After Inauguration, Trump Should Vacate Trump Tower, NYC

Created by R.C. on December 11, 2016

President-Elect Trump's presence at Trump Tower is having a negative effect on the people and businesses of NYC. His presence necessitates increased security that is being paid for by the city and taxpayers. This is $1M a day diverted from funds needed for city services like police and education: http://fortune.com/2016/12/05/donald-trump-security-detail-nyc/

Furthermore, the security and barricades are hurting businesses nearby the tower. Momofuku Owner David Chang says that it is "killing restaurant foot traffic on 56th St." http://patch.com/new-york/midtown-nyc/momofuku-owner-security-trump-towe...

The presidential motorcades also pose traffic problems, and it is overall a dangerous and hard situation for the people of New York. Please move to the White House.
