That isn’t entirely true. The people voted for the libs - but, they sure didn’t vote for the policies the mayors put through.I’ve met many wonderful people from NY, great people - yes, they can be brash - but, I found they would give you the shirt off their back if you needed it.
I don’t doubt that they’re good people. There are plenty of good people who are liberal politically. Nonetheless they repeatedly favor having government control their lives.
Or, pat you on the back with one hand, and pick your pocket with the other! It's tough to tell the difference.
