Most New Yorkers love New York, but does New York love most New Yorkers? It doesn’t seem so.
Gov. Cuomo treats them like children, and Mayor de Blasio like idiots. That’s why you could roll a bowling ball down many Midtown sidewalks these days, in broad daylight, and not hit more than an overflowing trash basket or a nodding-out junkie.
This is merely one symptom, of course. The true dysfunction resides in City Hall and Albany. But there are many more symptoms, and people are noticing.
Consider:
New York City, paralyzed by race-driven ideology and administrative incompetence, and totally outmatched by its teachers’ unions, can’t open its schools — even though charter and parochial schools seem to be doing just fine. Parents are paying attention.

Much like California’s city populations, New York City could lose half of it’s 17 million pax population, (mostly ideological socialists), fanning out across America, and still be dominated by global socialist democrats.
Of course, they are fleeing to safer states with less taxes. That is human nature.
If I didn’t know better, it seems almost a long term planned strategy, similar to the lefts near total multi-generational control of American schools to indoctrinate and pervert the minds of American youth, regardless of state or jurisdiction. Often including the most rural regions.
Still wondering why no outrage over how democrats pulled a smallpox Cherokee blanket on nursing home patients during covid19
This was genocidal... but the Republicans always liked to sit by a democrat genocide
Coincidentally , we moved to the states in 1995 ( reason for a very long story I won’t bore you with ) and we lived in West Swanzey , NH for about 3 months when I got a hernia from working in the produce dept. of the Shaws in Keene . Hospital wanted to operate at a cost of $ 20,000 and I had no insurance as I was still searching for full-time employment . So , we returned to Japan and thanks to Japan’s universal health care system ( we were able to use my wife’s parent’s insurance ) and the doctors determined that via physical therapy I would recover and I did . I was in hospital for a couple of months but it ended up costing me just $ 2,000 and while I was in hospital I was offered a teaching job at the JHS in my wife’s hometown so when I was released just before the new school year started I had work . It all worked out for the best in the end methinks . Fate ? Destiny ? Who knows . Oh - our daughter ended up a high school English teacher here in Kumamoto . She married a math teacher last December so they’ll be OK .
People in the know can buy up NYC properties cheap as the market there collapses.
It isn’t just these two.
NYS has been losing House seats for decades.
Fredo’s bro and the Kaiser are just flushing faster.
BTW, in my NYS neck of the woods, more people are dying due to drunk drivers and lead poisoning than WuFlu.
Ever notice? leftists don’t want people happy. They want them miserable. Never fails. When people are happy, leftists step in and make them miserable.
My family of 4 ( 2 who are our adult children) left for good in December 2018 for Florida. I feel like a visionary LOL! Was pleased when Potus became a Floridian last year right after we did! My husband worked in Manhattan for 30 years and we lived on Long Island. Last week I looked up the current taxes on my former house and they went up 3 k in 2019!
Conservatives especially. Cuomo stated that conservatives have no place in New York.
I’ve never seen so many NY license plates in Charleston, SC before... one of them honked his horn behind me the other day because the traffic light had been green for nearly a whole second...I gave him the finger in my rear view mirror...
Long Island ? I lived on eastern LI from 1971-1985 . My Mom still lives in South Jamesport about a minute’s walk from Peconic Bay . One of my ancestor’s - James Tuthill - settled the area ( Jamesport/South Jamesport ) in 1883 . Ma is the last Tuthill to reside there .
That is the case in my state, as well. I often feel like a stateless man.
The Spartans thought that a man, untethered from other Spartans and standing alone, was the most vulnerable and defenseless of all men.
He was dependent on the Spartan to his right to use half of his shield to cover the right part of his body that couldn’t defend himself because he was holding or using a spear with his right arm.
Without that man and his shield, a Spartan could not be part of the whole, and so a major part of their ethos, like a modern day wingman who is told never to leave his lead pilot alone in a dogfight, their prime directive as a Spartan was to always be the shield for the man on their left.
I might feel that way, if it weren’t for Free Republic and my conservative friends, who are the man to my right covering me with the left side of their shield.
Thank Goodness.
Perhaps...the downside being, you then own real estate in New York.
Nice history! Husband and I were both born in Queens, grew up in Levittown where we met when we were 11 years old and raised our kids in Lindenhurst. They are now 28 and 24 and do not miss NY either!
