A rational person would realize that if it takes a $3.5 billion tax abatement to attract all that investment, jobs and construction, then your high tax rates and byzantine regulations are stifling and preventing all sorts of productive investment. Of course the “progressive socialists” are incapable of this insight, so the decline and poverty in NYC will only worsen.
Well, apparently $3.5 billion is NOT ENOUGH to overcome those hurdles. New York State is the cluster that cannot un-f##@K itself.
