Legal cases involving significant judgments against high-profile individuals like Trump in New York, such as the half billion dollar case brought by AG James, could potentially impact the perception of the state for residents and businesses. The fears of potential asset seizures and fines have raised concerns among business experts, especially with the reported trillion-dollar loss due to Wall Street firms relocating. The case involving Alvin Bragg, with comparisons between Trump and Daniel Penny's situations, has led to discussions about prosecutorial choices, potentially affecting the attractiveness of New York for residents and businesses. While the impact on people choosing not to live in New York specifically due to Alvin Bragg's actions might be limited, critics view such legal cases as contributing to the decline in business and population in America's largest city, highlighting concerns about the state's reputation and business environment.
