#2 Then-President Jerry Ford's denial of a bailout to a hapless city then being held hostage by unions and criminals actually was a tremendous boost to Gotham in the long run.

Today we are also being held hostage by unions and criminals on a national scale. Can we channel Pres. Ford?

#3 Aren't "unions" and "criminals" redundant?

#4 A great way to revive NYC is obvious. There are large parts of the city that are essentially ruins, especially in The Bronx. Burned out shells of buildings that could be bulldozed, much like what is being contemplated in Detroit.

Then, when the economy improves, instead of just planning a single building, an entire district could be revitalized, from below the ground, up. New infrastructure, new everything. Very high value.

#5 Schumer and ~~Schumerette~~Gillibrand have much to answer for. It's a pity that NY's GOP is moribund.

#6 The same New York city that won't let you carry a gun of smoke; now complain of stupid government decisions. Ha!

Watch the taxpayers move South.

#8 Watch the taxpayers move South.

Odly enough they won't, I guess they're used to the shitty way they're treated, and can't imagine any better.

#9 These workers won't move to Texas, they will move to London, Zurich or Singapore.

#10 Zurich is a bit expensive, but Colmar and Basel have quite a lot to offer.

#11 New York was scared into sobering up (a little)

For a little while, perhaps. We still have union problems, HOARDS of enablers, and regulation enough to drown a lemonade stand. Note, BTW that the WTC site still is not rebuilt, or even close... How much more 'prime' can real estate get?
