Combining a declining rental market with massive welfare spending is a recipe for fiscal disaster. Property tax revenue could drop by 20-30% in a few years if values tank. Add $10-15 billion annually for new programs, and NYC could face a $20 billion deficit in 5 years. Bankruptcy in a decade? Possible. Thoughts?

NYC's 2024 budget deficit was around $7.1 billion, largely due to migrant costs and reduced tax revenue. Its debt rating, per agencies like Moody's, sits at Aa2—stable but not stellar, reflecting high pension liabilities and economic volatility. A mayor pushing heavy spending could tank this fast.
