie, Warren Wilhelm should be cast as Mr. Thompson. He’s a natural for that role.
He’s also asking Uncle Sugar for some bail-out dough.
Yes, that will bring them back!
Good luck with that, Wilhelm.

54.8%
That’s how many New Yorkers have filled out the Census.
• That means we could lose HALF our funding.
• That means we could lose TWO representatives.
• You can change that. Fill out the Census now!

Oh, DeBlasio’s not just an asshole... he’s the whole ass.
A f***ing commie retardniki first class.
He thinks people aren’t coming back due to the Covid nonsense? He’s real slow on the uptake on that isn’t he.
They are not coming back due to lack of the rule of law. Who in their right mind would return to a big city with a defund the police order going on?
