What’s the consensus? We want NY to bleed dry right? Let Manhattan businesses and the yuppie/hipster scum leave. Let the hood and essential businesses thrive.
I’m with it as long as it also brings the cost of living down.

Imbalanced individual.
Can’t imagine what’s going on in their head to follow through with such awful acts.

Yeah there was a rash of this going in the Bronx and BK at different times some years back.
Hate to see it.
At least it isnt the random slasher attack.

Man NYC isnt dead. Queens, BK, BX still thriving at a solid pace. Idc about Staten Island.
Manhatten? Sure. The majority of the transplants moved out. Who wouldn't though if you have to work from home? No one wants to pay 4k rent to work from home. City folks want their happy hours, broadway shows and packed bars at 3am. That's why you pay those prices. Prices in the city dropped obviously, but unless you got money, you're not buying. Because no one wants to live in a relatively empty Manhatten that's not buzzing for the next 1-2 years. One day people are gonna have to come back to work at the office and prices of city condos will skyrocket again.
This new wave of homeless is annoying though. These meth addicts everywhere now. Also the number of shootings in the BX have been insane. But thats the dirty *** Bronx and you kinda just brush it off.
But to anyone hoping or thinking NYC will go back to the way it was in the 80s, hell no. It won't, nor should you want it to.

The spot at 3:14 looks a vacated torture room. Imagine someone inviting you over & you walk into that

If true they must be coming for these essential jobs that are all hiring. But the article provided no detail on how tracking cell phones means they relocated permanently

92% increase in shootings, homeless man pushing a woman on the tracks in times square, a kid visiting from Indiana got shot in Bushwick.....sorry but that sounds like typical 80s NYC right there....I blame this on DeBlasio.

His recent videos are about the city dying and wanting to move since it's affecting his business.

Astor Place Hairstylists, known for its affordable cuts and international staff, will close at the end of November "unless some miracle happens," floor manager Frank Luciano said on Sunday. The COVID-19 pandemic has "killed us," Luciano said, explaining that business is down 90 percent since they reopened in June during NYC's second phase of pandemic business reopenings.
"At full staff we had 54 barbers and beauticians," Luciano said. "Now we're down to 25 at most, depending on the day. We are following all the protocols and spacing everything out, with partitions, but we're not able to cover expenses."
Astor Place Hair opened in 1946, according to Luciano, and once occupied several floors in the building at 2 Astor Place. Rising rents forced owners John and Paul Vezza to consolidate operations in the basement in 2004.
The Vezza brothers are the third generation in their family to own and operate the barbershop, but they do not own the building, and Luciano could not say how much they pay in rent.
The building is owned by GFP Real Estate, formerly know as Newmark Holdings, which bought the building in 2017. (A spokesperson for GFP did not immediately respond to a request for comment.)
Luciano said Mayor Bill de Blasio stopped by on Saturday for a haircut, as he has done ever since he was a student at NYU. "Maybe he can do something," Luciano said. "Everybody's calling now asking what they can do. Hopefully some miracle will happen to keep us afloat."
De Blasio also got his hair cut at Astor Place Hairstylists in June to celebrate the launch of pandemic Phase 2 reopenings.
“After hearing the horrible news, the Mayor visited his friends at Astor Place Hair on Saturday," de Blasio spokesperson Bill Neidhardt said in an email. "They are a true New York City small business institution and we hope for a positive path forward.”
There is precedent for de Blasio intervening to help a struggling business negotiate with their landlord. In January, de Blasio and other officials managed to save historic Queens bar Neir's Tavern from closing. Unfortunately, it may need saving again.

People were being pushed on tracks way before the pandemic. There's always a couple of incidents a year regarding this.
The shootings being up is a concern though. I mentioned it before I think. Numbers in the Bronx are insane. Everyone is home and got themselves a gun.
Dumb Blasio is gonna be out the paint. By June 2021 most jobs arent gonne be work from home anymore and people will start moving back here.
