NYC is a shithole? Wow, there's some breaking news from 1720.

PJW is spot-on, yet again. And Newark and other NJ shitholes are close on NYC's heels.

I looked up some statistics on NYC Taxes.

Until recently, the top 1% of wage-earners in the City paid 46% of the taxes!!

One report showed 140,000 top earners have left the City since COVID started, resulting in a tax shortfall of $3.6 Billion to date.

So, it is already a shithole and I see nothing to halt, or even slow, the downward spiral.

NYC, when I lived on Long Island, was a cultural Mecca; food, entertainment, museums, culture etc., now, you could not pay me enough to live there. I am out of fucks to give about it!

I expect NYC to be bankrupt in the next year and a half... Do any of our members know how that would work in a formal bankruptcy declaration?

That is a real shame what Bloomberg and DiBlasio have facilitated here.

I recall growing up as a kid in the 70's and NYC on TV looked nasty, 3rd world bombed out (the bronx) and dirty, graffiti everywhere.
My job beginning in the late nineties took me to NYC for convention booth duty and I recall being pleasently surprised, after a trip or two I recall looking forward to the trip and visiting new places feeling safe (not naive about it) in manhattan. Hell last year I took my wife and kids there to visit and see the sites... We had a good time.

From all this I simplify it to say these Democrat leaders and the unions are killing the golden goose.

Lets see if they start burning up their empty buildings again for the insurance money.

As far as an NYC bankruptcy, Detroit went that route and the state stepped in to bail them out.
And while there has been some rebound, Detroit is still a shithole.

The state isn't in much better shape money wise.

You'd have Rudy Giuliani to thank for that. From 1994-2001, he cleaned the city up in a major way. I visited a month after 9/11 and the place was clean, safe, and the patriotism was palpable and inspiring.

I don't have time to watch the PJW video just yet, but from what I've heard through the grapevine of friends and family who still live in NY, it seems like NYC is very rapidly heading back to the kind of state of decay it was in during the 70's. The money is leaving as fast as it can get out, and the rest of the state is broke. Decades worth of liberal policy is going to do what it did to Detroit, Michigan.

It was shit hole.

Giuliani cleaned it up.

Bloomberg and Deblasio let it go back to being a shit hole.

It could come back with 20 years of real Conservatives running it.

P220 you are correct as I recall reading in a Malcolm Gladwell book, he employed the "Broken Windows" theory to turn the city around!

DeBlasio's legacy.

They invited him in.

He hit that city like a bomb.

I wonder what he will f*ck up after this?

Technically they did. In 2013 he got 72% of a record low vote turnout of 24% so 17% of New Yorkers voted for him. Good enough sad to say.

New form of gerrymandering. Don't move the lines. Move the population. Riots might just do that.

What Rudy cleaned up and I'll be honest Bloomberg kept going, Diblasio destroyed completely. When he got elected I was living in Brooklyn, having moved from Long Island and I said the David Dinkins days of the ugly 70's and 80's are coming back. It's here now. You can't walk a block in midtown without getting panhandled, threatened by homeless, stepping over human waste or worse yet, humans. The subway has become a giant moving homeless shelter because the commuters aren't riding nearly as much so it's been taken over. A friend was riding to work last week and, in an instant, a homeless person pulled down his pants and peed on her. It's that bad and this article is really spot on. Houses are selling same day they are listed here in NJ, people are desperate to get out of the city.

Moving to Florida in droves and many are bringing their stupid liberal political views on taxes, gun control, etc with them. I was in West Palm last year for the IALEFI conference and it seemed everyone I encountered locally has a NY accent. As conservative friends down there have said, "They have us outnumbered". SE Florida will become the new NYC. I wouldn't mind folks fleeing a screwed up state if they didn't try to make their new home as screwed up as their old one.
