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.”

And that makes it the safest big city in America?
The power of satanic delusion is staggering.
Well, maybe compared to Chicago.
But Tampa is safer (if you can avoid the hurricanes).
So is Honolulu (if you can avoid the lava floes).
Also El Paso and San Diego (it helps if there's a nearby city across the border where you can dump the bodies).
All those green gumbies on the subway, looking like villains in Batman.
A dizzy and clueless Karen. Somebody needs to tell the bimbo that New Yawk is a STATE not a City.
Kathy, your brand of Liberalism ain’t selling any more. You and your marxist buddies will get some proof in 31 days.
Well, Ms. Hochul, if New York City is so safe, why don’t YOU go live there?
LOL!
Wow. Talk about living in a bubble.
Delusional Bish..
It’s not just the crime that’s chasing people out of new york.
It’s the high cost of living (among the highest in the nation), the lack of personal freedoms (in a ranking of all 50 states, Cato institute ranks new york number 50, the worst in the whole nation), the high taxes, the existing and ever increasing soul and freedom crushing regulations, etc.
” ‘the Safest Big City in America”
Interesting parsing. I doubt that it’s anywhere near the truth though. Maybe compared to other rat run cities it is no worse.
Babylon Bee?
Uh, that's like Stalin saying in 1939 that Soviet Russia was the best place to live because Nazi Germany was the alternative.
Well, wherever they go, I hope it is nowhere around me.
California refugees have already pretty much ruined the area.
They foul their own nests, then move and keep voting for the same kind of people and policies that ruined the places they came from.
living in a bubble.
But even if she were correct, there is a MASSIVE difference in criminals killing each other )which they do everywhere) and criminals randomly killing or attacking normal people who don’t live near criminals, nor have friends that are criminals.
Who led her to believe that?
I’ve got a bag full of rattlesnakes but I’ll give her the safest one.
Yeah, Kathy: FOR YOU AND YOUR ILK!!!!
Hochul. An unelected nobody, who is completely clueless!!!!
Um...To a rural or suburban community?
