"This Is Insane!" - Why You Should FLEE New York 

Id love to know the stats on what percentage of ny people are leftists, bcos this could make the stats make more sense ,idk just a thought

I’m from New York City and the numbers are closer to 100%. People don’t leave because they can’t afford the transition or can’t afford to leave their jobs.

They get what they vote for. However, wherever they move, they'll vote the same way and slowly turn their destination into another hellhole.

If you move to Texas, leave your politics up there.

Everything woke turns to ish. Modern Sodome and Gomorre.

Smart move.

Welcome to SC, I live in Fort Mill, SC just across the NC-SC Border south of Charlotte, NC. During COVID, NC did lockdowns more like Blue states & we were free like FL in SC.

dont you miss the food?

trying to minimize covid deaths?

Yes, lot of Fascists and cowards in the American people.

@@grimaffiliations3671 Yes, cramming sick, elderly patients into nursing homes so we can spread and hurt. Everyone in there is certainly trying to limit deaths. Good job, really thinking that one through.

@@grimaffiliations3671 keep drinking that sheep koolaid, loser.

@dru Absolutely, I saw a woman stopped at a red light yesterday she had a mask on and she was the only one in the car. I`m sure she was on her third booster. 💀

Thats sad because upstate is so beautiful. Which part of Missouri? (i kinda thought missouri had a lot of blm riots)

I think it’s really scary that Americans even have to think that way to live their lives! Best wishes from across the water!

You obviously didn't move there with a teen without a place to live.. You likely mean that you crashed with a relative or Airbnb'd it until you could get jobs and permanent shelter.

As you should

Same here Hunter

Same here

Well done. I was the same in living in NZ it was complete BS

Me too

I’m sure you all will destroy it soon, democrats destroy everything in their path.

Ditto neighbor! Welcome!

Are you voting Democrat still? If so you will destroy where you moved to.

@@deepwebintel I never voted what I fled from, I barely knew anyone that did. I think most NY’ers are resigned to the fact that their vote has never had much to do with who is elected and they stay for family and the general familiarity of their surroundings. I couldn’t let my kids grow up there.

The comments below are exactly the polite and welcoming people I have encountered since I came to Texas. It changes you as a person too, for one thing, I’m def a different man behind the wheel here.

I think it's wonderful you made the move. There are so many beautiful towns and small cities to raise children, why would anyone want their kids in New York. It is not the old Frank Sinatra "NEW YORK NEW YORK". 🎶Good luck and much success.

Well said. You are certainly right.

You responded like little sheep

What? The Patriot Act, in response to 9/11, was the first fear-mongering giant step towards unjustified government overreach.

you believe 911 was a righteous response to an attack from the "bad guys" (them) on the "good guys" (us)?

I guess you have a selective memory. I remember neighbor against neighbor. FBI informants and NYPD infiltrating "dissidents", Freedom Fries and fear.

Do you believe that WTC building 7 collapsed from fire though?

No 😂 … you’re deranged.

It is called ESG and it is in the works now

@@johnowens5342 nah.ESG is for businesses…what they have planned for us is MUCH WORSE.

Fascists

@@johnpruett5258 Communists. They, in many cases literally call themselves that. Stop mislabelling the enemy, you're revealing your brainwashing by them. They aren't Fascists and you can't even explain what Fascism is without a quick jaunt to Wikipedia that you still won't understand nor remember.

Its what i tell my young friend looking for a gf. Would this girl stick with your decision to not vax and the repucussions that might follow?

Nothing will happen here, heard the same for years about California, still there with the same dictatorship????

I would agree with the “never forget” mantra but when we go to congress for reparations we get “that was a LONG time ago” when Tuskegee airmen couldn’t get the GI bill AND had to shine shoes so in classic NY fashion, FOGGETABOUTIT!

Wow powerful! It reminds me of those films I watched where families were so desperate to escape Nazi oppression that they left everything behind and even paid a high price to sneak out hidden in coffins, boxes of cargo etc.

