You are kidding

NYC a half a lifetime ago is no NYC today. Even the seventies is nothing like now.

City in Florida? The only coastal state that has support for policing and safety from the Governor on down????

Lets see, Worcester, Springfield, Hartford, New Haven, Chicago, Oakland, Portlands, both Organ and Maine, St Louis, Nashville, Atlanta. Ones I have been in or have had friends and families experience in the last couple of years.

NYC has been radical left from decades ago. That's why I left. Those other cities/states you mentioned, are nothing compared to what NYC was and is.

BTW, I live in Tampa, just in case you were wondering. The mayors of Tampa and St Petersburgh are both democrats, but they're not ultra-leftwingers like in the blue states and blue cities. Most voters in the state are now republicans and the governor is republican and both state houses are republican controlled. So, no mayor in Florida is going to become as radical as the the blue cities in blue states. We still favor our freedoms in this red state. The blue cities you mention are not going to do anything that is even close to rebellion, or they lose everything. They love their left-wing rule, but they love being part of the best country more, which is still a constitutional republic.

It's the overarching rule of law that the U.S. offers, is what keeps the country together, and no blue city or blue state is going to jeopardize losing that.
