A Newmark market report said Manhattan\u2019s availability rate reached 21 percent in the second quarter of 2021, which set a new record for the region.<\/p>\n<p>Reports for Midtown and Midtown South showed similarly high vacancies. Meanwhile, analysts said New York\u2019s aggressive COVID-19 lockdown measures forced businesses and workers to leave the city in record numbers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe other cities have become more competitive as a result of the pandemic and the whole remote work phenomenon,\u201d said President of Business Organization Partnership for New York City, Kathryn Wylde. \u201cIt\u2019s going to require a real shift in public policy toward focusing on quality of life, a positive business climate and affordability.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>High tax rates and a drastic rise in crime have been cited for stunting New York\u2019s economic recovery following the ease of coronavirus restrictions.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">In residential neighborhoods, restaurants and bars are filling up as social life revives.<\/p>\n<p>Yet in office-centric areas such as midtown Manhattan, the streets are more quiet.<\/p>\n<p>Vacancies in the city&#8217;s commercial real estate market suggest a rebound will be slow-going. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/FKPcYvWQim\">pic.twitter.com\/FKPcYvWQim<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Bloomberg CityLab (@CityLab) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CityLab\/status\/1407403289298227201?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 22, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/l-a-county-waives-citizenship-requirement-for-several-govt-jobs\/\">L.A.