I had a boss that her grandparents moved to Ecuador a year early, all of their family died in the camps.

I've always argued that, Eddie. There's so many who just cannot afford to pick up and move and are forced to deal with the ineptness of these politicians.

Yeah because most red states have no jobs lol

There are also plenty stupid and waiting hoping if the right amount and right ones leave it might rectify. Hasn't happened yet.

Yep! I'm in that boat. I would've left NYC back in 2021 when the forced vaccine mandates started rolling out but work and family prevented me from even trying to leave.

It depends who your friends are. I don't think the millionaires in Brooklyn Heights are looking to leave. The moaning about the crime is either moral panic or the problem in the poorer hoods. This guy on the podcast says he was around in the 80s, is he forgetting, is he lying? There's no comparison.

😢, I’ve only been a few times but am so sad as an American to see such a horrid downfall of this city.

They keep voting for leftists loonies! They had a clear choice in November- and they voted for socialist candidates that blame victims for crime- and embrace the woke agenda!

Really this city sunk this fast due to the pandemic and the constant cases of police abuse that has led to a low trust in the police, but for some reason this is never brought up, add to that the out of control housing prices due to rent deregulation that allows landlords to price the average person out of the housing market but it meets resistance from conservatives who call it socialism while people become the working homeless. Saw it happened as soon as Giuliani became major.

Same for the NW. Portland was great and it’ll be at least 10-15 yrs of major pushback to ever approach that same vibe.

@@rich24h Lol yeah it's conservatives causing all the problems in New York. Are you f'n serious??? It's not a coincidence if you look at the cities falling apart in this country every single one of them is blue.

thats why congress needs to pass the end child poverty act

Happening in Canada too but then you have boomers with one or more houses and adult kids that say the younger generations are just lazy. Nah the same work doesn't get you even close to what to what it use to.

$100,000 is the new $30,000

True all around the world

Couldn't have said it myself, Maria. It's nuts, a decade ago, I dreamed of making the money I do now - yet, I don't feel anywhere near the joy I should because the dollar doesn't stretch anywhere near the same it used to.

Where are you now?

Pure bloods!

Never got the shot. Had 4-5 bouts of no taste/smell & like a cold coming on..since 11/2019. Never tested positive for COVID.

Yeah except for the ones that disproportionately died asphyxiated with tubes down their throat right lmao

@@IvanGonzalez-kf4lp Yes, the same ones who were found to be dying because of said intubation machines

@@oxydoxxo 😂 the cope omg

They live off your Taxes thats How( Section A, food stamps, subsidies housing, subsidize Healthcare costs, ( i.e; )Taxes ,Earned income Tax Credits(E.i.T.C's ) aka Extra 5 k Net income take home, Etc...

You miss the rat infested , piss smell ? Weird

You’re not missing much

I miss NY. I don't miss the nonsense.

texas will flip blue soon

Are you still voting Democrat in TX?

I don’t want my wife jogging alone anywhere. But NYC was the safest major city on the continent by far for year. Not even close. Now it’s Toronto.

​@@redcomic619 😂😂😂 Yea right ..false !! Your looking at deaths instead of Murders verses justified killings , it's wording is How they fool Most people !! Because Killing someone in the south is Justifiable if your in fear of your Life as it should Be !!!❤❤🎉🎉🎉 🙏🙏🙏DERIVED FROM THE CASTLE DOCTRIN !! now what they call Self defense,(Stand your ground) in the Common sense world in the streets Can protect yourself or family if Fear of Being Killed !!, Thanks God for the South !!

Whats with all these wives jogging out at night? Its not a good litmus test of crime, but sure is of the reactionary mind.

I’m from new Rochelle. 26 and was averaging around $100k. I work from home but it’s unbearable. Ny makes you feel stuck. No one goes past westchester. And everyhting beneath us is super expensive within the state. New York is a state for people who are dependent on welfare. It’s not for anyone who’s earning income. The way people view florida as a retirement state is basically New York but with worse weather

Oh my gosh , good luck

Then you are bad with your money. If I, and all my bad habits, can get by with $60,000 I can't imagine how badly you've mismanaged your life.

