WTHeck? Even the line, at the one U-Haul place, was more impressive than this.

A string of moving trucks was spotted in Manhattan’s Upper West Side on Saturday, according to Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa.
“The mass evacuation of Upper West Siders from NYC is in full effect,” he told the New York Post.
Sliwa blamed the city’s decision to house hundreds of homeless people in the neighborhood’s hotels for the exodus.
“The moment I walked out on my block, near Central Park West, there was a moving truck. I asked where you going, and they said, ‘Virginia.’ They told me, ‘Curtis, first the pandemic hit us and now the quality of life is so bad,'” he recalled.
Sliwa spoke to others moving to places such as New Hampshire and Tennessee, and one young family told him they were headed to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
“They said in the last month, there have been so many disturbed people in the streets, aggressively panhandling, defecating, urinating — they leave the hotels and have no bathrooms to use,” he explained.
Following complaints from residents, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) promised August 17 to start removing homeless people from the city’s hotels and get them back into shelter facilities.
However, he did not give a timeline as to when that process would begin, according to Breitbart News.
Safety was more a motivating factor for people leaving U.S. cities than the coronavirus pandemic, global investor Barry Sternlicht said Tuesday during an interview on CNBC’s Squawk Box.
“There’s hundreds of thousands of people looking for suburban homes, and I would say it’s not as driven by the Covid situation as it is safety and law and order, and that is now pervasive across the big cities of the United States, sadly,” he stated.

He run twice as a Republican. He brought the Republican convention to New York City and paid a lot of the costs from his own pocket.
I’d argue he’s at least as much a Republican as Romney or Jeff Flake, and both are/were Republican Senators no?
No sir, he didn't singlehandedly destroy the city. You and your fellow progressives that voted for him are the enabling accomplices that destroyed the city. Unless you have learned your lesson, you will continue to destroy every city you move to by continuing to vote progressive.
Thank you!
New Yorkers aren’t all bad and in fact most of them are not bad at all, even on the UWS. These days, it ain’t easy being anything except a Marxist in NYC. It’s so crazy now that I think even the few rational Dems who are left are scared to lift their heads and they’re the ones who are lining up the moving vans. And this is probably true in most of our major cities because the Dems have controlled them for years and this Communist virus has given them their golden opportunity to really crack down and make their authority totally clear to the peasants.
Hopefully the peasants (actually, the kulaks, which would be upper middle income New Yorkers) will have learned something from this experience. But then again, maybe not. Stay strong and stay conservative and stay kind! Maybe that will convert them.
Yes!
LOL!
Yes.
Didn't youse guys see that Joe Pesci movie, My Cousin Vinny, were he comes down to Alabama and hates it? You would, too. You would wish you never crossed the border.

Worst state in the South for erudite, sophisticated Northerners expecting some modicums of civilized society.
This guy is tv & movie reviewer and he and his wife are moving out of the state.

Careful now.
The richest company in the world's (Apple) CEO ( Tim Cook) is from rural south Alabama.
Presumably they couldn't find anyone in California to do it.
Watched the video...several times he strongly states that he and his wife WILL NOT bring California with them to a Red state.... Hallelujah, they’ve seen the light.
Liked that he called movie folks ‘pretend adults’.
Bump! Especially South Carolina. We got more than our share of nawthern liberals.
I fled NYC decades ago, disgusting...got out of there as quickly as I could, vowed never to return....
Oh, I didn’t live there, I was just passing through.
Turns out the old girl had a toothache and the substitute handler was using the hook pulling on that side of her jaw. She just stepped on him. They hung her with a railroad repair car crane and logging chain. Sad really ...
Never come to Texas it’s 85 degrees and 75% humidity feels like 95 right now. We have huge snakes that like to hide in toilets they swim up the pipes, spiders bigger than silver dollars and guns so many guns. People open carry EVERYWHERE. Be afraid of us never come here. We’re all ignorant red necks totally intolerant of yankees. Did I mention all the scary guns?
Bloomberg was ok. Except he stayed in Bermuda during a blizzard. At least he didn’t have a lib wife who stole millions.
Add MO to that list.
I was just in Shasta County, lots of Trump signs.
I grew up in NOVA. The immigration and bureaucracy along with the brainwashing of kids made it Navy Blue.
Just like Coastal CA where I live.
