BlackRock CEO Larry Fink warns NYC to fix crime, filth and schools — or lose even more companies
Story by Ariel Zilber • 20h

Larry Fink, the CEO of BlackRock Inc., warned policymakers in New York City on Monday that crime, cleanliness and a shortage of quality schools have significantly undermined the city’s attractiveness to businesses.

“The city is on the verge of losing a lot of companies,” the 72-year-old Fink said during a candid conversation hosted by the Economic Club of New York on Monday.

“I don’t believe the city has the vitality that it did before.”
 
Fink, who first arrived in New York during the rough-and-tumble 1970s when it was plagued by an economic crisis and widespread urban decay, expressed deep frustration, saying: “I believed that my taxes were used to help build out the city. I don’t feel that way anymore.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

New York -- led by the leftists of New York City -- is in a race to the bottom with California (with Colorado and Massachusetts close behind).

Just when you wonder, "how could they do anything worse...?"

Hard to believe now that only 25 years ago, New York City was in the midst of the "Rudy Renaissance"...
