HA! I just read this. Great piece. I’m from NYC too, and what he says is true. One of the real pleasures of city life is not having to know or care what anyone is doing, or thinking. You deal with people as you find them, then you move along. But all these attempts at coercing people to feel a certain way, or think a certain way, are going to backfire, BIG TIME.
I hope this fellow learns to love the non-city as much as I have. Feeling very grateful the Lord led me to where I am today.
The guy is a seriously slow learner—lucky thing he figured it out before it cost him his life.
Real Estate sales outside NYC are painting the same picture, the New Yorkers are fleeing and buying up homes in the Jersey ‘Burbs or even in NEPA, just to get away from Cuomo and DeBozo
It seems like a lot of big cities are doing everything they can to cause “white flight”. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, the liberals openly despise white men. It’s as if the left is pushing for segregation only the segment they want for minorities is big cities.
“A man can only tolerate a homeless guy defecating outside his window for so long”
Yeah I’m thinking once is once too many. Last time I was in the dc area in 2005 I noticed an absence of street signs. I thought that was very peculiar. Anybody else been in that area and make that observation?
So he probably sold his condo to a gay couple and now they’ll pay Muriel’s taxes and all the rest of it
Democrats , Slumlords of Cities
The big cities are destroying themselves. Will those fleeing them accept the suburban or rural life, or will they try to convert their new homes to be like the big cities they fled?
Excellent article.

TRUTH!
That's what quite a lot of us - dare I suggest a majority? - want, and the explanation for the success of the loud and violent is that their list of needs is much shorter: power. Power, most of all over people who just want to be left alone. And no, Mr. Turner, they aren't going to leave you alone. They need enemies to survive and you've been nominated. We've been nominated.
More new Trump voters, day by day...
So the obvious question is why do the voters elect these people?
She is black, a professional negro, black for a living
Black is all that counts because she has lost control of enough black voters to lose the Presidential election. That created panic to the soul and core of progressive elites. If there are in fact enough rational black voters who actually see the danger of left wing control, the democrat party is finished.
It was rumored that Trump had 34% of black voters. That spells destruction of the progressive dream. All the looting and rioting and pillaging has one aim. Restore the black voters that think they have nothing to lose by voting Republican
When we were looking for a house in the country our friends would badger us about the commute and life without neighbors. Then they started to complain about discarded needles, poop on sidewalks, car prowling and burglaries. Recently it’s become drive by shootings, gang bangers, arson and riots. The price we pay for missing out on these amenities is a twenty mile commute to town.
I used to say this about Chavez, Maduro and Venezuela, but same applies here: these people are not foreign invaders. They come from the local culture. They were chosen, perhaps sometimes with some fraud, but often by a large majority of citizens.
Every nation and people gets the kind of government it deserves.
If you are moving you saw how morons are voting, good, but if you ARE THE MORON who voted for her, it’s your sh#thole, so stay there and don’t export your voting crap to a red state...
Very good commentary on the impact of leftism on cties.
