The title of the thread is we are losing billionaires
So I thought it was financial related
Now its not
So what programs are city funded?
Without going into specifics anything that has the word "NYC" in it, such as IDNYC, NYCOpportunity, etc or any agency that starts with a "Mayor's office of" such as Mayor's office of Immigrant Affairs, Mayor's office of Media and Entertainment, Mayor's office of Climate and Environmental Justice, Public Advocate, etc are all 100% city funded.
A lot of programs are a mix of fed/state/city funds. Billionaires help fund everything.
DSS is $10 billion, so 10% of the city budget. I don't know how far that would go down if the bottom 1,000,000 inhabitants of NYC were squeezed out, but I wouldn't be surprised it it was lowered by at least half. And how much extra costs to they cause in other departments (police, education, HHS, etc.)?
The two largest burdens on city budget are the homeless (give or take about 100k NYC individuals at $4billion+ per year) and habitual repeat criminals - law enforcement/justice/healthcare/Rikers is very expensive for the city on a per person level. As you noted, all of these people also use other agency and city services (DSS also has its own police force). Realistically, most of the headache is from that bottom ~300,000 people.

By choice obviously, otherwise why would a billionaire move here in the first place

Who knows, I can't read peoples minds. But most people, including billionaires, have a monetary threshold at which pros of NYC residency do not justify the cost.

Who's to judge?

The billionaires for themselves. The can take their ball (of wealth) and go home (to one of their other homes not in NYC, and sell the NYC home to break domicile.)
Billionaires aren't moving from NYC because of money. Most billionaires wouldn't be able to tell you their net worth within a few hundred million on any given day.
They started to move from NYC because they realized that the black supremacists who run this city want to simply use them for their money without hearing them out or giving them any of the influence that they had in the past. Imagine shoveling tons of money to a group of people who not only (figuratively) have no problem taking multiple dumps on your head but are also literally stupid.
For those who are truly wealthy, money is almost never the motivating factor for breaking off relationships. It's almost always personal.

If what you're claiming is true, shouldn't you respect any politician that does not let people with wealth influence them?

As opposed to those with their hands out influencing them?
I’ll take 100 billionaires influencing politicians than 1,000,000 lazy schemers and scammers who want a piece of my money because they feel entitled to live in an expensive city. The billionaires don’t need my money. They just want to protect theirs.

Feel entitled to live in an expensive city? How well do you know this city's history?
