To me, it is an example of the way economic intervention brings about unintended consequences.
Of course, all actions have some unintended consequences. But economic intervention is:
1. Forced on people who then must take the consequences,
2. On a broader scale than any private action and so with more catastrophic consequences,
3. Imposed by politicians who usually don't have to live with the consequences,
4. Frequently the only or overwhelming action on a given type, or in a given area, and so, when consequences are negative, there are few offsetting consequences of alternative and better actions.

NYC has been the victim of a socialist wannabe ideology for decades, all in the same direction, and cumulative and interaction in its effect. Now, along came the "perfect storm" to deliver on the city the unintended consequences of cumulative destructive housing policies.

An earlier and less cataclysmic consequences for the population at large has been homelessness.

"Gov. Cuomo and Mayor De Blasio have supported and furthered every possible policy described above. They and their leftist Democratic Party predecessors bear the chief responsibility for the city’s vulnerability to this tragedy."

Of course. It was easy to predict what will happen in case of an epidemic.

It is also easy to predict how the Libtard "leaders" are trying to shift blame to the president.

Tough luck guys. Nobody expects you to learn anything from it. Your brains are not set up to do that.

Thanks, Walter.
Great work. 👍
