Was talking with my uncle about this- I cannot see them re-electing another R given the state of the left.

It’s so bad those that would champion that cause are bailing rather than attempting to salvage it.

The up front costs are cheap, but the recurring fees will kill you.

High property taxes, water bills and insurance. Public schools and services are useless. The roads are terrible even though they're always under construction. Grocery stores that sell anything besides liquor and snack food are only located in the suburbs.

We should relocate the refugees that were sent to middle America to NY. All from Idaho, Minnesota, Maine, Colorado etc.

If we can't repatriate them back to their home countries, NYC will do.

The white flight out of the cities in the 60's & 70's to the suburbs is what doomed the cities like NYC for decades and just when whites finally felt NYC and other cities were safe again the libs pulled the rug out from them yet again. I remember well NYC in the 70's, it was a hell hole littered with stollen cars left stripped up on blocks, burned out buildings in Manhatten, the Bronx & Brooklyn with crime all over, the police were hunted for sport... Deblasio is bringing it all back. I hope the libs that are fleeing the cities now get woke to the lefts sacrifice of them.

21
MrAlwaysRight 21 points ago +21 / -0

White flight is the name, but it’s a myth partly.

The reality is everyone who could left. Rich black people left, Asians left, Latinos left.

The left wants people to believe it was due to racism. The reality it was due to the rulers of the left, who are more like the Huns.

Unfortunately the conservative, middle class demographic of the outter boroughs isnt there anymore and they were the reason Rudy got voted in.

They'll just demand bailouts from the state and federal government. They'll justify it by saying that they're too big to fail, and too important. Even though all their financial and media centralization will have disintegrated in the exodus.

NautiFella 74 points ago +74 / -0

Technically, she might be right. Well, once they find somebody to pay for it all...

A few years ago some libs floated the idea of making nyc a separate state. Everybody outside the city LOVED the idea. Then the people pushing it realized how much economic support comes from outside the five boroughs. Like most of it. nyc is a burden on the rest of the state and to the country.

Time to fix that.

Every Upstaters dream is to have NYC cut off into its own separate state, or slide into the Atlantic Ocean, either way works for me.

NautiFella 1 point ago +1 / -0

One really good hurricane with a 20 foot or greater storm surge and the city becomes untenable. All that tunneling under the city will get flooded. Subways, utility corridors, centuries of long forgotten tunnels will get flooded with 100s of millions of gallons of Atlantic Ocean, and she doesn't like to give things back.

Let's hope.

Every single press conference that Andy gives is trashing Trump and then begging for Fed money and blaming SALT for every one of his state's woes.

10
doodaddy 10 points ago +10 / -0

SALT was the most 4D move of them all. Dems can't understand indirect causes, especially if they take 3 or so years to show full affect. So, even though Cuomo will be partially right on blaming SALT, his constituents won't understand him.

(And SALT was just a way for some states to get their hands in the federal coffers. Makes sense to kick them out.)

"Metropolises will continue to provide sanctuary"

Excuse me, but what the fuck? Cities have always been a meat grinder - difficult to establish yourself and sustain yourself with a lack of community and higher costs of living.

Oh, wait, I forgot, these type of people think that we should hand out free shit, and since cities have more people, they have more shit to give.

I grew up in NYC. As a kid, I remember the place when it was dangerous, dirty, and shitty. I was in high school during the Dinkins years when there were increasingly aggressive homeless people on EVERY block. It was bearable back then, because in spite of the shittiness, there were fascinating people who lived there. As a young adult, I loved being able to walk into a bar, sit down, and talk to whoever was drinking. You'd meet the most fascinating people with a wide range of incredible jobs. There was always something to learn. Then the new generation moved in.

Now, when you walk into a bar in NYC (which you probably can't now anyway), you're going to talk to some low IQ wannabe Cardashian who somehow fumbles their way though a $120k a year job doing nothing, creating nothing, never growing mentally beyond the age of about 14.

A lot of the interesting old architecture is gone; torn down in favor of glass monstrosities that serve as dwellings for the vapid wastes of space who have taken over the city.

In spite of Sharpton's rabble rousing, there was a lot more racial harmony in the NYC I grew up in. My friends were of all colors, religions, and backgrounds. Now, the city feels segregated; rich stuck up white people thumbing their noses at the blacks and hispanics who are relegated to the public housing a few blocks away, if they can even get in there.

