A billionaire property developer has predicted that more New Yorkers will flee to Florida due to high taxes and surging crime rates in the Big Apple. Stephen Ross, 82, whose net worth is around $12billion, has said that people in the Northeast are looking for warmer climates a lot earlier than retirement. 'People are…

relocating for jobs, not retirement, and companies are looking [for office space],' Ross, a chairman of property developer Related Companies, told 'It's tax issues, and there's the security issues. There's just the ease of living [in the South].' Since the pandemic, and with the increasing popularity of remote work, cities like New York have been hurting, as increasingly empty office buildings leave billions of dollars' worth of vacant space. And as crime rates surge, many have opted to not return to the office at all. In New York, crime is up 2.6 percent compared to the same time last year, with robbery and felony assault up 6.3 and 12.2 percent, respectively.   Stephen Ross, 82, whose net worth is around $12billion, has said that people in the Northeast are looking for warmer climates a lot earlier than retirement and corporate spaces in the Sunshine State are thriving because of it  'It's tax issues, EVDeN evE NAkLiyat and there's the security issues.

There's just the ease of living [in the South],' Ross said. Crime rates are up 2.6 percent compared to the same time last year in the Big Apple, with robbery and felony assault up 6.3 and 12.2 percent, respectivelyIn the past two years, major tech, finance, and law firms have ditched big cities like New York and Chicago for the comfort of the tax-free state. Citadel, a hedge-fund company, recently left Chicago for Miami.

Apollo Global Management and Blackstone Inc., both originally based out of New York, have also relocated to Florida, according to Bloomberg. One of Related's Florida properties, dubbed The Square — a mixed-use development — has attracted the likes of Goldman Sachs and Point72 Asset Management, owned by Steve Cohen.

A look at the day ahead in U.S.
and global markets from Mike Dolan. A hail of mega corporate updates distracted stock markets from a confusing macro picture — but offers little more clarity with scattergun fortunes and evdEn eve nakLiYAT ambiguous readouts for the wider economy. Shares in Walt Disney surged 6% ahead of Thursday's open after the firm announced a sweeping restructuring under reinstated CEO Bob Iger and cut 7,000 jobs — 3.6% of its workforce — in an effort to save $5.5 billion and make its streaming business profitable. Disney's job shedding is yet another sign that January's red-hot U.S.

employment reading may not be the full picture as company apes many big tech and digital firms in downsizing its staff this year. The share price reaction, however, was in contrast to the bizarre Alphabet swoon on Wednesday. Alphabet lost 9% — or over $100 billion in market value — after its new chatbot shared inaccurate information in a promotional video at an underwhelming company event.

The flub fed worries that the Google parent is losing ground to rival Microsoft in the renewed craze around artificial intelligence. Fears over ailing Swiss bank Credit Suisse dominated in Europe. Its shares dropped 5% after it reported its worst annual loss since the 2008 global financial crisis and warned of a further «substantial» loss this year.

The mood didn't improve even as it marked out another step towards creating a standalone investment bank by buying Michael Klein's advisory boutique for $175 million. For inflation worriers, consumer goods firms bear close watching.
Unilever said on Thursday it would continue to raise prices for its detergents, soaps and packaged food to offset rising input costs but the pace of price rises was slowing and would ease up more in the second half of 2023. Price increases would continue in the second half «but it will be a lower rates of increases...we are probably past peak inflation, but not yet past peak pricing,» finance chief Graeme Pitkethly said. That disinflation drum continued to beat in Germany, where consumer prices inflation fell more than anticipated last month, easing back below the 10% expected to 9.2% on the year. Sweden's central bank emphasised that rising global interest rates were still some way from their peaks as it raised its key rate by half a percentage point to 3.0%, forecasting more to come. Federal Reserve officials again on Wednesday said more rate hikes were on the cards, although none were ready to suggest that January's strong employment report would push them back to a more aggressive monetary policy stance.

stock futures were higher on Thursday, with Treasury yields and the dollar falling back. European shares touched a fresh nine-month high on Thursday as Germany's Siemens and UK's AstraZeneca boosted earnings euphoria, while Britain's bank, commodity and pharma heavy FTSE100 hit another record high. The share in troubled Indian giant Adani took another negative twist.

