“Until the fools in NYC wise up and vote in someone like Giuliani as mayor”
Go and read the Upper West Side and other wealthy areas of NYC Facebook pages. They complain DeBlassio and Cuomo are not liberal enough.
These people are insane.
It has happened pretty fast, too. The last time I was in NYC was 2014, not long after de Blasio took office. I spent the whole time in Manhattan and stayed mostly around the Upper East Side and Midtown, so maybe this isn’t representative, but it was clean and safe.
Just 3 years later, in 2017, my wife spent a few months there for work. She stayed in the same part of town. She says it was like night and day. Filthy and dangerous.
Neither of us have been there since, but my wife has family who, until last year split time between the Upper East Side and Florida. According to them, it has only gotten worse, and now they live in Florida full time.
It’s sad. For all of the things that have irritated me about New York and New Yorkers over the years, it really was a great place once.
