Having lived in NYC for many years, I have  observed the constant low level of corruption  along with overly restrictive  zoning laws and  union power inflate costs of everything. Expansions to rail  service over the past  decade have cost taxpayers $18 billion, with costs  ballooned by out-of-control unions and no  fiscal oversight by anyone. Cost of residential construction is astronomical. The city caused major problems by jacking up commercial real estate  taxes so much that businesses fled city.We have a bloated city workforce with generous benefit packages.The real question is not why Black families are leaving; instead it's why more families of all races aren't leaving.