@@Dantee.15$100K in New Ro? And its "unbearable"? My god, the whining. But I guess the welfare queens in Mount Vernon ruined it for you huh? If youre so jealous, try it. Or, better yet try $60K in Brooklyn like me. Don't get me wrong, the capture by Wall Street of the zoning is criminal, but things arent the way they are because of the poor, or woke, whatever the hell that means.

​@@amsterdamcowboy9738 You're right. I mean think about it after taxes you're bringing in a solid 35-40k. Your rent is only 2500 a month, so that's 30,000. You are left with 5-10k per year before you even count food. Plenty of money to raise a family on.

Article came out today saying median rent in ny just hit 4000. I’m from new rochelle, ny right outside manhattan.

I did the same. Unfortunately a lot of the people from NYC are moving to NEPA and screwing it up big time. Crime is up in the bigger towns (tobyhanna, E Stroudsburg) and they all vote Democrat. They're like a plague of locusts, devouring everything in their path!

Just don’t vote blue here in PA please. Pennsylvania been disappointing me the last two elections

@@rollen901 never voted blue in my life

@@poconojimmysfishing my man. I have but that was in my 20s post indoctrination. When trump ran the first time is when i opened my eyes. No joke I voted for Obama in 08-12. The single biggest regret in my life. But I was indoctrinated now I dedicate my life to changing the blues views

I grew up across the country in Philadelphia, and we were just out from sunlight to sundown, without cell phones and our parents fearing for our life. Imagine a child doing that today in Philadelphia - would be hard to imagine that kid being safe.

U must be a dwarf if ur grandma is that short.

Still can in majority of cities in Asia

​@@andychia1403 still can in many areas of the US too but there's a few areas that are destroyed. New York, Chicago etc

@@jamieb3485... San Francisco, Portland, Houston...

Scary

Florida

Texas, all large cities are already run by democrats and the recent race between Abbott and Beto was close.

Yep: I’m from SWFL and the cost of living where I’m from in Cape Coral and Fort Myers is becoming insane.. Also live in Middle TN Clays neck of the woods it’s the same thing.. This migration of people to Red States is insane and unsustainable. The infrastructure is not here to handle the traffic. Period. Especially Spring Hill where I live. All these people that sold there overpriced bubble shithole in Cali, Illinois, NY or Michigan and bought an overpriced bubble 650K-1,000,000 dollar 2800-4700 sq Ft home here don’t give a shit though. Until there’s no one to wait on you, change your oil, fix your car or ac, bag your groceries, deliver your food, etc. All the servitude jobs the upper middle wanna be high class look down on yet use and don’t like to pay for or value. But again the only jobs actually providing a service. Lol funny how screwed up this country is.

I live in South Carolina near Charlotte. Greenville, SC is growing fast, but don’t come if you vote blue.

@@raevj People can do whatever they want. You and I don't get to tell anyone where they can go or how they vote.

That’s a sad thing to show that in a country as this there are so few states for people to go to where they can prosper and be around only people with the same values and who want the same quality of life.

@@bonzocleach2496 that’s the problem. If people moved to where their values are shared would make ,ore sense. But to move into an established place bringing your failed policies and way of life is denying those people the right to their pursuit of happiness that the constitution grants them. Move where you fit in not where you want to mess up! And when people are invested in a community they have every right to tell people who aren’t to keep it moving.

Noooo its because baseball doesnt last more than 6 months and its freezing up there nothing wrong with the weather and the beaches and Freedom and peace in Florida !!! Not cuz of taxes its common sense its cheaper also !! And He had a home in New york Also probably rented it out in the winter or summer either way ! Thats what rich people Do they usually have rented property's and also move to Florida or Mexico, Texas, etc...

@@chris-cy5ed Uh no it's because of taxes.... Florida has no state tax.

