More importantly tho, like I said, above and beyond the properties, the fucking land they were on is gone.
We are talking about serious old world Great Gatsby money.
As far as NYC/BK/Queens goes I think the estimates are overblown tho. The cars are write-offs, yes, but really its not like the fucking MOMA flooded.
Cars?? LOL.
Most of that loss in NYC/BK/Queens/NJ is economic impact.
$10 billion a day, estimating power won't be back on in lower Manhattan until Friday. But I forgot, everyone who lives in Lower Manhattan is "super wealthy" so who cares. We know the financial district is where the ultra rich flock to in Manhattan...right.
But hey, like you said Manhattan floods like this ALL THE TIME! No biggie. Water will recede and it will be all over with, don't know what the big deal is all about. Break out the wet dry vac, clean up the water and get back on with life.
