Deblasio wants to build more cheap housing and partner with his friends to profit off the services contract. How are those newly built affordable housing? They don't even match up with any Newark newly built privately owned apts. That's why he's sending homeless folks to Newark.

DeBlasio's communist agenda is taking money from the well to do, giving it to the poor and allowing the elites to take over the rest of NYC. All those mom pop shops are shutdown by his orders and they get no help from the city while the big RE property owners are getting millions from the Fed to stay afloat. That's why Hudson Yards have not shut the doors yet, they're being floated by Fed money.
It's always been 99% and 1%. Where have you been. Forget about this middle class fantasy, it does not exist.

There simply hasn't been a good reason for tons of back office to remain not just in Manhattan, but tri-state area period.

Technology has simply made locating such places anywhere in USA or world with cheaper costs a no brainier.

Scarface was a real guy, he's still alive and lives with his Tigers in Miami at his private compound:

More like 99.9% and 0.1%.

People love to rail on the rich but they sure like that the 1% pays more taxes than the bottom 90% combined, where most of those pay no taxes at all. Communists love to jealously attack the rich and assume if things were "fair" everyone would get that money evenly. They're complete morons, you take away those hyper productive members of society and that money goes away - it stops being generated. Capitalism is NOT a zero sum game, it creates new value out of nothing

Pretty much every city in the Midwest except for maybe Chicago has substantially lower taxes then NYC. Similar climates. How is this even a statement?

Really...no city in the Midwest has over a million people besides Chicago. That's why I said populace.

It’s always a joke until you do the math and realize that it’s consistently the #1 or #2 state to do business...and NY #49 or #50.

It is only the financial capital of the world as long as the corporations make it so.
