There's been talk about the collapse of NYC here for years. It did just did not materialize the way they expected. Personal income and sales tax receipts are the highest they have ever been in the city.

Some people left and working remotely made that incredibly easy to leave during the pandemic, but at the end of the day, people still love that city regardless of any of our opinions. It costs an exorbitant amount of money to live there, but rent prices keep going up because people are willing to pay it. If vacancies are up and rent prices are down, then I will worry about NYC.

People were seemingly rooting for NYC to fail and have a difficult time accepting that it never happened.

This runs contrary to Mamdani’s platform. If people can pay the exorbitant rents and vacancies are low, why do you need rent control. The market seems to be working fine.

NYC won’t collapse. That’s just an extreme position you take to try to prove a point. Net migration continues to decline though.

To prevent poor people from being priced out so they can stay in their home? Not even something I’d necessarily agree with, but the idea behind it isn’t that hard to grasp.

I’d be happy to revisit our old posts here where you were predicting doom for NYC during the pandemic and I was saying those fears were overblown and their tax revenue from income and tourism would rebound quickly. Turns out people still want to visit and live there same as they did before the pandemic.

Net migration continues to decline though.

As it has for decades because it is the most densely populated city in the country. They wouldn’t be able to sustain net inflows each year, but the outflows of covid are over and outflows were the lowest they have been in a decade last year. Outflows were higher when Guiliani was Mayor than they are today.

Those predicting the demise of NYC, and you were one of them, were wrong.

I haven’t read the detail of his policies but is he proposing rent control just for poor people? And I was just suggesting based on your statement about vacancies not being a problem.

The net migration continues to decline (along with California and Illinois) being the top three states.

I certainly didn’t as a business owner there. unless you’re .5%, it’s not a nice city to live in these days. It doesn’t feel as safe as before. Just an opinion.
