Bad Apple.
New Yorkers rate the Big Apple’s quality of life — on issues such as public safety, cleanliness and mass transit — significantly worse than the pre-pandemic times and just slightly better than two years ago, a Citizens Budget Commission survey of more than 1,700 residents found.
Just over a third of residents said quality of life in the five boroughs was good or excellent — a significant drop from 2017, when about half of New Yorkers surveyed gave it the top rating.
The deep level of displeasure regarding crime and government services presents a challenge to whoever the next New York City mayor will be next year, according to the CBC’s “Straight from New Yorkers 2025” poll.

I think a lot of native NYCers feel that way.
Not us!
I can see longing for the old NYC.
I was lucky enough to live in downtown Manhattan during the golden age of the mid to late 1990s. You really could walk almost anywhere and feel safe. And you’d look around and the city was being rebuilt. The subway was safe and vibrant. Now, not so much anymore.
>>I know a lady born and raised in Brooklyn. She thinks NY five boroughs is utopia on earth
Similar to the Norks that think North Korea is doing so much better than the rest of the world that we’re all jealous of them.
They should maybe consider electing democrats to clean the place up and make it utopia on earth!
“Big Apple’s quality of life — on issues such as public safety, cleanliness and mass transit — significantly worse than the pre-pandemic ...”
Gee, I wonder why?
They got what they voted for.
Given my stress levels just driving my kid to his Med school in the Bronx, what “quality of life” is there for anyone who actually lives there? I don’t get it.
Elect Democrats and live in a sewer. It is a rule of the multiverse.
Agreed.
If I lived in that city I would have had a heart attack at the age of 30—my stress levels are off the charts there.
(I live deep in the boonies—much more relaxing.)
They earned it and ever so richly deserve it.
“Just over a third of residents said quality of life in the five boroughs was good or excellent...”
They have zero concept of the term “quality”, they are democrats.
She’s consumed the kool aid.
Leftist propaganda will do that to you.
Exactly.
Correct.
You get what you vote for.
Nobody should be talking about pre-‘pandemic”.. there was no pandemic -it was fake. It was every bit as fake as the J6 “insurrection”, or the Biden “presidency”. Anyone who refers to those fed operations as if they were real - they are brainwashed.
If you want to talk about something, talk about pre-stupid-Democrat-lockdown, or pre-deep-state-stolen-election, or pre-Fedsurrection, or pre-Crossfire-Hurricane. Because those things really happened.
Just look at every city run by a democrat. They are all sewers.
Last time I was in NY City, a year ago, it noticed a lot of deterioration, trash, homeless, menacing foreign men hanging around everywhere, filthy subways.
