I know a lot of people want the UN out of the city and all i'll say on the subject is policies notwithstanding, the united nations is valuable to NYC just as a tourist standpoint. It makes the city more worldly. If you've ever walked by it on weekdays, the line is out the door to get in. Those tourists need hotel rooms, need to eat and just pour a lot of money into the local economy. Sure they dont come to NY just for the UN but that and the Empre State and Times SQ are like the 3 most recognizable tourist spots for foreigners.