The people who worked for a living all seem to be gone. Many of the NYC police went from being worthy of respect to being an over sensitivity-trained diversity hire laden joke, worthy of the disdain of any real New Yorker who works for a living.

The old NYC could come back from something like this, because it had a solid foundation. That foundation has eroded so badly that it is almost non-existent at this point. Couple that with the bandwidth that allows us to work from anywhere and that's the final nail in the coffin.

NYC is gone for decades and will look more like Detroit every day until it's inevitable collapse. Only then, MAYBE, will there be a resurgence.

I used to live in the Bay Area and that description hits me deep. The west coast still has fewer fashiony Kardashiite types (excluding LA of course), and in Silicon Valley, there are at least some fraction of engineers who are in fact making something that might have value. But still, everyone is just a well paid college kid who laughs about "adulting" at their friend's MCU viewing marathon.

The rich are moving out. She is right about that. But the being reborn part is not happening. Why would it? What advantage does someone have living in NYC now that the "rich" corps and people are out?

Sure maybe the apartments are cheaper a little bit - maybe commercial real estate is cheaper. But its not an advantage compared to other places. NYC did well because of the amount of rich intelligent ambitious people living there. The people were the greatest resource.

It's like that anywhere. It's the people really - not the place. So let DeBlasio gobble up resources at low prices. Its not going to work. Those places only have value because of the people that used to live in NYC and the people that used to go to NYC.

The left does not REALLY know how the world works and that's why they end up with egg on their faces all the time. The Left has mostly trained on destroying the good - and they are unfortunately very effective at that. It's easy to tear down - its hard to build up.

God I hope you are right. I really do, my life fell apart a few years back and I became homeless. I set my sites on the big apple for the opportunity it could afford me, I didn't have anything else so this city was all I had. Just as I was getting back on my feet, a roof over my head and good food in my belly, just when I was thinking that I would never go hungry again it all got shut down.

I came here for the open mic nights, the theatrical jobs, the acting jobs, the voice acting jobs all of it. All for it to fall apart just when I was ready to start fighting for my slice of the american dream.

It would really suck for me if I wake up tomorrow in the new Detroit.

Not impossible, my little dimple-cheeked dummy! But impossible with people like you calling any shots.

I do believe that a big problem with big cities is that income disparity leads to a lot of social unrest. I'm talking disparity like 100,000 idiots earning $400K for manipulating stocks, unions making $200K for not working, all while a barber and a policeman is getting regulated into the ground. That kind of manipulation is only possible once a city gets big enough that no one knows nothing anymore.

However, when a deblasio gets in charge, he thinks a great gesture is to move bums into a 5-star hotels, as if 5-star hotels just magically happen and the "rich" are hoarding them.

Just left the suburb of NY that literally touches the Bronx. Moved completely out of state. I drove into Manhattan all the time. The problem isn’t exactly that the city is turning to shit. COVId has forced the city to collapse. People aren’t in the streets. There is nothing to fucking do. People pay a lot to live there to have access to anything you want to do. There is nothing you’re allowed to do. No food, haircuts, gyms, parks, pools, you can eat outside if it doesn’t rain. Congrats, if it’s not fucking 90 or 30 degrees out, that seems decent but it fucking sucks. Soon every fucking city pigeon will be over your plate. No one wants to live in a god damn 4000 dollar concrete box with nowhere to go. You’re in prison with all the other lunatics. Everyone is getting the fuck out. What is hysterical is that everyone in the city is moving to the county next door. THE WHOLE TRI STATE AREA IS SUPPORTED BY MANHATTAN. when the city fails so does every fucking thing around it. CT NY and NJ are completely fucked. Most of the states revenue alone comes from NYC. Holy fucking stupid the Left has literally destroyed itself Donald Trump is the greatest man ever for doing this. This lady is dumb as the fucking floor she walks on. Enjoy Baghdad NY. It’ll be there soon.

Name a super metro area, lacking affluent people that isn't rife with problems.

Name one.

Here in OC/LA, the break point for 'decent place to live' seems to be about when average home values are over $1M.

My parents just sold their home for $800k and moved up for exactly the reason that they felt the neighborhood went to shit, and was only going to get worse from there.

Can you non-CA pedes even imagine living in an (old, non-luxurious) home worth $800k and still having homeless on every corner, shit on the streets, rampant theft, numerous local gangs etc?

If this is NY's stance, it's going to look like "Escape from New York" in 80 years.
