I understand that, but you also pay some NY income tax as well as a city income tax. Friends that ride the rails into NYC from NJ say the cars aren’t as crowded as they were before the Greater Depression. Even on 9/11 lives were saved by the vacancy rates in the World Trade Center - and construction of the replacement was delayed because there wasn’t (and still isn’t) sufficient demand to justify building it. Instead they’ll try to load it up with government agencies and such...
Not everyone works in the financial center. People need to man up and widen their work territory. I get tired of NJ people who not only never use Manhattan for entertainment, wouldn’t even THINK of working there. They’re idiots.
Some NYC fans are in denial that many of the jobs there have moved to NJ as well...
NYC reached its heyday 50+ years ago; when I was younger it was just a place to buy drugs, weapons, or fireworks.
Oh, please.
... and of course the MSM attempts to spin this into some sort of negative for Trump, whereas the people in the south and midwest who voted for and support Trump see it as a promise fulfilled. As if the empty hulks of former factory buildings don’t exist or something, jeez it’s like these people never leave their little coastal bubble cities to see what the real world looks like.
I didn’t declare NYC a “sanctuary city”; that was done by people who understand that without illegals half the city (and 90% of its schools) would be empty. It is a city far past its prime; the ports in Newark & Elizabeth have made NYC geographically irrelevant.
