Oh god please let him do this.
He's going to run off his tax base so he can use those absent tax dollars to buy buildings to build out apartments that will be paid for by the non existent tax base that he ran off.

Thanks. I figured that was hyperbole, if not a flat out lie, but hadn't followed the specific #s in those states.
It's the NY Times, you wouldn't go broke if you always bet on them lying.

Most Americans are indifferent to the NYC self inflicted meltdown.

He's the mayor of a city full of buffoons?

Did they cite the riots and looters as cause for the abandonment as well?
No, because they refuse to acknowledge ANTIFA at all, and Black Lives Matter as the terrorist & mafia organization they are.

For four months, the Victoria’s Secret flagship store at Herald Square in Manhattan has been closed and not paying its $937,000 monthly rent.
How many panties do you have to sell per day to make that nut?

Not uncommon for those flagship stores to operate at a loss or minimal profit, as I understand it

Nobody commutes to Manhattan now. Work from home. Safer and no Covid trains

They have a panties deal right now where you get 5 for $30. You need to hit over $31,000 in a day for that rent, ignoring other costs. So you need to hit on at least 1,030 of those panties deals and that’s 5 panties per deal, so that’s at least 5,150 panties per day just to get that nut.
That’s a lot of asses in need of covering.

And in typical smug New York fashion, the comments are all "good, we don't need those stores! This opens up room for creative and diverse businesses!"
Dumbasses. Creative and diverse local businesses can’t afford to even sniff the rent there. These are the same people saying they should t have to pay rent and the government should block evictions.

New York by far got hit the worst, but they also peaked months
Florida just peaked in July and it wasn’t as bad. But Florida July August we’re much worse than NY.
Which is probably what the person interviewed was alluding to.

Well not to mention the mandatory quarantines and COVID checkpoints surrounding the city

Yeah, frick all those people that worked there too. They'll be better of with no income than serving that shitty food.

Chain restaurants pulling out shouldn’t be what makes people in NYC nervous.
Major retailers pulling up stakes for Florida should scare the shite out of them. Part of the appeal of NYC is that you can get virtually anything at any time of the day or night.
Having a “retail desert” means a lot of fricking people who will be hoping Amazon Deliveries has it in stock.
