I feel bad for feeling this but it makes me happy. Another poster child of the Den party on display.

Good article.

I remember telling my kids a year ago that nyc was a dangerous dump when I went there in the 70s. It was a remarkable revival and now it’s being destroyed rapidly. Sad.

The sad truth is that these people fleeing almost certainly spent their adult lives supporting democrats including deBlasio and now that the fruits of their tireless efforts have ripened they will go to other places where they will work tirelessly to elect leftists. Wash, rinse, repeat...

Leftists are like a plague. They arrive, destroy, move on.

I just bought a upper west side condo. Traded an old jock strap for it. Got cash back too.

“too ... anodyne ...”

Are there actually people who say things like that? Dear Lord. How can it possibly be illegal to punch someone for saying that?

Glad I’m not there. I lived there in the 70s and it was a time you walked down the street as if you lived in Calcutta, looking over your shoulder making sure you were not about to be mugged. Going to bed at night with one ear out for someone breaking in through your window, which did happen to me and thankfully I got out into the hall and asked a neighbor (male) to save me.

Thankfully he did. I had to move and then had to move again and again and finally I left NY.

It sounds worse now though.

All due to poor city leadership.

And one more thing, newspapers flying all over the streets, blackouts with looters breaking store windows and stealing everything they could, rapes, crime soaring and yes, it was under Dem leadership.

Ok. That’s not ‘one more thing’, but I tell you, I could go on and on,

it was pretty bad.

[Beowulf9]

Oh, and homeless guys and crazy homeless guys everywhere sleeping on the streets.

The subway smelled like a toilet.

Dem leadership.

New idea now, defund the police.

What a crackpot idea THAT is.

There is no push for law and order in New York. The next mayor of the city will likely be to de Blasio’s left, not his right. He or she will argue that New York’s troubles are the fault of the plutocracy, the patriarchy, and white privilege, and whatever Upper West Siders remain behind will enthusiastically applaud. New Yorkers aren’t hypocrites; they’re masochists.

No one but New Yawkers and the MSM give a damn about the place.

[KarlInOhio]

Often you’d hear people saying, or declaiming, that their ideal vision of the city was the 1970s–1980s

Meanwhile Chicago is trying to get their 1920s feeling averaging a couple of St. Valentine's Day massacres every week.

We need to make sure no federal money goes to New York, especially New York City.

Maybe it could go there if there were strict strings attached, calling for law and order.

Those who vote for such nonsense need to feel the consequences of their actions.

How is NY City going to pay for its free loaders staying in NY City’s luxury hotels, free for them:

Ken Mahoney, the founder of the Wall Street firm Mahoney Asset Management, anticipates that the hotel endeavor will cost anywhere between $250-500 million over the next six months alone. And if FEMA chooses not to extend its contract beyond October, such an expense would simply not be sustainable for city dwellers.

American taxpayers footing NYC’s bill to house the homeless in boutique hotels:

Many fear that housing more than 13,000 homeless New Yorkers in single-room, deluxe hotels will ‘bankrupt’ the city.
