If New York, or any city, is going to fully recover, cultural institutions are going to have to thrive. I’m proud that The Shed was among the first to host live performances indoors last night.

Since when did government building necessary infrastructure count as an β€œincentive?” And is providing a β€œtax break” in an area where there were no taxes collected before really a tax break? There is no parallel between Hudson Yards and Amazon.

Best parallel to election? 1980 Carter v Reagan. Unpopular incumbent and low expectations of challenger pre-debate. Reagan did well and the race went from a tie to a ten point Reagan romp, who took the Senate with him. The debate this week should have the same impact.

@roybahat I think the more likely answer is that they have made their money recently and earlier in life and people don’t generally give meaningful amounts of money away until they are 50+. The same thing happens in the tech community in New York.
