ROGER SIMON: Mamdani and the Rise and Fall of Great Cities.

All great cities have their days in the sun–Rome, Athens and so forth–and the time for NY to go is gone. It will be hastened by many successful Jews leaving (largely to Miami or Tel Aviv) and New York will have to stew in its juices. The city will go into a rapid, and VERY DESERVED, decline. A lesson (hopefully) will be learned. Some of this is sad. I love the Metropolitan Museum and the Opera as much as most people (the theater is already a wasteland) but nothing is perfect. One can always visit.

But NYC was largely (not exclusively of course) built by Jews in almost every area of life. Jesse Jackson called it “hymie town” for a reason, obnoxious as that term was. We can, and have, built great things in other places and other times. . Socialism, meanwhile, as anyone with an IQ in the proverbial triple digits knows, has never worked and never will, The wretched Jewish pols of NY like Schumer can go stuff it in their slavish hypocrisy as they take a knee for Mamdani. They have been less than pond scum for years. Florida has better government anyway by far. Move there. Or head to Jerusalem, or anywhere in Eretz Israel. In January, every Jew reading this will thank me as New York turns into more of a hellhole than it already is. You will be doing something more revolutionary than marching against stupid progressives who won’t listen to you.. (When have they ever?). And if New York comes back to its senses because it goes broke, you can always return. But don’t hold your breath.

I can be wrong—it won’t be the first time; far from it—but I think I am right about the cataclysmic change to New York that will occur if Mamdani is elected and about the exodus of many Jews and gentiles from the city thereafter. I admit my evidence for this is extremely anecdotal. You only know who you know. But virtually everyone in the city I have talked with is either planning to leave, debating leaving or wishing they could leave but regretting that they can’t for personal reasons (family, work, etc.).

Read the whole thing.
