    Claiming the rich will flee is such a dumbass take, just on the face of it. They’re rich. And they want to live in NYC, which (*checks notes*) ain’t exactly cheap to begin with. They can afford to live wherever the fuck they want, money is no object. So if it costs a bit more to live in NYC, what difference does it make? Allegedly the whole point of even being rich is to be able to afford the things you want.

    But if it makes folks feel better, maybe call it New York Platinum Edition™?