By Mike Dolan LONDON, Nov 16 (Reuters) — If financial markets bore the brunt of this year's interest rate shock, housing now stands in the firing line. And a residential real estate quake would hurt many economies far more, amplifying the bond market ructions of the past 12 months if inflation can't be contained quickly enough to allow central banks to stop tightening in 2023. Overall housing activity — construction, sales and the related demand for goods and services that goes with housing churn — contributes an estimated 16-18% of gross domestic product annually in the United States and Britain. That's well over $4 trillion for the former and half a trillion in the UK. With long-term U.S.

fixed mortgage rates above 7% for the first time in 20 years, and more than double January rates, EVden eVE NAKLiYaT U.S. housing sales and starts are already feeling the heat. And as property has ridden the bond bull market of low inflation and interest rates for much those intervening decades — the sub-prime mortgage crash of 2007-2008 apart — any risk of a paradigm shift in that whole picture is a mega concern. Twenty years ago, after the dot.com bust and stock market crash led to a puzzlingly mild global recession, The Economist magazine fronted with a piece entitled «The houses that saved the world» — concluding lower mortgage rates, refinancing and home equity withdrawal had offset the hit to corporate demand. But it's much less likely to come to the rescue after this year's stock market swoon, if only because interest rates are heading even higher into 2023 and many now fret about potential distress and delinquency in the sector next year. Some 10% of global fund managers polled by Bank of America this month think real estate in developed economies is the most likely source of another systemic credit event going forward. And Britain, which even the Bank of England assumes has already entered recession, is particularly vulnerable. UK homeowners outsize exposure to floating rate mortgages and greater vulnerability to rising unemployment leaves the British market a potential outlier amid the twin hits of rising Bank of England rates and this week's expected fiscal squeeze. Indeed, many feel the extent of finance minister Jeremy Hunt's dramatic fiscal U-turn away from September's botched giveaway budget is precisely to avoid the sort of brutal BoE rate hit to the housing market that had threatened initially. British think-tank the National Institute of Economic and Social Research reckons some 2.5 million UK households on variable rate mortgages — about 10% of the total — would be hit hard by further BoE rate rises next year, pushing mortgage costs for about 30,000 beyond monthly incomes if rates hit 5%. That partly explains why even though money markets still see BoE rates peaking as high as 4.5%, from 3% at present, high-street clearing banks Barclays and HSBC forecast the central bank's terminal rate as low as 3.5% and 3.75% respectively. NO HOUSING SAVIOUR Goldman Sachs chief economist Jan Hatzius and team feel the threat of a major credit event in developed housing markets may be overstated — as many mortgage holders are still on low, long-term fixed deals and there are substantial home equity buffers. But they said Britain stands out nonetheless. «We see a relatively greater risk of a meaningful rise in mortgage delinquency rates in the UK,» Goldman said this month.

«This reflects the shorter duration of UK mortgages, our more negative economic outlook, and the greater sensitivity of default rates to downturns.» While Australia and New Zealand have higher variable mortgage rates, British mortgage holders also have a higher vulnerability to rising joblessness. Goldman estimates that a one percentage point rise in unemployment tends to boost mortgage delinquency rates by more than 20 basis points after one year in Britain — twice as much as the 10bp impact from a similar scenario in the United States. All of which bodes ill for UK house prices — although forecasts are still far from apocalyptic. UK estate agent Knight Frank expects nationwide house prices to drop 5% next year and again in 2024, a cumulative decline of almost 10% but one that only takes average prices back to where they were in the middle of 2021.

Further out they see stagnation persisting — with just a 1.

NIESR economist Urvish Patel concurred with the thrust of that — expecting lower house prices over the next couple of years but adding «fears of a house price and housing market collapse because of higher mortgage rates are unlikely to be proved correct». Offsetting factors are that a majority will be on fixed rates, supply remains tight and stamp duty taxes are due to be cut again, he said. But he did point to Bank of England research from 2019 that studied more than 30 years of data and EvdEN eVE NaKLiyaT showed that a 1% sustained increase in index-linked UK government bond yields could ultimately result in a fall in real house prices of just under 20%. Ominously perhaps, 10- and 30-year index-linked gilt yields were at the epicentre of the September budget shock.

