After Rodney King, businesses moved out of disadvantaged neighbourhoods because it was too dangerous to be there. Same thing will happen here

I can totally see people moving out of SoHo and midtown Manhattan. NYC will be a ghost town in the coming years!

like

Businesses haven’t been open in NYC for months, the wealthy are leaving in droves and now violent riots? Cuomo and Deblasio are driving people out of this state in masses and all they wanna do is blame Trump and beg for a federal bailout, ask anyone that’s lived here a while, it’s been mismanaged for years and this is the nail on the coffin

Bye bye nyc, now that street gangs feel perfectly comfortable walking around my soho neighborhood and de Blasio’s police force can’t control. ADIOS

This is so much bigger than Rodney King.

Trump is such a big mouth it makes people want to protest more.

I think the point is to move past having “disadvantaged neighborhoods”!

like

This certainly isn’t the point. There will always be economically disadvantaged people, and markets will equilibrium with differential property values across neighborhoods.

Unless your goal is a never-before-seen communist utopia?

like

This isn't happening in disadvantaged neighborhoods.

Also, that's a myth. Businesses were already leaving. Why? Because there's less money being spent there.

South LA has gone 30 years without a riot. No business leaves for a once every 30 year event.

All city neighborhoods are being affected by this equally. Where will businesses go then?

Are they going to move out of the city centers that “disadvantaged” people can’t afford to live in anyway?? Or maybe to the suburbs where the well off don’t want to share space with them. Where, oh where, will the businesses go

like

It's kind of like the opposite of gentrification

Yeah, it predates gentrification. It’s called White Flight.

like

It’s not just that, there were punitive measures levelled to try and intimidate people. They’re starting those now with shutting down testing centers and suspending meal dispensing programs. That’s why organisers want locals at protests because that’s who will be living with the long term impacts.

If businesses move out they make room for businesses that are invested in the community to move in.

I'm in finance/tech FPA, looking to go back to the defense industry for a 25% increase in TC. But wanted to see if I should leverage the new salary with current company to see if they'll match.

Background: got a promotion at current company that didn't come with sufficient increase . After stating my case I was told it would be evaluated next October, which is what prompted the initial job search.

Current TC 103K [88/15], offer 125k base [+discretionary bonus].

My dad is turning 60 in January, and it popped into my head that I could get him a bottle of champagne from the year he was born (1963). But my research shows that Moët & Chandon's Dom Pérignon wasn't produced in 1963.

Can any wine or champagne enthusiasts recommend a good 1963 vintage, or was that an off year for champagnes? And if that's the case, have any other recommendable 1963 vintage wines?

Home office preference question. I am getting ready to redo the layout of my home office. One option I'm considering would have my desk facing a wall. I am wondering if anyone with this current setup has any feedback about it. I would face the wall so that I would have a better background for video conferences (am on about half the day) and also my cord situation would be cleaner.