Facts!! That's also why a lot of elderly immigrants from other countries come here but their grandkids end up fleeing to another state. It's good for the leeches. Horrible for the workers.

@@professional.commentator 100% hit mail on head. I wound up going to college in Miami at fiu. Parents couldn’t understand why I wanted to go to Miami. Now everybody is in Miami 😂😂😂😂 Told parents “you should’ve got a house via fha loan in my college town, rent it out, let it pay for itself, then you guys could’ve sold it for double after Covid if you didn’t want it” But what do I know I eas just studying economics and finance. God forbid you tell these fauci loving medical professionals anything

Maybe when you get older you will learn better habits, or gain more life experience.

@@amsterdamcowboy9738 Seems he's already worked it out.

100%

Keep quiet, they’ll diversify you

I wouldn't put all the blame on the transplants, but I did notice a lot of transplants started moving to the city in the early to mid 2010's. And at the same time, the social justice warrior trend started around that same time as well. Maybe it was a coincidence since it was happening all across the country, but native New Yorkers would've never allowed that.

@@professional.commentator I’m going by life experience here. I take a walk or bike around the gentrified hotspots and it’s pretty clear at election time who is voting for who given their yard signs. The ironic part is that the gentrified areas and the upper income pocket towns with million dollar cottages all fight things like affordable housing development in their neighborhoods. They only want it outside of their perimeters. The old “not in my backyard.” As soon as the violent crime and burglaries start in their backyard they’ll change their tunes.

@@RoccoMax100 Oh yea I noticed that too. I need to find out where most of these transplants come from. I know some are from California but it can't be all of them.

@@professional.commentator to be fair, the first wave twenty years ago were not that bad aside from a lot of our wooded areas disappearing. And in no way would I want the far right taking over either. As for transplants to NYC, I’d have to assume a large amount of residents in boroughs like Manhattan and Brooklyn are from other parts of the country. So I’m sure native NY’rs are not thrilled when places like Bushwick are gentrified by recent transplants.

I was part of the 2003 movement that made my way up to Dutchess county and it’s nothing compared to the wave that came after COVID. I miss upstate and live in nyc now but gosh it’s gotta be awful seeing the uncultured transplants ruining the beautiful villages and towns nearby. What was once called beacon is now called little Brooklyn 😢

This is exactly what will happen. They are all going to move to Florida or Texas and keep voting blue because they are oblvious to the fact that it's democrats causing the issue.

Speak for yourself

@@StuartFerguson55 locals don’t care. No one wants to hear about New York all day thanks

@@Mr_CigarJaxGuy I was referring to you welcoming everyone to come down south. Many of us would prefer they stay where they're at. You won't have to hear about New York all the time if the New Yorkers start in New York.

@@Mr_CigarJaxGuy New Yorkers always do what they want. If we feel like moving down south , we will & don't forget who won the war

Have you seen the republican candidates that run in NYC? Idiots.

true dat. only move to FL if youll buy my house for double lol

I am in vancouver Washington don’t worry I vote red but good lord man my best buddies live in FL I heard you guys got flooded the sad part is you see austin texas it’s horrendous the californias and others have made it a hell hole

Yes we are full the quality of life is going down with every passing year.

Seriously, yankee go home.

Preach!

Get out of there bro better to be safe find a gig in FL fly down for a bit get the gig sell your pad or get off the lease and bounce.

It’s not impossible

No traffic and less crowded is nice too

Nashville is overcrowded and overrated. Texas is hit or miss.

Not only that, but once they leave they go to next place and vote for the same thing in their new location. Mind boggling.

@@Armed98 😂😂

Nah. Its rigged. The people don't have a voice.

@@ianmeisner4313 Rigged yes. They can steal a 1-2 milion votes. But you still have to have 80 million human drones actualy voting for you to be elected. I don't buy the "it's all fraud" narative. It's not, to many people are really commited to that inept political system. And you can see it, once they move away to a new state they vote for the same thing.

