These rich people might know a lot more than us average Joes know. Corona is just getting started I’m afraid.

Looks like the Upper West Side is just lovely.

https://nypost.com/2020/08/06/hundre...ssment-to-uws/

I don't know who came up with the idea to place the 'homeless' in hotels. They are not simply homeless, i.e. people without homes. They are people with a lot of issues. Addiction being the main one, but also mental illness and repeat sex offenders.

So they put them up in a hotel, in a residential neighborhood? People like this need to be in FULLY STAFFED residential treatment facilities. Not in a hotel by night and wandering the streets by day. This is cruel, for the homeless and the residents. NYC needs someone like Giuliani back.

People need to get out of dodge. This will affect me because my home is in a commutable suburb. Once NYC loses its value, so does my home. But I am not able to leave at this point.

Wow. Yeah, NYP, the ONE media outlet of NYC that's not fake news and will show the other side.

Just to think of all the property values dropping in those areas....wow.

I had no idea homeless are being HOUSED in hotels? Who is paying for all of that?

Isn't the Upper West Side one of the more desirable areas? Or maybe I should say "was." It's heartbreaking to watch New York slide back toward the dark days of the 1970s. But the old saying is ever true: those who don't remember their history are doomed to repeat it.

I'm not a New Yorker but I'd say Upper West Side is second to Upper East Side in Manhattan in terms of desirability and prices.

Though I could be totally wrong.

-Tourism is dead.

Radical Liberal policies has been sucking the life out of NYC since Rudy left, and now Covid-19 is finishing off the job.

What's Joe Biden's plan to save it? (crickets chirping)
My grandson is just waiting for the rents to go down. Not everyone is leaving

The sickness on the left is such, that when they flee the horrible cities they screwed up, they don't realize it's their fatally flawed ideology that's at fault. They think it was just the mayor or governor's fault for not properly implementing their ideology.

We know socialism/Marxism doesn't work, history has shown us this over and over again, at the cost of millions of lives. But the left keeps trying it over and over again. The left fail to understand that socialism, Marxism, etc... is doomed to fail. They keep fooling themselves into thinking they can make Marxism work... they just need different people to do it right the next time, rinse repeat.
Great post. The problem is the ideology, not the people trying to run it.

Even without the China Virus things going on, I never understood the appeal of living in NYC.

Welcome to America's New Detroit. Sorry to see you turn yourself into a hellhole New York City. You can thank your Communist mayor, city council and Governor for the hellscape NYC is about to become.
