It’s hard to fathom how badly DeBlasio has ruined that city.

I think someone made this comment on the poliboard:

"DeBlasio has done more damage to NYC than Osama bin Laden"

I've never seen a politician so openly hated and yet so overwhelmingly re-elected.

New Yorkers love the D, no matter how much they're getting fricked in the arse by it.

If the virus sticks around and more companies go to mobile work, why move back to the city and deal with the headache and expense?


companies don't work out of apartments.

these are residents moving out, because the city is a shitthole run by shitty democrats

Yea but if you can work remotely and no longer have to travel into the city, why would you live in the city and out up with the crime and terrible schools? That was his point.

NYC doesn't have much crime or bad schools, especially in the good areas

the problem with NYC is that it's frickING EXPENSIVE

the good parts of NYC have been neutered by covid and the riots. it went from the city that never sleeps to a full on narcoleptic in a couple of months

Good buddy of mine lives in a really nice apartment in Queens. I think it is a 3/2. Might be a townhouse, not entirely sure.

His rent is 3400 a month.

I lived there in 2000/2001 for about a year. Ours was 480 sq ft and i think $2600 20 damn years ago.

Honestly, cost of living in NYC has been an issue for a long arse time.

It was just a matter of a big enough change in their economic situation for people to truly not be able to afford to live there.

NYC became affordable once it stopped being the living hell that it was in the 70s and 80s

EVEN THEN, Manhattan was expensive as shite. it's just that there were enough shite holes for normal people to afford to live there

it's a victim of its own success

And, of course, you have rent control for some folks that necessarily increase the rental prices for anyone who doesn't qualify for them.

There are people advocating this very thing, and are completely serious about it.
