a culture and ecosystem that promotes entrepreneurship and a talent pool to execute that entrepreneurship. The talent pool comes there because it’s a desirable place to be. That’s why New York is full of finance firms. The talent wants to be where the restaurants and culture are (and the politics that suits them).
financial transaction tax in NYC?

And here's the new Texas (Port Arthur to be exact). The only difference is that this is representative of the entire city and it won't be any better a year from now.
We can play this cherry picking game all day long. Or you can come to the realization that there are crappy places throughout the U.S. no matter where you go, even NYC. And that massive events like the COVID pandemic can cause big disruptions especially in big cities. NYC looked worse than this after 9/11 and Sandy in my experience at least, neither of which makes whatever point you're trying to make. Of course that would be a nuanced, adult view of the world I'd challenge you to grow into.

The original comment was about top corporate and wealthy people moving back to NYCAnd here's the new Texas (Port Arthur to be exact). The only difference is that this is representative of the entire city and it won't be any better a year from now.

How did Port Arthur come into this conservation? oh , it was cherry picked
No, the original post was asking if NYC had implemented an FTT. I'll wait while you go back and read it. In the second post of the thread I provided an answer in the most direct, succinct and accurate manner possible. I'll wait while you go read that too.
You, on the other hand, decided to post a picture of a boarded up building in NYC in this thread. Based on the original topic, which you're now inordinately concerned with, it could only mean you were trying to tie a FTT that doesn't exist in NYC with boarded up windows in NYC. Making it very inconvenient for you when I point out that there are boarded up windows in towns everywhere in the U.S., that NYC has had boarded up windows after 9/11 and Sandy, and that the boarded up windows you posted pictures of had absolutely nothing to do with a non-existent FTT in NYC.
The only question remaining is, what, exactly, was the point of your post again?

Still don't know that you know what your point is? Is it that a picture of a boarded up window in NYC means NYC is no longer a desirable place to be and it's talent pool ecosystem is gone? If all it takes to demonstrate that in your mind is a picture of a boarded up window, then like I said, that's pretty facile given there were plenty of boarded up windows after 9/11/2001 and 11/2/2012 and what do you know NYC still to this day is turning out more than 8% of the nation's GDP despite being less than 5% of the country's population.
This whole conservative wet dream of everyone "fleeing" NYC and California is just idiotic, not to mention very eye opening as to the whole "winners and losers" mentality of those who feel the need to push that view. On the other hand I'd like nothing more than for the Port Arthurs of the world to prosper. I don't need someone else to to "flee" or lose to feel better about myself or what I believe in.
