Been watching a MacBook repairman for a while, and found this gem. Essentially the city will become empty because:
Everything that people would stay in NYC to do and be worth the taxes is closed due to quarantine,

Foreign wealthy people (probably mainly CCP) own hundreds, if not thousands of buildings that they don’t care to rent because it’s just there for tax writeoffs.
Just food for thought. Ideally, my solution to this would be a vacancy tax for commercially coded buildings, but I’d love to know if anyone had a better idea than that. Oh, also for Congress to pass a law stating foreigners aren’t allowed to own more than a certain amount of property in the whole country, if they can own any property at all.
For some reason, only ex-USSR and ex-Cubans actually do so. Everyone else (including ex-Venezuelans) votes to shit up the place they moved to. And the kids of the Cubans do too.
