The Liberal Dems have done their level best to destroy NYC and are successful..........

i’m thinking a lot of those businesses looted in chicago won’t come back

[Paladin2]

"....$264,000 monthly rent...."

Sounds unsustainable.

Even in good times.

And this is from the New York Times!

I was able to trade 2 1 OZ silver coins for a Manhattan Penthouse. It seemed like a good deal but it turns out the place is on fire and the taxes are 1 trillion a month.

And so it begins. New Yorkers asked for this by voting for the Cuomos and Deblahdeblahs. Now they get to live with it.

“There’s no reason to do business in New York,”

Whatdya mean?!? Cuomo said he'd buy you a drink -- dinner, even! Ya ungrateful wretch!

LOL

[Justa]

NYT, it can’t report without lying.

“in Florida — where the virus is far worse...”

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

$264,000 a month rent OMG they have got to be kidding me!! WHY in the hell would ANYONE return NO WAY!!{

[Retrofitted]

And now they move on to other states to spread the disease then shrug their shoulders and say “I don’t know what happened.”

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Yep! All part of the plan.

It will not just be NYC. It will be every city whose Marxist mayor is not just allowing rioting but encouraging it. Seattle, Portland, Milwaukie, Chicago, etc...
When Nov. 4th arrives and Donald Trump is reelected in a landslide those places will descend into decay as the sane who made the mistake to live there for whatever reason abandon those places as soon as they are able.

Manhattan was so famous a long time ago, the city even had an alcoholic drink named after it.

Here I sit,
Broken hearted...

“Now they get to live with it.”

I disagree. Now they will move and take their libtarded politics with them and destroy that place

[fhayek]

..and this is midtown Manhattan. Why would anyone operate in the, uh, “urban” areas of any large city. Costs and shrink are high under the best of circumstances. Employees are not dependable, and there is the ever present possibility of “social justice”.

Leave the burnt out shells and get the hell out of Dodge...

I (won’t) take Manhattan.
