It is really just like every failing policy, they push for more government and higher taxation, it doesn't work out years later, complete failure, so these dupes and morons always call for more government and higher taxation to fix the problems they voted for before, and that makes it worse over time, so they call for more government and higher taxes and you can guess how this ends, a repetitive doom loop until a revolution, a revolution that will exist to extract more wealth from everyone else till the system falls apart and there is a lack of other peoples' money to spend and no one bothers investing anymore, anyone with capital and wealth long have fled to greener pastures. That is what will happen to NYC in the future, just wait and watch and get the popcorn ready.
