This is way less a simple reflection of the times and higher earners being replaced with lower earners. No, this is a direct result of the failures of Governor Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill Deblasio. The failures just keep coming in and in every angle. Defunding police and promoting and protecting protesters and rioters while so many others are and were punished for minor infractions. Deblasio still running around playing sheriff with anyone daring to try and live their lives. And in addition to all of that, crime and murders are up hugely. And Cuomo is busy running around trying to find cover for his mistake in getting thousands and thousands of elderly killed in nursing homes. The decisions these 2 have made over the past year alone are directly responsible for why $34 billion walked out of the City. :rolleyes:

Rich People Are Leaving New York City And Taking $34 Billion With Them
New York City’s richest residents are fleeing the city during the pandemic and they’re taking $34 billion with them, Reuters reported.
But while the high-income residents leave, people with lower incomes are taking their place, according to a Reuters report that looks at migration patterns. The demographic change could have a long-term impact on the city known for its steep cost of living.
Between Jan. 1 and Dec. 7, 3.57 million people left New York City, the Unacast study found by analyzing anonymized cell phone data. Nearly 3.5 million people with lower incomes moved into the city, however, the data suggests that the exodus of New Yorkers after months of lockdowns and other restrictions due to the pandemic isn’t as large as anticipated.
But the loss of income may have long-term consequences, especially if it’s compounded by a significant population decrease.
Thomas Walle, chief executive and co-founder of Unacast, told Reuters that the average resident of Tribeca who left in 2020 earned about $140,000, while the person taking their place in the wealthy neighborhood earned an average $82,000.
The data shows that many New Yorkers are going to other parts of the state outside of the city, or are moving to nearby states, including New Jersey and Connecticut. Nearly 10% are going down south, especially to Florida.
“The big question is, ‘How does real estate and retail in particular adapt to that?’” Walle said.
Manhattan real-estate sales experienced the largest decline in 30 years in July amid apprehension about coronavirus shifting buyer preferences. The rental market, however, was what brokers said will face the most immediate pressure since renters can leave the city easily.
