Is New York City Open For Business?

[Palumboism]

NYC is in the process of "reopening" - but will the businesses come back? Many were on the way out long before COVID-19, and the rate of closures & vacancies does not appear to be going down.

I walked from 29th st to 19th st, 6th ave to 5th ave. Look at how many vacancies there are. This is insane.

NYC's reopening, but businesses aren't coming back

[Thin Lizzy]

That’s why big real estate was backing Eric Adams, an ex cop, in the mayors race. The white Libtards didn’t want him.

Whooooo caressss NY IS A SHITHOLE!

[Body-Buildah]

A shithole of a place. Druggies, scum, pavement apes and libtards.
Ill take my hillbilly-home in the hills any day of the week.

If there's one thing I hate, is people, and there aren't many around.

Ironically, a big city can be appealing for the same reason. There are so many people that it’s easy to be anonymous as opposed to a small town where everyone knows everyone else’s business.

It will be back. The housing market is already showing signs of a badly wanted recovery.

Rossman makes some interesting content, but I think  he already made his mind up about NY's death (I could be wrong, but I seem to remember a series of videos he did where he was pissed that rents hadn't fallen more)  and I don't think walking that stretch of 6th avenue is a good gauge of a possible recovery.

I live near NYC.  Real estate in NJ is going through the roof from people fleeing NYC.  Houses are going above asking price with crazy bidding on houses.

I have a coworker who sold a house in Connecticut and he said he had six offers in nine hours over asking price.  Your post confirms my suspicions on what's going on.

Agree with Al. We heard the same thing after 9/11. None of the big Real Estate Projects shut down for more than a few weeks during the pandemic. Restaurants seem busier than ever with all the outdoor dining. Plus, the law and order candidate is going to be Mayor, no thanks to White Libs, and he exposed a dirty little secret.

“White liberals are more left-wing than black and Hispanic Democrats on pretty much every issue,” Democratic pollster Davis Shor argues in New York Magazine, “even on racial issues or various measures of ‘racial resentment.’”

White libtards, the Major-Cucks of the West. They fight for BBC rights!

[Rambone]

Democrats ruin another city. I’m shocked!

This is a good piece. Shor is a Democrat who worked under Obama and continually saying shit the Libtard interviewer doesn’t want to hear.

lol - spoken like a person that has never travelled globally. NYC sucks. Lived there as a kid then moved, thank god.

[El Diablo Blanco]

They should shut down the rat hole city.  Fucking useless.

[GymnJuice]

It's fun if you have money and are in Manhattan.  Otherwise can be miserable.

That applies everywhere, haha

It can be miserable anywhere, but one of the reasons people love this city is because there is so much great stuff to do regardless of how much money you have. Most NYers aren't as obsessed with Manhattan being the end all as people outside of it. If you are under 40 and have an active social life, there's a good chance you spend a lot of time in Brooklyn.

This is the first video of  Rossman's I saw.  He explains why non-millionaires don't feel like they belong in NY.  Rossman has lived in New York city his entire life.  What is your opinion of this video?

NYC imposter syndrome explained: that lingering feeling non-millionaires don't belong here.

People living beyond their means, paycheck-to-paycheck.

Happens everywhere but probably more likely in a high-cost city.
