I have no real knowledge of the subdistricts of NYC, I just know that it is a net loss as a whole (Edited to add: Lum hadn’t stated in above post that NYC bureaus were counties when I wrote this, it was edited in, so don’t think I’m ignoring it). I would not be surprised if one could slice out a profitable part of any county or cetera. Heck, as an extreme, draw a circle around the one richest guy and (maybe...) you’ve got a subset that’s profitable. But any surplus in one city subdistrict is outweighed by the costs in the others, as of I think 2010 so might have changed.
I’ll see if I can dig up the study; it was sent to me by the governor’s office but not created by them so it might take a bit to remember for what to search. I know Saratoga county was (and had been but we’re starting to rely more heavily on my memory than I’m comfortable doing) the only county that generated more tax dollars than it consumed.
Huh, thanks for that, I didn’t know. In that case, no, it turns out it draws more tax dollars than it generates. I know the study was county by county.
I’ve only been to NYC a half dozen or so times, and just thought of it as NYC. I know there are bureaus, but I really don’t know Manhattan from Long Island or Haarlem from Poughkeepsie (okay, ignorance exaggerated for comedic hyperbole; I know the last isn’t TECHNICALLY NYC but for most of my intents and purposes I treat it thus), though from context I assume Manhattan includes Wall Street. Depending how much else it includes, my confidence in the study drops.
I wanted to get ahold of it for you, and now I want to get it for me too :) Google fu failed but I asked Gov’s office if they remember so I’ll let you know when they get back to me.

The five boroughs of NYC are all bona fide New York state counties. Manhattan is its own county named “New York county” :-/
