The Clash ^ | 23 April 20 | K. Walker

Waves of people are trying to leave New York for the suburbs and smaller cities amid growing fears that the city may never return to its former glory or that it will take years to get there.

Among those fleeing are parents with young children who had already been eyeing moves to suburbs and were give a push when the pandemic hit, and frustrated singletons who no longer see the point in paying exorbitant rent prices for small apartments when there is no city beyond their homes for them to enjoy.

It has sparked questions of whether New York will bounce back – like it did in the 1920s after the Spanish Flu, when there was a spike in creativity and population growth – but also fears that the Big Apple, beloved for its chaotic density and busyness, may never be the same again.

“Leave you leftists politics in NY!”
Never happen. IMO they are responsible for turning some ‘Red’ states to blue.

If they want to flee NYC, restrict them to fleeing somewhere less crowded in New York State so they are not screwing up the electoral map by taking their liberal insanity with them and infecting other states with it.

Some New Yorkers have finally figured out that de Blasio and Cuomo are malicious idiots threatening their financial and medical heath?

Well it’s a start.

The problem with these people is the same as with the Left Coast people, is that they bring their political and cultural values with them.

The’ve crapped their own nest, and are looking for new ones to dirty.

In my own observations I’ve noticed a difference between the Kalifornians and New Yorkers. The CA folks are less apt to be arrogant. The New Yorkers act like they are above us all.

Please don’t come South. We talk funny. You won’t like it. It is hot and humid. We have bugs and snakes. Most of us like twangy country music. A lot.

We are also stupid, hillbilly rednecks who fire guns at defenseless animals (in season mostly), can our own food and other ucky things.

Please stay away.

Did I mention snakes?

One can only hope.

NYC has outlived its usefulness.

Dear Lord, please don't let them go and ruin other places!

As long as they stay in the state. We have a house to sell and we are leaving the state and its horrible politics behind.
