Cuomo calls on wealthy to return to NYC

Hardly wealthy but i'm not going back to that shithole while that worthless communist is still mayor, if I can help it.

Cuomo calls on wealthy that have fled NYC to return. He says he needs them back and will even buy them a beer or eat dinner with them. Pretty hilarious. Come pay thousands in taxes and I’ll buy you a beer.

WITH TAXPAYER MONIES


That boy has one hell of an ego!
He must think being in his presence is an honor.

How long before he starts building a wall to keep productive people in ?

We're in the middle of building a house in AZ right now, and honestly I feel like the people trying to get to west Berlin before the wall goes up.

"and will even buy them a beer or eat dinner with them. "

F... him. He's so full of himself. Eat dinner with him? I wouldn't even want to be seen in the same restaurant as him.
Prior to the pandemic people left NY because of him. With the pandemic, more have found a better quality of life out side NYC. Come back? LOL
Asking the wealthy to come back to NYC, why? so he can fuck them over again. F... him.

As I do not know any rich hoity toity types, do they live in NYC because of the " I live on Park Ave" thing?
The only real experience that I have with the city is from the show Sex in the City and it seems that it is fashionable to reside there .
I don't get the allure. I do not like the crowds of people that as always pictured on sidewalks, the street people, the traffic, the attitude ( if tv is factually correct). My buddy is from the Jersey Shore area and says that what you see on Snookie's show is real. No thank you!

I have never been there in the 28 yrs that I've been in NY and still have no desire to go.
The closest that I have been was this side of the GWB last fall to pick up my son & his broke down Jeep.
When I worked at BassPro / Tracker Marine, we sent a couple of boats and stuff every year for a filming of " Fox and Friends" . When asked if I wanted to go I always said hell no. One guy blew out a tire a pontoon boat trailer entering the tunnel...another year it was " Lets take the pontoon off the trailer and float it in this pond that we made." . After the filming, it was " Alrighty, put it back on the trailer " . Two guys, no equipment. just the truck bottle jack and a couple of 2x4s.....

@Target - NYC definitely =/= Jersey Shore.

In fairness (if you're into it) NYC has, among other things- 40,000+ restaurants where you can get authentic and quality food originating in just about any country on earth, world class museums (arms and armor at the Met is a favorite of mine), more than half a dozen major sports teams, probably 100's of theaters and other music/theatrical venues of varying size, I could go on... there are lots of reasons people want to live there.

Most all of which are essentially shut down now and may never return to their former glory, at least not for a long time and certainly not while we have a Sandinista in Gracie Mansion.

Its also mighty convenient to live where you work if, like I used to, you work 70, 80 hours a week.

Who is John Galt?

Bwahahahah

Hahahahahahahaha

Imagine if Trump's wealth was tied up in Mexican copper mines....

expect him to pass a 75% of total wealth tax if you leave the state.

Its not his fault people are leaving, Just ask him.

One thing this COVID thing did is to show many companies that the can have a productive work force remotely. How many will say good by to the pricey office space in Manhattan? Time will tell but unless there is a dramatic change NYC is heading towards Detroit down a steep grade with no brakes and a blown 1st gear

Carl Icahn has officially ditched NYC for Florida

My firm is very much taking a hard look at how much money they spend on leasing office space. One of the issues preventing them from making any sudden moves is long term leases (which, ordinarily, are not a bad thing in and of themselves).

Schools too, proof your not needed unless everyone fails this year!
Sell the buildings get them on the tax rolls!
Look at your tax bill mine is higher than my property tax. If you rent your paying both taxes only can't take them off in April.

Actually, I'll go governer Dicknose one better.

By not commuting on Metro North, not wearing a suit every day, and not eating lunch and dinner in the city, I am actually WEALTHIER working from home in the burbs than when I was commuting.

Wife is in that boat too... No Commute... No gas, No tolls, No nothing... Sits at the kitchen counter in her PJ's with a laptop, a cup of coffee and at least one of 3 Doberman noses in her lap most of the day. This thing has saved us almost $700 a month in expenses. And her company (Key Bank) is saying nobody is going back into the office until at least January 10th... They may even shut that particular office down altogether.
