NYC moms fleeing Upper West Side amid crime and chaos...that they voted for...
“However, the people packing their bags are not coming to New York City ...”
They are already there Doree...that’s what they are fleeing.
Something most here may be missing about the NYC exodus. Wealthy people in NYC are more likely to own their condo apartments than rent. And the listing prices for NYC condos have been taking a bath.
The wealthy neighborhoods have AVERAGE condo prices in the $2-$7 million range, and they have been seeing listing prices drop by double digit percentages.
You have some wealthy people seeing serious depreciation of their asset values. They can’t be very happy now.

Is “The Lopper” at it, again?
Whoa. Talk about privation. Do they even have flush toilets in the Hamptons?
Lets hope they’ve learned their lesson and forsaken their liberal politics as well, although part of me thinks that’s a bit much to expect.
What’s interesting - the NYC council members who represent black, Latino, and Asian eighborhoods voted for the most part against reductions in the police budget. The representatives of the wealthiest neighborhoods - the upper East side and the upper West side of Manhattan voted for the reductions.
One member representing the upper East side even voted against the budget because, he said, the reductions weren’t enough.
So maybe if all these rich folks leave, NYC will be left with those who are affected most directly by the crime. Perhaps they’ll elect some politicians who run on an anti-crime platform?
Before these people flee New York City, they should take a good look in their mirrors. The officials that they elected and allowed this to happen are a mirror image of the citizens who elected them. They remind me of the kid who killed his parents and then threw himself on the mercy of the court because he was an orphan. If they go to their new location and vote the same way they did in NYC, then they will screw it up to. The same way being DEMOCRAT.