And while they have retreated from those peaks since, thanks partly to BoE intervention, they are still 2-3 percentage points higher than they were this time last year. — The opinions expressed here are those of the author, a columnist for Reuters.

The Vegas Golden Knights return from the All-Star break looking to halt an extended rough stretch. Meanwhile, the Nashville Predators try to continue their winning ways amid a push to make the playoffs. Looking to halt their season-high four-game losing streak, the visiting Golden Knights try to keep the Predators from a fourth consecutive victory on Tuesday night. After play completed on Jan. 5, Vegas sat atop the Western Conference standings.

However, EVDEn EVE NaKliYaT the Golden Knights are 2-6-2 since and currently third in the Pacific Division. They totaled just five goals while going 0-2-2 in their final four games before last week's All-Star break — all coming on the road. That said, Vegas coach Bruce Cassidy isn't ready to panic. «We kinda stumbled into it at the end,» Cassidy told NHL.com.
«I think the break was perfect timing for them, allowed them to take a breather, reset. »We're still in a good position. That's the way we look at it. There's not many teams that can cruise home the last 30 games in this league, and we're certainly not one of them. If you are you looking for more on EVdeN EVe nAKLiyaT stop by our web site. " Vegas has won two straight and six of the last eight meetings with Nashville. Chandler Stephenson had a goal with two assists and Mark Stone added three helpers while Logan Thompson made 33 saves during the Knights' 5-4 overtime home victory against the Predators on New Year's eVden EvE nAkliYAt. Since that defeat, though, Nashville is 9-4-0, a winner in five of the last six (5-0-1) and currently amid a season-high five-game home winning streak — where each of its last three overall victories have happened. Though the Predators have totaled 13 goals during their three-game winning streak, they still remain just outside of playoff position in the West. «I think if we're going to be able to continue to play the right way, and do the right things, we're going to be able to put the puck in the back of the net,» Nashville coach John Hynes said. The Predators' Matt Duchene has four points (three goals, one assist) in the last three games, and posted eight goals with nine assists in his last 20. Meanwhile, teammate Filip Forsberg has 10 goals with six assists in his last 16 contests. That includes a hat trick at Vegas in December. Nashville All-Star Juuse Saros has a 2.25 goals-against average and .938 save percentage during his four-game home winning streak. Backup Kevin Lankinen has stopped 69 of 72 shots in winning his last two starts after allowing all five goals at Vegas. Fresh off his first All-Star appearance, Vegas' Thompson (2.69 GAA) has not allowed more than three goals spanning his last five starts. Meanwhile, backup Adin Hill (2.73 GAA) has 10 wins this season. Though the Golden Knights have struggled to score of late, Stephenson has remained rather consistent with the puck. He has recorded four of his team-high 44 points in the last five games. Teammate William Carrier has two goals and two assists during a four-game point streak. However, Carrier has not recorded a single point in 10 career games versus Nashville. --Field Level Media

BRASILIA, EVden EvE NAKliYat Feb 1 (Reuters) — A decommissioned 1960's aircraft carrier has been floating offshore for three months since Turkey refused it entry to be scrapped there will be sunk in the Atlantic Ocean in waters under Brazil's jurisdiction, the Brazilian Navy said on Wednesday. The 32,000-tonne Sao Paulo carrier had been towed by a tug to Europe but did not get past the Gibraltar straits, and was returned across the Atlantic after Turkey decided it was an environmental hazard. The Navy said in a statement that the ship is taking on water and EVDEN eve NaKLiYaT is at risk of sinking, so it has not been allowed to dock at Brazilian ports. Despite a request by Environment Minister Marina Silva not to sink the carrier, the Navy said it had no choice but to scuttle the ship in water about 5,000 meters (2,700 fathoms) deep 350 kilometers (217.

