I visited Manhattan last year, and when I looked at the jobs that are done there, about 70% of them were on computers and could easily be moved somewhere cheaper. The whole skyscraper crowding/high cost/commuting thing made no sense to me at all.

How is that free tuition working out for him?

I MOVED to NYC in 1969 and lasted 4 DAYS and spent $1000.00 on EATINg and TAXIS!!!

The limousine Liberals don’t like the middle class. They clog up their roads.

[Jane Long]

Lol! Four days!! That’s a lot of dough, for 1969, I would imagine. Even in NYC. 😂

[son of terrence]

Born and raised and fleeing shortly!

[unixfox]

And yet they continue to vote for the geniuses that run the state into the ground.

AOC wants to tear down all the buildings anyway.

I think Hitler proposed the same thing for Berlin, right before Russia marched into the city.

Its a good Hitler wanted it torn down, the Russians a fine job of that.

Cuomo blames Trump!

Oh no, this is just terrible, this means New York might not vote for Trump!!

LMAO, s*cks to be you Cuomo. LOLOLOL

This should be front page on cnn and USA today webpages. Of course, crickets.

Unfortunately upstate population is dying off. I’d bet the average age just upstate is probably 67 years old.

[SaxxonWoods]

I’m still in Colorado, just way out west. It’s fine. Denver is a horror, but the boonies/non-tourists areas are still good to go.

[Secret Agent Man]

Actually we need walls all around nyc, dont let anyone out.

Same with most large urban socialist hellholes.

Cordon them off, let em starve off, then remove the dead filth.

[Theoria]

Enough New Yorkers fleeing to tip the scales permanently to blue forever across the country. Same with California. Not cool. The South will be lost in a few years with the amount of migration from blue states.

[Tzimisce]

Yeah?

So?

Raise taxes.

There - I fixed the New York problem. :)

[BlueStateRightist]

New York City (and its environs) is the necrotic tumor. We need to care more about the metastases.

[mewzilla]

Note to the nation from the wasteland known as Upstate: Keep voting for ‘Rats and RINOs and all this, too, can be yours!

[Kozy]

why what they need is 25,000 $150,00/yr.jobs. Oh wait, AOC now on the Finance and Oversight Committee said “No!” We only want $15.00/hr. like I pay my interns and for illegals only.

[fruser1]

Don’t worry, the feds will bail them out like last time.

The "local" AM radio news' top of the hour feed ran a fear mongering story about how tax payers (not defined by state or bracket) were being suddenly surprised by "Trump and the republican's" tax reform.

No mention of how higher state county and municipal taxes that are now capped and no longer paid through deductions by the citizens of lower taxed states through federal taxes.

The story left the reasons for the surprise up to the listener's own imagination. The sad part is this was ran during Rush's show..
