Yep, NYC and NYS were spending like drunken sailors as tax revenues skyrocketted along with the stock market. When the market corrects, BYE BYE money **POOF** we're talking cutbacks, recession, and dependence looking for their benefits where none can be afforded
The next recession we see screwed
We only have about 5 billion extra in reserves. Will only support our spending for a year.
Google and Microsoft have offices here. Microsoft Office on 8th Avenue supposed to expand within the building from what I hear due to so many businesses use one cloud and Azure.
Democrat party is eating itself alive. This is why trump will win next year.

How much of a difference would 25k jobs make? Most of the workers would probably live in either Manhattan or LIC anyway, not Corona and Elmhurst. A lot of those luxury condos in LIC are still empty