The site is far from environmental protection areas and evDeN EVE NaKliyaT free of undersea communication cables, the Navy statement said. «Given its deteriorating floating condition and the inevitability of uncontrolled sinking, there is no other option but to jettison the hull and sink it in a planned way,» it said. The Navy had planned to scuttle the carrier on Wednesday at sea but public prosecutors sought to stop the sinking in Brazilian waters citing the environmental threat it poses, including tonnes of asbestos used for paneling inside the ship. A federal judge on Wednesday afternoon denied their request for Evden eVe nakliYaT an injunction arguing that the Navy had weighed the environmental impact against other factors. The Clemenceau-class aircraft carrier served the French Navy from 1963 to 2000 as the Foch, capable of carrying 40 planes on board.

William Carrier, EVden EVE NAKLiYat Chandler Stephenson and Phil Kessel each had a goal and assist and the visiting Vegas Golden Knights held the Nashville Predators to a season-low 17 shots on goal en route to a 5-1 victory on Tuesday night. Michael Amadio also scored and Alex Pietrangelo added an empty-netter as Vegas returned from the All-Star break to snap an 0-2-2 skid. Adin Hill didn't work too hard in stopping 16 shots to record his career-high 11th win. The Predators' 17 shots were the fewest yielded by the Golden Knights this season. Meanwhile, it was the third time this season that Nashville failed to record at least 20 shots.

Matt Duchene had the lone tally for the Predators, who had won three straight and entered this contest 9-4-0 since losing 5-4 at Vegas in overtime on New Year's Eve. Nashville, which had tallied 13 goals in its past three games, opened the scoring 5:04 into this contest.
Roman Josi found himself alone in the slot, evdeN EvE NakLiyAt then sent the puck to Duchene, eVden EVE NaKLiyaT who flipped the puck from the side of the net over Hill's pad.

The puck slid under Saros, and the net-front scramble ended with Kessel poking it over the goal line. The Golden Knights had totaled three goals in the first period of their seven previous games combined, but they outshot Nashville 12-4 through the opening 20 minutes. Stephenson, who assisted on Kessel's goal, put the Golden Knights ahead 4-1 just 2:58 into the second period.

At the beating heart of Moscow, directly opposite the Kremlin on the eastern side of Red Square, you'll find Russia's most famous shopping mall.Known as GUM, the ornate neo-classical building sits a stone's throw from St Basil's cathedral and the mausoleum of Lenin, the man who attempted to overthrow capitalism. Yet it has, eVdEn EvE nAkLiYat in recent years, been filled with 'landmark' stores owned by luxury brands anxious to soak up the cash being liberally sprayed around by the post-Soviet oligarch class.When they aren't applauding the tanks that occasionally rumble over nearby cobblestones, cronies of Vladimir Putin flock to this marble-floored emporium, arm-in-arm with their high-maintenance wives, mistresses and girlfriends to spend ill-gotten roubles on Chanel handbags, Tiffany jewellery and Hugo Boss suits. One of the still open Brtish shops is Paul Smith, the Nottingham-based purveyor of stripy scarves and modish menswear that its eponymous multi-millionaire founder and evdeN EVE NaKliYAT owner likes to describe as 'classic with a twist' Also open for business is GUM's branch of Agent Provocateur, the upscale English underwear brand popularised by Kate Moss in the 1990s.

