NYC has had a 50% black and Hispanic population for a while now. My long-time pessimism about the city relates to the high likelihood that it will eventually elect the local equivalent of Detroit's Coleman Young, who will drive businesses and non-blacks out of New York City, with a combination of high taxes and a refusal to control crime. It looks like NYC is about to elect a white Coleman Young to office, a far leftist who will finally send the city down the tubes.

And Bloomturd isn't a leftist?

Dante’s dad will be the next mayor.

Yep. NYC is about to enter a second Dinkins era.

Look for crime to escalate, the murder rate to increase and taxes to skyrocket.

And what, pray tell, are NYC Republicans doing about this? If the front-running Dems are imploding and they’re about to nominate a hard leftie, why can’t they get even a Guiliani type out there and actually try to prove their contention that they can win as centrists?

(Fact is, in New York, they can... it’s just most of the rest of the country that doesn’t work in, but they never seem to realize that.)

Frustration with the high ridiculously high cost of living drove out of that town and state a couple of years after college,

It has long been burying itself alive in high cost. The most amazing thing about paying such a high income percentage taxes is to see that multigenerational welfare recipients are living better than most

The worst part of it is that citizens don’t get involved and just say no

So they get these villainously oral candidates

Ray Kelly should run, they’d hate him, though.

Guiliani did a lot for order and safety, they hated him

A deBlasio slogan is...”He Gets It”. Many libs across the country use this. It describes nothing.

Despite what the urban media claims, deurbanization is well underway. The cities are becoming reservations for the left side of the bell curve. The right side is moving to the suburbs for increased freedom, safety, and a better quality of life. Unions, socialism, communism are just bus stops on the way to bankruptcy.

In 2007, he said he admired Mario the Pious for his “courageous” stands on capital punishment and abortion. Yet another pro-abortion “Catholic” for Archbishop Dolan to sell Communion to.
