This is bullshite. People have been saying this for years and it’s simply not true. Maybe it will be in 20 years and certainly some areas are better than others but it’s still a clean and safe city especially for being so big: Hate all you want but NYC is an incredible place, always has been and I hope it always will be.

Agreed. I’m there several times a year for work, never see any of that except yes, there are homeless people around. Never had an issue with any of them
Love visiting, couldn’t live there though. It can be overwhelming

Are the "patriotic millionaires" as Mrs. Freeze calls them cutting the checks?

Go to the upper west side and walk around. There are parts of NYC that have relatively low crime and are amazing.

Everything you hear on FoxNews is true. Lots of homeless people, smells like poop, and pee. Rats everywhere. Graffiti all over the place.

I went once to NYC in the 80s. It was the same as this.

It has been a steady decline over the last 4 mayors.

Now the nitro had been pushed.

That is one of the dumbest things I have ever seen posted here, and that's saying something!

If you tax unrealized capital gains you are going to bankrupt a whole bunch of average working people, then you really have a shitshow.

live outside of NY city and if you really want to fix these community problems, you have to tax unrealized capital gains, which has to include IRAs and 401Ks. No one needs $500K+ in retirement. There should also be a tax penalty if you sell any assets like Stock or your home below the original purchase price adjusted for inflation


I hope this is a troll. If not, my God you’re a stupid frick. Forget how stupid taxing unrealized gains and how that would destroy the economy, how do you figure someone can live off under 500k the rest of their life if they retire at 65? Say you live to 85, that’s 25k a year

Well, his plan is working. Move out any US citizens that can afford to move. Import Muslims on a massive scale. Bankrupt NYC and severely cripple the economy of NY state. Having a blithering idiot at governor like Hochul just helps in the endeavor. If done quick enough, NYC and NY state won't lose their electorate power and you can vote in nothing but communist dems to finish the state off and really really hamper the US congress for a couple of terms. The Federal government at that point only has limited options and if a Democrat President is elected, they'll send billions upon billions to bail out their new communist utopia, and the money train will keep flowing there while the rest of the US gets drained. Death by a thousand taxes.

ETA: autocorrect got me a few times.

I didn’t, but it deserves one. The OP and his friend seem retarded.

some idiots don't do math. 500,000$ is just 50,000 a year for ten years, add another year for interest. Its nothing. You live on 50 k a year?
