The new congestion taxes in NYC will be destroying it.
Gone will be China Town, that relies on vehicles to survive.
A new tax on nothing...equals nothing.
Sad really.
Sweeping a broom thru the city's admin now...is the city's only chance of survival.
Rudy did a good job, regardless of his reputation now or affiliation with Trump.
My favorite Acting teacher is from New York, she attended NYU, and she lived in the Village, and she studied with Meisner and Uta Hagen, etc, and she attended the AADA in New York, and then she taught at the AADA in New York and in California. She loves New York, and she is old now and she just took one last trip to say Good Bye to New York. Life keeps us all humble. She said that the neighborhoods in New York have lost their charm.
My friends from New York all said that times are hard in New York right now, and they said that the whole government there needs to be replaced.
Empire West is full of people from New York who moved to California, the New Yorkers love California, they even love Lancaster, and especially Palm Springs, and Hollywood. A lot of the people in the Entertainment Industry start out in New York on Off Broadway, then Broadway, then they come to Hollywood. Plus we have USC film school, and Chapman film school, etc. Lots of New Yorkers come to California.
When I worked as a Cook at the Colt Casino in Battle Mountain, Nevada, one of our waitresses was the Daughter of the Vice President of the Bank of New York, which was founded by Alexander Hamilton, and which was the first company listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
New York has great schools, and great institutions such as the NYSE, etc. And Broadway, and the Metropolitan Opera, and Ballet, etc. And the United Nations, etc.
We have more Italians in New York than they have in Rome, Italy. Italians built New York. And the Italians can help to save New York. And the Pope can help, and Giorgia Meloni, etc.
Zelenskyy needs to come meet with the community at the Russian Tea Room in New York City, etc, the Russians in New York can help in Ukraine and in Russia.
And I took a Creative Writing class in community college with a gentleman who owns Crazy Otto's restaurant in Manhattan, and he also owns restaurants in Lancaster, California, etc.
New York is great, with great schools, and with great institutions, New York will be fine.
Some idiots tried to start a war between the east coast and west coast rappers, and they were killing each other, the idiots, some people want to divide everyone up and then fight the people against each other. It is easy to start a war, it is harder to create peace. We need for good men like Father Boyle of Homeboy Industries in Los Angeles to help the young people. Father Boyle can help teach New York too, and New Orleans, etc. Father Boyle is a great man of peace.
We need to build schools and libraries and we need to clean up our cities and we need to paint our cities bright cheerful colors, etc. ( The apartment complex where I live in Anaheim is painted bright Blue, it is a nice cheerful color, even though I am color blind I can still appreciate the cheerful color. )
And maybe they can build new subways for China Town, etc, or some kind of trolley or something. I have never been there, I would have to go look at it, but they love subways in New York.
We have new high speed trains being built in California, including one that will connect Las Vegas with Southern California, and more trains will be built.
Salute,
Tony V.
