Right now several large employers have started moving people out of the NYC area to Texas, not enough to really harm the city’s economy but if it continues for several more years the city’s economy will start to shrink along with its revenue

A lot of employers are building more space in Texas but they’re not really moving people out of NYC per se, in fact maybe even slightly the opposite. But it’s hard considering there’s not a whole lot of room to build there anymore

There has not been a lot of room to build in New York for a hundred years. That isn’t what’s happening here. It’s companies moving their C-Suite execs elsewhere. It’s an indication that they don’t have plans to expand in NYC.

The fact that they moved their leadership out is in of itself usually an indication that a company sees its long term future elsewhere. These are the kind of things it will take time to feel the effects of but surely as the sun will rise tomorrow NYC will feel them. I will say that because of the insane concentration of wealth in NYC they do have a much larger cushion than the rest of the country but don’t think that NYC can’t end up like Detroit did.

On the whole they’re really not though, there’s just some very vocal critics. The housing market is tighter than it’s ever been and the office vacancy rate is also really low. But yeah it’s hard and expensive to vastly expand headcount there whereas building in Texas is really cheap so that’s what a lot of companies are doing right now

He never advocated for free parking or ice cream, and free busses is a big promise that will take time to achieve.

i think people understand that there is a real practical reason the free buses aren’t a thing yet, especially with everything else he’s been doing. ppl trust him

He doesn’t need an excuse, he didn’t promise either of those things.
