Bill de Blasio cheers as New York's tax base flees
[NYPOST] One local industry is booming: moving companies, because so many New Yorkers are fleeing the city for the ’burbs in the wake of the pandemic, the spike in violent mostly peaceful crime and the general rise in disorder. And Mayor Comrade Bill de Blasio
...cryptocommie mayor of New York and for some reason a Dem candidate for president in 2020. Corrupt and incompetent, his qualifications for office seem to consist of being married to a black woman, with whom he honeymooned in Cuba. He has a preppy-looking son named Dante, whose Divine Comedy involved getting his back hair up when a police car drove past him slowly. New Yorkers voted for him, so they deserve him...
’s answer is to cheer.Perry Chance of Show Up movers told The Post his "volume has increased by at least 70 percent" in the past few months. "[People] say the rich are leaving New York. Well, they are!"

July saw a 44 percent rise in home sales in area suburbs — with an astounding 112 percent hike in Westchester County — over the same month last year, reports Miller Samuel Real Estate Appraisers & Consultants. Manhattan property sales sank 56 percent.

New Yorkers keep moving out of the city to suburbs, other states

New Jersey and Connecticut ’burbs are seeing the same. Heck, brokers all the way out in North Fork say business is booming — because more and more workers figure a long commute is no longer an issue, as they’ll work from home most of the time.

The exodus will tank city revenues, but de Blasio’s stuck on his old, old tune: "Help me tax the wealthy. Help me redistribute wealth," he told WNYC’s Brian Lehrer last week.

So much for his promises to be the mayor for all New Yorkers: He’d rather drive the city down than face reality.

#1 Those who cannot afford to leave suddenly find themselves being very equal.

True equality is total poverty for all.

#2 ..there are always 'relative' one percenters. Correlates with those having power.
