Ya, but I'd say there is a very good chance that NYC will 'elect' a socialist mayor who has already said that he will make everything gov't owned. We have plenty of history to show how that will end up. I think we can say that less than half the people in the city now are useful people. If that number was larger then they wouldn't have had the socialist mayors of late either. So they are past the point of no return there. Socialism will come in. Everything will collapse - like it always does under socialism. The Left will screech because Trump will not fund them. The city will die and the useful people will come back in and buy it back up for pennies. IJ> I'm not sure what to say...

IJ> Normal people with money will move... they'll loose all their tax base. IJ> Companies will move out of the city and again they'll loose taxes... Just like the Socialist Utopia of California. If it wasn't for the Deep State in Washington propping them up with our tax dollars, California would have failed hard long ago. ....
