Crime on the rise, dirty streets, degradation of public services in New York. In the midst of the presidential campaign on the theme of security, more than 160 New York business leaders and economic officials are calling on Mayor Bill de Blasio to act against the deterioration in the quality of life in the city since the beginning of the the pandemic.
The numbers speak for themselves. Two-thirds of New York’s restaurants may have to close their doors by the end of the year. The coronavirus pandemic and its handling by authorities have had a catastrophic effect on life in the Big Apple. Thousands of residents have left the city, not to mention tourists who no longer return due to travel restriction measures.
The effects on public services are also devastating denounce the 160 bosses in a letter to the mayor. The lack of public safety and cleanliness is a source of widespread concern.
A message received 5 out of 5 by Mayor Bill de Blasio. On Twitter, the elected Democrat calls for their support. Not to demand a greater tax contribution from them but to support its position vis-à-vis the federal government.
Donald Trump, at war against the cities and the democratic states, has decided to reduce the budget granted to the city which amounts to $ 7 billion per year. To restore the city’s public services and save jobs, claims Bill de Blasio, we need access to long-term loans and support from the federal government.
