Gov. Andrew Cuomo is begging wealthy New Yorkers to return to the city to save it from economic ruin while fighting off calls from other lawmakers to raise their taxes, a move he fears could permanently drive the top 1 percent out of the city.
Thousands of New York City residents fled Manhattan and Brooklyn earlier this year when the city was the COVID-19 epicenter of the world.
Many flocked to their second homes in the Hamptons or upstate, while others rented or bought new properties, abandoning their expensive city apartments.

Has anyone investigated the guono twins to see if they have been taking HCQ, we know the idiot brother on cnn was taking a ...ahem... derivative of HCQ. Who knew there was a derivative? How was he able to get his sleazy paws on it? How many other entertainers, politicians and elites are taking HCQ, and hording it from the public?
glad they are leaving
It’s great when you have the money to move but for me and millions of other we are stuck with our socialist government.
Cuomo is not poor... let him, his family and friends reach into their pockets first... to save NY not just the City of New York.
Cuomo is using taxpayer money to destroy New York City.
Are you going to beg Donald J. Trump to come back?
the only hope for New York City is for new governor and mayor that's it.
And he needs to take diblowsio with him!! I hope the voters get smart enough to vote in a Republican governor and mayor.
The only way that New York City can be saved is if Cuomo packs up and leaves himself. He's done the damages and no amount of money or begging rich people to return will make any difference. What it will take to turn NYC around is for the voters to get educated on how the voting system works and to know that just getting stuff from politicians is not the answer....they should learn about politicians before they vote. So in actuality it is the voters that are direct contributors to the demise of that city.
Guono needs to be brought up on charges of mass murder.
