#1 Easy.

Do the Stalin thing.
1. Send all of Biden's illegals to Manhattan.
2. Confiscate the departing top earners' condos and make them into Soviet-style communal apartments
3. Stuff each condo with not fewer than 25 illegals.
4. Let Blas feed the new New Yorkers and deal with their spawn.

#3 Reminds me of what the Nazis did. "If you want to leave you have to turn over all your wealth before you can go."

#4 Related to this: spent Thanksgiving w/ kids and Son in Law related the story of his parents coming for day visit earlier with secondary goal of helping a friend move from Seattle east, only to find the closest U-Haul available was back in Spokane! A random city -pair search (Seattle /Boise and San Francisco/Boise) backed that up: westbound rentals were about 10% that of eastbounds. Not NYC, but high tax sh1tholes nonetheless.

#5 Didn't that idiot in Sacramento threaten to confiscate the wealth of Californians leaving his sh!thole state?
What happened to that neo-nazi proposal?

#6 ...but they’re still paying taxes as New York residents.

I wouldn't be so sure of that, unless the reporter got some recent stats from the NY Dept. of Revenue and Taxation. Under most state tax laws you're a legal resident if you're there for six months / 183 days. Cuomo & DeBlasio have been whining about lost revenues and begging Trump for a bailout since Day Fucking One. I'm inclined to think the number of people who've left permanently before June 30th is a lot more than just a trickle.

#7 Would not surprise me. given the NY/NYC recent adoption of Nazi Germany style edicts and Orders vs. LAW.

That they issue a decree of 50% of gross worth Moving Tax.

#8 Cuomo & DeBlasio have been whining about lost revenues and begging Trump for a bailout since Day Fucking One.

Some of that was the chance to get something for nothing, I suspect, not necessarily because they really needed it at the beginning.

Good luck reaching across state boundaries to get into someone's pocket.
