I know Downtown. My family has a long history dealing with Downtown. I walk down some streets in Downtown and it's nothing but closed gate after closed gate. We're talking two blocks from Wall St. And what about the Seaport and turning everything into condos?
The deficit wouldn't have been long lasting at all if we would have a mayor to stand up to Albany and actually have a bigger portion of the money we generate sent back here and gave initiatives for businesses to return to the city. But no, we have to fund the rest of the state. That's why we had the deficit and that's why no matter how much we raise taxes or put a congestion tax (another great anti-business plan), it'll return. We won't see much of that money, if at all.

And you couldn't be more wrong about the congestion plan and how it will affect business and commerce (RIIIIIGHT, Bloomberg, anti-commerce...suuuure) if how the plan has worked out for London and Stockholm is any indication.
(the less traffic allows deliveries to go through quicker, gets people to their places of work faster, etc etc)
And downtown is doing very well...refresh my memory, what is two blocks from Wall St...oh, right! Ground Zero, where the towers once were!
