During a portion of an interview aired on Tuesday’s edition of Bloomberg’s “Balance of Power,” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) stated that while “the horrific crimes that we’re seeing” keep her up at night and are “frightening” people, “New York City is still the safest big city in America. Look at Chicago, look at San Francisco, look at Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Washington. People leaving New York, I’m not sure where they’re going to go because we are the safest big city in America.”
Hochul said, “First of all, public safety is my number one priority. This is what keeps me up at night, the horrific crimes that we’re seeing. It’s frightening for people. But I also have to step back and talk about some of the targeted changes we’ve already made to the bail changes. Obviously, this was signed into law by my predecessor. The legislature went forth with the changes that they thought were important to make sure that there was public safety and justice in our court system, but we had to bring it back to make sure that judges consider other factors in deciding whether or not someone should be held on bail. They need to know whether or not there’s an order of protection, any commission of a gun violence crime. So, we gave the judges more than they had before. We also said that repeat offenders, people that are stealing off the shelves every day and selling the materials on eBay, they can’t keep getting away with that, the property crimes, in addition to the violent crimes. So, we did make changes to the bail laws.”

she thinks that way since she has armed guards protecting her sorry ass 24/7
Peter principle
I remember taking my kids to the petting zoo. The cows came up to us. I looked into their eyes and thought: “Destined to be steak.” Hochul has that same vacuous look in her eyes.
Easy. Most of them already moved to Florida.
It's ‘the Safest Big City in America’
With super high crime and murder rates.
Billy Joel called it years ago.
Parseltongue.
NYC may be safer than other cities. That’s not saying much for those other cities she cites.
And where will people go? Probably the hell out of any city these days.
“....the Safest Big City in America....”
HochulIdiot would make a great poster child for ‘Do Not Do Drugs’.
Kabul is safer.
They go as far away as possible you dumb ass Hochel.
She’s criminally insane.
It’s amazing how the left flat-out lies all the time and think people believe them.
She needs to check into a mental hospital.
If it’s the safest, that is residual Giuliani.
But it’s clearly not as good as it should be.
Pssst...a lot of folks are LEAVING big cities, period.
I think I’ll watch the original Death Wish again tonight. Very satisfying movie.
They don’t even care how transparent their lies are anymore now that Dominion Voting Systems is in charge of all elections.
Just a check on Google shows even CNN is siting the rise in NYC crime:
“The New York Police Department tracked increases across every major crime category. The city recorded a 41% increase in overall major crime through the first months of 2022 compared to the same period last year, including a nearly 54% increase in robberies, a 56% increase in grand larceny incidents and a 22% increase in rape reports, the data shows”.
