New York City is losing more than 270 residents each day, more than any other city in the United States, according to census data analyzed by Bloomberg. Driving these residents away from the Big Apple are high taxes, staggering costs of living, and a significant decline in quality of life

Why does New York City lose more residents than the rest of America?

THe answer is as follows.

NYC is losing people because:
1) It is expensive to buy food.
2) It is expensive to have an apartment that is anything close to a closet.
3) It is expensive to move around the city.
4) It is dirty.
5) You have no space.
6) The companies in the city don't want to pay what it costs to live in the city.
7) Companies are moving out of the city or embracing remote working thus turning office space into "hoteling" space for when a person actually needs to be in the office for a day or two.
8) If you live outside the city and commute in it is expensive and a huge pain in the ass.

The list goes on but at this point the city is turning back into what it was in the 70s. No matter how much money it soaks up from the rest of the state and country it is on track for economic failure if the city government doesn't get it's head out of it's ass.

That is just for the city... the boroughs are all turning into major shitholes as well.

No, no, no.........

They'll back-fill the vacancies with illegal aliens, if they haven't already.

No,No,No , you have it All wrong. It’s the weather. The hair brained
Gov’nah said so.

How much you wanna bet that wherever they end up, they will still vote for the same progressive policies that drove them away?

I have only been down to that shit hole a few times. Why anyone would chose to live there at all amazes me. I have met quite a many people from the city, only a very small handful have been worth my time.

The cost of housing is prohibitive.

i lived in the city for a long time. i move out but still work in the city.
I am on track to move out of the state asap, since my son graduated High school.

now i gotta find a job.

I’ve never been there and never want to go there. If they make it legal for me to carry my gun I’ll go just to piss them off.

I have been to the shitty 3 times. All three on a Goldwing. Went to a rally called "The Concrete Canyon Run" a 400 to 600 motorcycle charity run for St Jude's Children's Hospital. We had a NYPD 12 bike motor-cop escort with three police cruisers. We went all the way around Manhattan, to Ground Zero and through Times Square. And we went to the Bar that Coyote Ugly was filmed at ( or was about, and yes, the bartenders were hot)
At ground zero, the Transit Authority booted all the tour buses out for 3 hours so we could park our bikes right in front, they had 6 Transit Authority cops walking up and down the line of bikes, we ll left out gear and keys in the bikes. no one got near them, LOL The tour bus guys were PISSED.

The guy that organized the run was the "go-between" for mayor bloomberg and Homeland Security, he had some pull. Unfortunately, he passed away from cancer a few years ago.

I will never go back under any circumstances. On the second run (2004) I nearly got killed, three times by taxi. Those asshole don't give a shit about anything other than money, period. We stayed in Jersey, I can honestly say, I knew of at least 15 people carrying a CCW. There were several cops mixed in with us, not one of them gave a shit whether they were armed or not. Almost everyone was carrying a knife of some type, no one cared?

The bottom line is, that was 15 years ago. Things have changed down there, and not for the better

They just went off the grid, they're still there and living free while we pick up the tab.

Please dont call it "Ground Zero".

I know no harm meant but annoys the shit out of me for some reason. World Trade Center (site).

I've been there too many times. But I share that exact sentiment. I would definitely go there. Maybe wear a t shirt with a slogan to give the vapors to a few safe space types. Maybe post some shit online to get the anti's goat besides.

Shithole......

 

[FrankenCub]

I big percentage of that 270 are moving to Binghamton to sell their drugs. It's getting ridiculous. Even Senator Akshar has been making complaints about it.

You forgot to list that the city values illegals over citizens and that they're wasting a shit ton of money on illegals while letting the infrastructure fall apart

Actually- you left out a group tragically neglected and used by the Sandanistas in City Hall and the City Council- the chronically homeless, many of whom are seriously mentally ill and either dangers to themselves or others, or heavily preyed upon by each other / the criminal underclass that gives two shits about NYPD because the police have been thrown under the bus for so long they're either justifiably afraid to make any kind of arrest, or told explicitly not to.

I digress.

It was nice when Rudy was mayor, those many years ago before he hadn't gone completely batshit crazy.

I asked a friend what New York City is like. Ya know, the sky scrapers, the subways and some other things.
He said that he can't really explain it. That I would have to experience it for myself.
No thanks... I am not that curious about it.

I live about as far away from New York City as one can get and still be in New York State.
So it really sucks that I am ruled by the lefty NYC politicians and their lefty voters.