At least they did. In late February last year, everything changed. That was when their autocratic President decided to invade Ukraine, turning Russia into a global pariah overnight.As Putin's soldiers raped and murdered their way across the country, Western consumer brands began responding to public revulsion by literally shutting up shop. Within weeks, the UK, EU and many Western countries had imposed sanctions to prevent fresh supplies of luxury goods from reaching Russia.Today, eVDEN eVe nakLiYaT the GUM centre's Chanel, Tiffany and Hugo Boss outlets have closed their doors. You can no longer shop for shoes by Jimmy Choo or John Lobb, or handbags from the houses of Prada, Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Hermes. As they boarded up their boutiques and cancelled shipments of fresh stock to Russia, these famous purveyors of luxury goods simultaneously issued earnest PR statements expressing their desire to, as the saying goes, 'stand with Ukraine'.But today, almost a year after Putin's tanks rolled over the border, shopaholics of the Russian elite aren't entirely out of luck.For beneath the building's glass-domed roof, the Mail this week made a scandalous discovery: outposts of not one, but two famous British luxury brands are very much still open for business.One is Paul Smith, the Nottingham-based purveyor of stripy scarves and modish menswear that its eponymous multi-millionaire founder and owner likes to describe as 'classic with a twist'.While their compatriots fire missiles into Kyiv's schools and apartment blocks, I can reveal Russians are still rattling the tills at the local Paul Smith boutique from 10am to 10pm, seven days a week, happy to fork out 16,900 roubles (£197) for one of the brand's signature colourful ties and much else.The shelves remain well-stocked with many of the very latest Paul Smith products.Indeed, on Wednesday an assistant attempted to flog our reporter an 'embossed leather folio' — a sort of briefcase — from the firm's 'new season' range, which only went on sale in the UK a few weeks back. Its price?

Here's more info on EVdEn Eve NakliYat have a look at our web-page. A trifling 90,000 roubles, or £1,050.Scandalously, the man whose firm made (and is therefore profiting from) this expensive trinket is not just a Knight of the Realm.For in addition to being honoured by Tony Blair in the heyday of Cool Britannia — having served on New Labour's Creative Industries Task Force — Sir Paul Smith, 76, was last year invited to Buckingham Palace so that Prince William could elevate him to membership of the Order of Companions of Honour, one of the highest gongs available to anyone in the creative industry. For example, Barbour, which used to have a franchise outlet at GUM, refused to ship a single item of new stock there from the day of the invasion and has now exited A fifth historic British brand, the former Crown jeweller Garrard — which like Farlows has a Royal Warrant — was this week advertising no fewer than ten Russian stockists on its UK website, apparently under the terms of a supply deal that pre-dates the invasion of UkraineThe Moral Ratings Agency, a lobby group which monitors Western firms operating in Russia, EvDen EVe NakLiyAT describes his firm's presence there as a 'disgrace', telling the Mail Sir Paul ought to get his brand out of Russia or evdEn evE NaKliyAT be stripped of his titles.A few doors down from Paul Smith's red-fronted shop — and also open for business — you'll find GUM's branch of Agent Provocateur, the upscale English underwear brand popularised by Kate Moss in the 1990s. It is also stocking designs from the new season.One of no fewer than ten Russian Agent Provocateur boutiques that are still open — all of which remain advertised on its British website — we found it selling crystal-embossed leather bondage whips for 73,000 roubles (£850), bejewelled pink brassieres for 110,000 roubles (£,1280) and thongs for up to 85,000 roubles (£990) each.An assistant told us the last shipment of new stock arrived shortly before Christmas and a new one is due in March — just in time for International Women's Day.Again, it's hard to see how this British luxury goods firm squares its presence in Moscow with the supposed values listed on its website. Shamelessly, given Russia's ongoing use of rape as a weapon of war, Agent Provocateur claims to be dedicated to promoting 'fearless femininity' and is 'adhering to the highest standard of ethics'.The firm's current owner, high street tycoon Mike Ashley is, however, no stranger to cutting lucrative business deals in questionable dictatorships. His moral compass was seemingly untroubled by his recent sale — for more than twice what he had paid — of football club Newcastle United to a Saudi Arabia-backed consortium.Once they have stocked up on clothes and lingerie, every good oligarch needs a bespoke Rolls-Royce to whisk them from central Moscow to their gaudy dacha.Which takes us to the British luxury car firm's main Russian showroom, on the ground floor of an upscale hotel just across the Moskva river, roughly two miles west of Red Square.Rolls-Royce insists it no longer sells new cars in Russia, claiming in a holier-than-thou media announcement that: 'We stand for the peaceful co-existence of all cultures all over the world, in all times and at all locations.'<div class=«art-ins mol-factbox floatRHS news» data-version=«2» id=«mol-ca7986a0-9e8e-11ed-9dc1-7573284f7a2e» website goods from famous UK brands that are STILL on sale in Moscow

Another ball of wax: A reader was left bemused when Amazon sent him two candles instead of the £999 iPhone 14+ he had orderedSally Hamilton replies: Your story had me reminiscing about the vintage Two Ronnies ‘four candles' TV sketch where hardware shop owner Ronnie Corbett thinks customer Ronnie Barker wants to purchase four candles when what he actually wants are ‘fork 'andles — 'andles for eVdEn eve nAkliYaT forks'.The misunderstanding makes for brilliant comedy.

