It's clear from how the people are dressed that this was NOT recorded in August, or the summer at all. Looks like March to me. When NYC was in full lockdown.


On my 730 train to NY, 12 people in a car that holds about 85. On way home, 15 at 4 p.m.

Normal 90-95 with folks standing.

It's DeBlasio's and Cuomo's New York....they need to own this. Trump moved to Florida months ago and left that helhole behind.

I thought the video was after the 5th Ave riots, and that is why the store fronts were all boarded up. Do you mean they boarded them up months ago when they shut down for covide-19, and never re-opened?

Then did the 5th Ave looters from last weedk or the week before break through the plywood barriers? I'm guessing the inventory was mostly moved away in the weeks in between.

Why would there be that much stuff boarded up right after COVID-19 started? It's more likely because of the lawlessness allowed to go on and the riots.

And how is it that Fifth Avenue is so empty of traffic, both cars and pedestrians? Where is everyone?
You should’ve seen rodeo drive...

New York is fine and getting better. Windows are no longer boarded up. It's just like the 70's NY without Studio 54 and will get better in 25 years just like did over 40 years ago.

Defunding the police and now paramedics in NYC is not going to help anything.

Yet supposedly DeBlasio's wife still has her 14 entourage members costing the city 2 million per year.

He wouldn't stop the rioters from destroying the city, yet assigned 27 cops to protect the BLM graffiti he helped create.

No one would have believed NYC would have devolved like it has, and no one can blame Trump or the (R's) for any of it.
Where is Rudy when you need him?

This is only for this era. In another era(25 to 30 years, maybe even less), NY will be booming again, and the city will be fine. I felt that way in the 70's when city was stuck in the rust. Lord and behold, I was right! NY bounced back after that. It definitely will do so this time around.

This is planned. I'm not saying that the Covid 19 pandemic was done for this reason, but it certainly was co opted and used to try to wreck the US economy as a way to hurt Trump. But they're also trying to drive down real estate prices by destroying the middle class and bankrupting small companies. Then the ones with infinitely deep pockets and their lackeys will swoop in and buy everything at fire sale prices. Not just urban real estate, farms, national park land, wildlife refuges.
Agenda 21. Except whole swaths of trailer parks and FEMA tralers in addition to the housing projects in urban wastelands.
The Native Americans may be lucky and get to keep their reservations, if they aren't kicked off those too. But the rest of us will be on one, too.

Enjoy that 25-30 years it takes to maybe get there. Sad.
