Pandemic + lax law enforcement is the formula for retail disaster. Sad to see this happen to a once great city.
All 3 problems can be traced right to politicians with emphasis on existing mayor.
DeBlasio, who would have thought they could elect somebody worse than Doomberg!

A lot of corporations kept branches open in NYC as a vanity presence. The overpriced rent and excessive taxation made those locations perennial money losers. Those corporations will not return.

NYC will remain important due to its location, deep water ports, and existing infrastructure for shipping and transportation. Much like New Orleans.
But it won’t necessarily remain important as a massive cultural center or the largest city in the country if people abandon it and a lot of the things that drew people there, such as Broadway, either no longer exist or are seriously scaled back.
As of this second, NYC has all of the costs associated with living there, plus high crime, but most things which are perks for living there like the arts and the restaurant scene are on hiatus or closed completely.
Combine that with jobs getting more mobile, no longer requiring you to live in a massive city to get work or be paid well, and you will see NYC regress.
They can staunch the bleeding but it involved DeBlasio to stop fricking up and to get with Cuomo to come up with some solutions to keep high earners from bailing.

The second tier of the issue is that property owners got greedy, especially in Manhattan. When a small business owner is having to shell out $20+k/month for their lease, something will eventually give. The same thing can be said for a 1,200sqft abandoned shack costing over $1M (see: San Fran).

Not just New York.
GAP just closed their Flagship store in San Francisco.
B&M retail is on the margins everywhere, and having to deal with
- urban flight
- insane rent
- riots and looting
- $15+/hr minimum wage (and rising)
- insane regulatory burden
is already a massive cost sink. Now add in the unpredictability that mayors or governors can shut you down for a month by executive fiat, and I don't know how anyone operates a business in such a climate.

No big deal.
Just crush the economy and take all small businesses out.
Google and Amazon are about to own everything

It will remain the largest city in the country. It’s damn near 3 times the size of the second largest in terms of city proper. It’s not going anywhere.
Broadway isn’t leaving. That’s not some industry that is going remote. There will always be a demand for live entertainment that gets you out of the house. Is the NFL dying? Sports in general?
Local and state governments have fricked NYC for a good while, but there’s too much money floating around to let the city rot. Eventually, when this is done, some smart businessmen will swoop in and buy apartments and vacant buildings for dirt cheap prices, lower the rent a bit, and allow business/people to return. It’s a cycle. It happens often. Look at the gentrification of inner cities.
The difference is nobody will need to bring a wrecking ball into NYC to fix it.
