There are no serious rivals to places like LA, NYC, and SF in the US.
Foreigners with lots of money are not going to go to no name cities. NYC will remain connected to global capital in part because it's one city in America that people all around the world no. Most people globally have not heard of Houston, Boston, Charlotte, etc.
But everyone has heard of NYC.
you assume everyone will come to the US regardless
NYC didn't incorporate it's ethnic poor into the city as a whole in terms of opportunity, and now that is finally blowing up in it's face and that is something the city is finally having to deal with.
What a completely false narrative. NYC has been incorporating and giving opportunities to new immigrants and "ethnic" poor for centuries.
New opportunities = WORK, not handouts, just so we are clear.
NYC is a sanctuary city and it is also the capital of the world. It has everything fashion, media, music, tv/film, finance, medicine, IT, etc. NYC will always attract people. But it doesn't mean people will stay forever or remain living in NYC.
NYC is facing is an unbalance housing issue, an antiquated infrastructure that can't handle the population, a disparity between the rich, middle class and poor in terms of housing, schools, services, etc, a growing homeless + mental ill population, ETC.
Similar to Los Angeles and San Francisco, NYC has a good amount of negatives.
Bozo just burned $800M on a failed schools program and Chirlane burned $850M on a fraudulent mental health program that helped nobody with another $1 BILLION planned to double down
I am shocked, SHOCKED that nobody except the Post is paying any attention to what's going on at City Hall. You would think that a reputable publication like the NY Times would be raising alarm bells by now at the ludicrous spending and waste. Are they just so consumed with their crusade to unseat Trump?
Answer to that question is YES.
TDS has consumed the media and the liberals -- they are going to continue to throw everything they can at Trump in hopes that something sticks. So far - nothing has. And if it keeps up, Trump's chances in 2020 get stronger.
NYC repeating the same problems created by Mayor Dinkins. Instead of being forward thinking and making the city high tech and business friendly. It's becoming backwards and less business friendly.

Recent De Blasio tweet trying to debunk this article-
New York City’s credit rating just increased for the first time in a decade. We saved $1 billion in February and are on track to save $750 million more in April. Jobs have reached a record high of 4.5 million.
Unlike @FoxNews, numbers don't lie.
Since De Blasio doesn’t lie and is so trustworthy.
It's not just about Amazon, a lot of businesses don't want to open shops here because of regulations, min wage, and cost of healthcare around here. Amazon is hiring 15k remote workers right now and you cannot reside in NJ or NY.
NYC has been around for centuries through many crises and will be fine.
So said ancient Rome. No city can be so arrogant to thank that it cannot compete. Even London and they have been a major center for longer than most cities, clearly much longer than NY.