Yeah, it's like giving your dog a treat every time it urinates on the floor.🤔

Exactly

yup boost them taxes 😂

Elections are fraudulent.

How does it happen ? The people or fraud ?

uni-party is not the answer. Red and Blue are both against the working class.

Never heard that aying until now. But I get you heard it somewhere. Isn't it more like a prison--No armies will be liberating us?

You fixing to get PBD de-platformed!?😂

I do live here. And its not. I actually don't understand how someone who was here from the 80s to the 2000s to today can say what he is saying with a straight face. My only guess is that its a good gig these days to have an opinion on social media. I will say, will the increased exposure on the media the subway has gotten exponentially better than even the 2010s.

@@amsterdamcowboy9738 gotcha guy

Or at least the memories of what it used to be

fleeing is the answer

Wait a min hear me out it might help soo many people flee those old cities turn red think of california I am hearing all you see is trump flags people are just sick of it there may be changes from all this

Fight to be broke in such an expensive, corrupt state ? No thank you

Upstate is forgotten about and I hope it stays that way... Only so that people from NYC move south or west and not north 😂

Proud American right? Jeesh

@@mistermonsieur2924 I've been working in US NY for 25 years and it has gotten increasingly more depressing. I've seen a lot of small businesses close. Unfortunately, that seems to be the problem everywhere. I would say it's been worse in US NY, but that could just be that I'm there more than say rural Vermont. I was just out in Indianna - Decatur area for a few weeks and it pretty much looked like there was more business now than it did 17 years ago when I lived/worked out there. Not too many boarded up businesses. I would say in general the mid west has much less run down dilapidated businesses/houses/buildings than US NY. It sucks US NY is one of my most favorite places to work. The people are nice, I've met a lot of people throughout the years I consider friends, there's lots for me to do. My exposure to US NY is the corridor south of 90 from Utica to Buffalo. Just above the Finger Lakes. I never get above Brewerton. I've worked in NYC a few times. Just finished a project in Red Hook (Brooklyn). Ehh if I never see NYC again I'd be ok with that. Just not my thing. Take care.

@@Elkmonger I grew up north of there. I've been to every place you've mentioned. As you note, times are about tougher up there in terms of income, jobs, business. That's what makes the people more down to earth. The whole state outside of NYC is a beautiful place. Unfortunately, NYC and the out of touch politics it generates in Albany lords over the regular folks of upstate. On multiple occasions the governor told the masses they weren't real new yorkers if they didn't share certain progressive NYC values. They made millions of upstate residents criminals over night in 2013. They are completely out of touch with the ethos and needs of people outside of NYC. They are prostitutes for the money handled in NYC while they take upstate water and send their refuse all over the place. Every once in a while they spin up an upstate jobs PR campaign and it turns out to be a dismal shadow of their promise that gets cut short or turns to political folly. The return of Nestle, the cleanup of Onondaga lake, now the microchip plant. All of NY state could be a true powerhouse. Instead it's been relegated to a rat infested city that exists mainly on shuffling accounts and stock trades surrounded by a deindustrialized and forlorn mostly rural buffer zone. The rich farmland, abundant freshwater resources, struggling workforce, vacant commerical property, and ideally situated highway system could all be leveraged into a highly competitive and successful polity going into the future. Unfortunately, no one seems to care enough beyond enforcing their social policies while the infrastructure crumbles.

How we in Missouri feel about St. Louis.

because they fled the housing costs not the policies

@@grimaffiliations3671 did you not watch the video going over insane levels of crime caused by poor policies. High housing is due to government corruption. Try and built a small home=nope. Try to build a mansion= pay right people and no problem.

Don’t go back anytime soon. I was there a few months ago and every block smelled like trash and marijuana. We didn’t feel safe the whole time we were there.

Oh you got lucky. You visited the city during one of its peak years. After like 2012, it all started going downhill quick!

@@professional.commentator as someone who frequently went to NYC from 2009-2015, I can say that it started going downhill when Deblasio took office in 2014. There was a real noticeable change in the city after that.
