Trending on FauxNews right now regarding the NY exodus.

I’ll assume what they say is true:

  1. NY is heavily indebted at both the state and city levels.
  2. The exodus creates a downward death spiral in terms of tax revenue.
  3. NY will lose a house seat, and potentially more down the road.

What is NY’s future? What are our fellow NYers gonna do?

NYC survived the 70s, 9/11 and the Great Recession - they will survive this as well. Real estate prices will be down for a while but investors will swoop in and capitalize when the pandemic becomes a distant memory, and in this day and age a distant memory is about 2 years.

NYC is the one with the really big debt problem (especially pensions).

Of course, NYC going under will be a problem for the whole state. But at least it is able to declare bankruptcy, unlike the state.

In addition, NY may lose two House seats, not only one.

But do you get a commission when ao_fan sells? I bigger commission the sooner she sells, if real estate really tanks.
