It is symbolic. It reflects the collapse of a foundational myth, the idea that cities built on legacy institutions, mass immigration, and overregulated finance can remain competitive in a post-sovereign, digitally-mobile world. Cardone is directionally right but frames it too narrowly. This isn’t just about high taxes or punishing property owners. It is about structural misalignment between incentives, values, and capital. When you reward non-contributors with state resources, punish productivity through confiscatory tax policy, and layer on sanctuary ideologies that ignore legal integrity, you create an economic entropy spiral. The wealthy don’t revolt. They simply unplug. Quietly. Permanently. The middle class can’t leave. So they’re the ones who stay behind to pay the bill. This isn’t about politics. It’s about reflexivity. When belief in the system erodes, capital flees before collapse. And once it does, the collapse accelerates. New York is no longer the capital of capital. The market has already moved. The only question now is when the lagging narrative will catch up.
