Mayor Eric Adams blamed rats — along with the cost of living and COVID-19 — as big reasons why New Yorkers are fleeing the state in droves according to a recent report, he said Thursday.
Hizzoner pointed the finger at the Big Apple’s notorious rodent population after sobering new United States Census Bureau statistics revealed nearly 102,000 people had high-tailed it out of the Empire State within the last year.
“Some people who have children and families decide they want to go to a place where their children can play outdoors, larger green spaces, you want to see animals — you don’t see animals except for rats in New York,” Adams said when asked about the plunging population data.

It’s always a different reason. Never the truth. Always in denial.
But, if rats are the cause, NYC needs 100 billion more rats.

True. I’m just surprised Mayor Adams hasn’t blamed Climate Change yet. But maybe he’s saving that one for later.

Not exactly I am sure it is part of the reason. It shows just how ineffective NYC services are. Services that cost taxpayers quite a sum.
