De Blasio’s performance grows worse by the day, making NYC unlivable
By Michael Goodwin
The crises pile up like dead leaves, but leadership is nowhere to be found.
Without it, the city is fast becoming unlivable. The slow exodus of recent years has quickened in recent months, with natives, long-timers and recent arrivals clogging the exits. They’re going to the suburbs, to Florida — anywhere but here.
Always before, the departed were replaced by new seekers. It is impossible to believe that swap will continue.
The problems are many, but the linchpin is Mayor Bill de Blasio, whose performance grows worse by the day. There is nothing endearing about his act, only a long list of examples of how little he cares.
And how little he does. New York has had its share of corrupt and incompetent mayors, but never has it had one who is both of those and also a lazy bum.
With restaurants wanting to know the rules for reopening, de Blasio diddled until the last minute. Their survival was at stake, but he couldn’t be bothered.
Crime is soaring — murder is up 25 percent — and de Blasio responds by vowing to cut the police budget.
The aim is not to do more with less. It is to get the cops to do less. This is a death wish.
Police are quitting in droves, and nobody should blame them. Would you risk your life to enforce the law under this mayor?
Friday produced a perfect contrast between what New York needs and what de Blasio does. The Post reported that a homeless man who calls himself Jesus turned the dry fountain at Washington Square Park into his crash pad, complete with six chairs, a box of clothes and a beach umbrella. He’s been there a week, and the city, having failed to coax him out, refuses to force him out.
Instead, the mayor went to Brooklyn for a photo op as he grabbed a brush to help paint “Black Lives Matter” on the street. He has promised to paint the same words on Fifth Avenue outside Trump Tower to antagonize the president from whom he seeks a bailout.
In ordinary times, such vacuousness would be infuriating. But these are extraordinary times and there is a real risk de Blasio is digging the city’s grave.
Worse, The Putz has another 18 months in office before he is mercifully term-limited, and the list of wannabe successors is disheartening.

What are the Getbiggers who live or have left New York city seeing? Is it getting worse? Are people leaving the city for greener pastures?

Great music and movie. Very prescient. "They Live" is another good one. John Carpenter was way ahead of his time.

DeBozo is a Commie with warped values.
He grew up in a family of Commies.
Married a lesbian.
Changed his name.
He's mental.

Autumn in New York. Why does it seem so inviting?
-
Nope. 500 sq ft apartments still cost $800K.

Great city at one time. A while ago...

Not for long.

Ignore the politics.
It's pretty simple. New york and most other major cities will be dealing with a mini exodus.
All the new 'work from home' workers that lockdown created have no reason to live in expensive cities any more as they won't need to work from company offices.

theyre moving to texas

Plus a lot of the stuff to do is shut down.
Also, you can't be out of work for very long and still have a place to live in NYC.
Not as many tourists to block the drug use on the streets either.

They will probably jump in value as loads of people will be looking to buy to take advantage of the borrowing rates.

All great points.

They'll all move to NJ.

No.
When a local government is run by incompetent socialist commies who fail to protect you, crime escalates exponentially, people will leave and never come back. These fuckers voted these radical leftists into office, now they are paying the consequences. Liberalism truly is a mental disease.

Landlords/investors in big cities tend not to think that way. They'll just look at the percentages and think fuck yeah and buy up as much as they can.
They know those leaving will eventually be replaced by immigrants who have usually experienced far worse and won't care about the lack of government protection.
Similar those leaving the big cites and buying elsewhere will push prices up in those areas.

Yup. NYC will collapse and white people will rise up and take their country back instead of being cucked out of existence ... lol. The only thing whites are good at these days is typing on their keyboards.
