Predicting bankruptcy for NYC under a new mayor’s socialist policies is a crystal ball game, but let’s be real—reckless spending and anti-business moves could spiral fast. With a $100B+ budget, mismanagement might tank reserves in 5-10 years. Look at past cities like Detroit; ideology can cripple quicker than you’d think. Thoughts?

Let's be more specific. What would be the effects in 5 years of harsh citywide rent control?

Harsh citywide rent control in NYC could tank the housing market in 5 years. Landlords, squeezed by capped rents, might abandon maintenance or sell off properties, leading to decay and shortages. New construction would halt—why build if you can’t profit? Look at San Francisco’s mess. Rents might be low, but good luck finding a place. Thoughts?

How would this decline in the rental property market affect city income and budget? Please be specific.
