From the New York Post:
Slashing NYPD budget by $1B will lead to more lawlessness, police unions warn
Plans to slash the NYPD’s budget by $1 billion threaten to further plunge the Big Apple into “lawlessness” and it’s the communities that will pay, union officials and police sources said Monday.
“Mayor [Bill] de Blasio’s message to New Yorkers today was clear: you will have fewer cops on your streets,” Police Benevolent Association president Patrick Lynch said in a statement.
“Shootings more than doubled again last week. Even right now, the NYPD doesn’t have enough manpower to shift cops to one neighborhood without making another neighborhood less safe.”
The Mayor’s attitude towards police doesn’t help.
The prediction of lawlessness came to fruition quickly.

Why should an NYPD officer risk being hurt by being hit by glass bottles and other hard objects being thrown for a city that clearly doesn’t care about them, a mayor that doesn’t support them, and where they will get thrown under the bus and destroyed for defending themselves?
New York City is now the wealthiest Third World shithole in the Western hemisphere. Good job everybody there.
No Shopping, No Theatre, No Overbooked Restaurant to be seen at, No Cocktail Party that can’t be missed?
Mr. C-Level Executive and wanna-be Master of the Universe and his Trophy Wife have no reason to be in Manhattan, and he is also slowly realizing that 99% of his employees do not need to work in Manhattan either.
He is probably keeping half his analysts busy quantifying just how much money the Corporation can save by relocating to Dallas, Atlanta, or a half dozen other more friendly business centers. The other analysts are looking at how to break the lease on that sleek Manhattan Office Tower, and all the other NYC real estate they are leasing.
Sell early, before the prices collapse?
After COVID Mr. C-Suite is pricing having no office and having analysis work via VPN. Also, he’s having movers relocate the rest of his stuff from his condo in NYC to his summer beach home in Ft. Lauderdale.
And then there are the second and third order effects.
Why does your advertising agency need to be on Madison Avenue in NYFC if most of your advertising is on platforms run by Social Media companies in San Jose CA?
Your taylor?
Your Car Service?
Werner Wilhelm and his inept governance may go down in history as the mayor that killed the Big Apple. He is getting a big assist from Governor Andrew the Lesser Cuomo and the Chinese Coronavirus.

NYC should be walled in, like CHAZ/CHOP should have.
