NEW YORK (AP) — New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said Sunday he hopes to have a roadmap by June 1 on how to rebuild the city after the coronavirus threat subsides.

The mayor, a Democrat, said at a news conference that city leaders he’s invited to help plan the city’s recovery should give him the roadmap by then. He said a full rebuild will take about 20 months.
He also said the latest statistics on people being treated for COVID-19 continued to be stable or decline.
The number of people in the city’s hospital intensive care units had dropped from 785 to 768. De Blasio said the city can’t begin reopening until decreases continue for 10 to 14 days. He said such a fall would signal it was time for the first steps in opening up.
“The health indicators have to give us the all clear,” de Blasio said. “We restart when we have evidence. There’s no on-off switch here. It’s a series of careful, smart moves.”
Time for a Real Esate Tax strike. RE taxes account for 30% of the Citys budget, and they get paid from the income (rents) that the buildings generate. DeBlasio keeps hammering for tenants not to pay rent. It is high time for his revenue to stop flowing . No RE Taxes this quarter.
Let him go to the gym, I’m sure he will find many road maps there, or perhaps he can ask all the homeless or illegal immigrants with licenses, that he created for some maps
The first thing he must do is raise RE Taxes ,again !!! Then raise water ,& sewer again!!!! Then raise income taxes Again !!!! ….Then have landlords extend free rent again !!!! I am on the right track ???
The $1B his wife stole could go a long way in helping small business reopen.
He wants a roadmap?? He’s the mayor – shouldn’t he be developing the roadmap?
Listen, at least he gave free face masks and hand sanitizers for our most essential citizens, the ones living in the projects for free, the ones who dont have a job and live off tax payers, they got free face masks and hand sanitizers. You ,hard working tax paying shlub: go to hell.
His road map is same as African and South America dictators give me more money to distribute yo my friends and family
Glad I left nyc before he became mayor
