OF COURSE they will! I mean, DUH! Only someone who has never lived off their own business doesn’t understand this obvious truth.
We’ve seen this happen over and over and over again. We are seeing it again right now with San Francisco. It’s not like there are no data to tell us exactly what will happen.
It’s like touching a live wire, and then touching it again after a few seconds to see if it still shocks you. How about this time? <shock>. Ow! That hurt! How about THIS time? <shock> Ow! That hurt! How about THIS time? <shock> Ow! That hurt! Again I say, DUH!
We need to be historical empiricists, here. The problem is that there are too many hidebound Lefty loonies who are determined to believe in fairies and unicorns and a Karl Marx Santa Claus. It’s like my son when he was a young child who said to me, “What if motorcycles were only a nickel?”
You Lefties think you can spin gold out of straw. But guess what, Rumpelstiltskin, you can’t.
Still, it happens every time. If a hard-core Lefty is elected, businesses will flee. And for good reason. It follows like day follows night. Every. Single. Time.
Look, New Yorkers, you don’t want New York City to turn into San Francisco. Please, be wiser than that!