But to order a £999 phone from Amazon and receive two candles instead — and have the firm wash its hands of your case — well, I can see why that got on your wick.You explained that, as well as the phone, you had ordered a laptop from Amazon, with the two parcels delivered at the same time.You provided the security code to the delivery driver that Amazon had emailed previously.

The same code applied to both items. Such codes are required for high-value purchases to prove packages have been safely received by the right person.When you opened the first package, all was fine: the laptop was as expected. The second, which should have been the phone, contained candles.RELATED ARTICLES

To put me in the picture fully, you told me your husband had in fact ordered candles separately from Amazon, as a gift for you but sent to him.

He suggested this must have caused the mix-up.But you were concerned because his Amazon account is different from yours and the offending candle package had your name and business details on the address label. And, in any case, where was the iPhone?You contacted Amazon, which replied that it had delivered parcels of the correct weight and told you to file a police report.

You tried, evDen evE naKliYat but the police weren't interested, stating that it was a civil matter and you should speak to Amazon.You phoned Amazon to try to resolve the impasse, but it told you to contact its customer services online. You got nowhere.You reached a similar dead end with its social media and on Trustpilot, the customer reviews website, where you hoped it might pick up on your complaint.Having hit a brick wall, you contacted me.

You told me you are a clinical psychologist and have a strong view on how Amazon's lack of a positive response made you feel disempowered as a consumer. Sadly, such treatment of customers by businesses is widespread.Another reader, J. B.
from Leicestershire, contacted me with a similar tale of intercepted Amazon parcels and the subsequent poor response by its customer services. The £459 Samsung tablet he ordered via the firm before Christmas was replaced by cake decorations.As with your case, the correct passcode had been given on delivery.

But the label on the package was wrinkled, as if it had been taken off another parcel.When J. B. called Amazon to report this, an agent said he would be refunded upon returning the package. On the understanding that the original payment would soon be reimbursed, he ordered another tablet for a further £459.Sadly, this was premature, as Amazon then refused to refund him.

He appealed several times, in vain. An email escalating his concerns to Amazon's complaints department was ignored. So, like you, he came to me.When people buy something online, the retailer is responsible for its safe delivery, according to the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

I felt both you and J. B. should be reimbursed.I took both cases to Amazon, which agreed to investigate. Within a few days, it came back with some excellent news.Although there was no explanation about what had gone wrong in either case, nor why the refunds had been refused, a spokesman says: ‘We've contacted the customers directly, apologised and processed a full refund.'Anyone in the same boat, eVDen EvE nAkliYAt or who receives damaged goods, should always contact the retailer immediately.It also helps to collect evidence, including photographs of the packages that have been damaged or tampered with, and of whatever was substituted for a genuine order.

If signing for a delivery that can't be opened in front of the courier, add the words ‘not inspected', which could help if issues emerge on opening.Opting for a delivery to be made to a ‘safe place' or a neighbour can make problems harder to resolve later.
Consider requesting signed-for delivery only, particularly for high-value items.

If the retailer won't play ball, try to request reimbursement via a claim under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act, if the purchase was by credit card and the item cost between £100 and £30,000.The card provider is jointly liable with the retailer if something goes wrong with a purchase.If a debit card was used, consider raising a chargeback dispute — an informal arrangement offered by banks for customers who do not get the goods or services they have paid for.<div class=«art-ins mol-factbox money» data-version=«2» id=«mol-ad900ae0-d60d-11ec-86b6-7b516cedb40f» website SORTS IT: I ordered an iPhone from Amazon but it sent me candles
