"The issue is affordability. Do you know how many working families are chased out of New York City every day because they can’t afford housing, they can’t afford groceries, they can’t afford child care?" she said. "What Zohran is saying is, 'I want people to be able to afford to live in New York City.' That’s what keeps it a vibrant city. That’s what makes people want to live here.'"

“Nobody disagrees with that, Senator, but raising taxes in order to do it? Why is that the answer?” Faber replied back.

"You know they've threatened to do that over and over. You want to have a workable city? You want to have a city that's vibrant? You want to have a city where the streets are full, where there are things for sale 24 hours a day, then you need people who can live here or work here. Not people who have to take an hour and a half in."

People in the replies are loving her explanation and in agreement that billionaires will, in fact, not leave NYC.

"New York City is the cultural and financial capital of the country they are not going anywhere listen to yourself… talking about fucking Austin lmaooo," one person said.
