I suppose a New Yorker could stick around, and hope for the best. Because maybe Mamdani will unlike every socialist before him, and not mean what he says.

But I don’t trust commies. So for me, it would be…

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Great movie

[DAC21]

Maybe Snake Plissken can provide security for the escape?

[Lurker]

Maybe because the guy who’s going to be Mayor has promised to screw them up the backside?

Just a guess.

Without reading the article, crime and taxes?

[MinorityRepublican]

New York is home to approximately 350,000 millionaires and 123 billionaires, according to Forbes, and many are seriously thinking about leaving the city.

Somehow the Muslim Socialist won in Manhattan while Cuomo did well in Staten Island and the Bronx.

Billy was off a bit on the year...

But the dystopian vibe is on-point.

[null and void]

Easier now...

...You'll need help later!

[BipolarBob]

Take me with you Snake.

Jews (wealthy or not), also need to be making plans to flee.

[Bobbyvotes]

Dammit this means home prices will jump in Florida.

What’s going to happen when the commies run out of ‘other people’s money - and the crime rate’s so high the middle class moves out too?

[FLNittany]

Miami, Palm Beach, and Jupiter Island realtors will be busy. Little inventory right now though.

As for the commercial buildings, sell them now. They’ll be worth much less after this dips*it is through.

[Bonemaker]

Oh great. More liberal pukes disbursed to normal states.

[Preachin']

The vast majority of the millionaires and millionaires in NYC probably donated generously to the democrats these last few decades.

They’ll just move somewhere and pollute another area.

[Bonemaker]

Scum either way.

[Salvavida]

The tax base is leaving. Many in the NYPD are threatening to walk out.

If the communist wins, I’m picking Raleigh, NC to pick up the financial services portfolio for the US. Maybe Miami. FL (Trump effect). But it can’t stay in NYC.

It’s been happening since 2023. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackkelly/2023/08/23/wall-street-is-going-south-and-taking-1-trillion-in-assets-with-it/
