“#De Blasio, Cuomo seem indifferent to 200K killed NYC hospitality jobs<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n Nearly 90 percent of city bar and restaurant owners couldn\u2019t make their rent last month, while even some big-name hotels are closing for good. New York\u2019s hospitality industry is facing dire straits \u2014 grim news<\/a> for the entire city.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just the hundreds of thousands of jobs at risk in this sector alone. If Gotham loses the amenities that make it an attractive place to work, live and visit, it will lose residents, commuters and tourists who support many other jobs.<\/p>\n

It eats away at tax revenues, too.<\/p>\n

In the new NYC Hospitality Alliance survey, 87 percent of city bars, restaurants and nightclubs said they couldn\u2019t pay their full August rent. That\u2019s up seven points from June and up four from July. More than a third reported paying no rent at all. Many are still open only because they\u2019ve been able to cut some deal with the landlord.<\/p>\n

And a State Restaurant Association survey found nearly two-thirds of members say that without relief, they\u2019ll likely have to close by year\u2019s end.<\/p>\n

On the hotel front, among the Manhattan venues to announce they\u2019re closing are the iconic Hilton Times Square and two Courtyard by Marriott facilities. More will close as the normally busy fall season proves a bust. Just 7 percent of the city\u2019s hotel rooms were occupied by traditional guests (not health-care workers or homeless) at summer\u2019s end.<\/p>\n

Between bars, restaurants and hotels, it\u2019s roughly 200,000 people out of work, many for six months now.<\/p>\n

Yet Mayor de Blasio is still dithering on allowing outdoor dining to continue after Oct. 31, even as Boston, Philly and other nearby cities have plans already set. The major issue seems to be letting them use outdoor propane or natural-gas heaters, because of greenhouse-gas fears. Really.<\/p>\n

Gov. Cuomo isn\u2019t much better: It took a lawsuit for him to finally OK indoor dining in the city, at a paltry 25 percent capacity. His flacks praise the gov\u2019s minor concessions like \u201cprotecting commercial establishments from eviction\u201d and \u201callowing bars to sell cocktails via take-out and delivery.\u201d As if any of those crumbs is enough.<\/p>\n

Oh, and his obsessive, ever-shifting list of \u201cquarantine\u201d states is another killer: No one (well, except New Jerseyans) can safely plan a trip here unless they can afford the time and money to spend the first two weeks in sequester, because by the time you travel<\/a>, Cuomo may have put your state on the list.<\/p>\n

So say good-bye to much of the city-state tax take from hotels of roughly $3.5 billion a year. Adieu to the revenue \u2014 and add-on business \u2014 generated by the once-vibrant restaurant scene.<\/p>\n

Cuomo understands that raising income taxes drives away higher-earning taxpayers. But he seems to have no clue that a gutted quality-of-life is an economic death sentence for countless thousands of working-class New Yorkers.<\/p>\n

The mayor and governor insist they\u2019re keeping New Yorkers safe, but all too many of us will wind up safely broke, bankrupt \u2014 or living and working someplace where the politicians have more vision.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
