It’s not just a few Upper West Siders who are fleeing New York: Moving companies say they’re swamped with calls from residents looking to ditch the city — even though the COVID crisis has waned.
One likely reason: The virus was but the last straw; New Yorkers are fed up with the shootings and lootings, homelessness on the streets, sub-par online schools, sky-high taxes and the sheer obliviousness of pols like Mayor Bill de Blasio and Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
On Sunday, The Post highlighted families who’ve given up on the Upper West Side — now teeming with junkies, the homeless, convicts and others — and are headed for greener pastures outside Gotham.

Wow, the COVID crisis has waned? Somebody tell de Blasio and Cuomo. Not surprising though, who would want to live there?

Quite frankly I would not want to live in NYC on a good day. And please leave your wacked out liberal views and voting habits with you cross the city limit boundry. Or better yet just relocate in NY and leave the rest of the states alone.

Well there goes the neighborhood. They’ll go live somewhere else and vote the same way that put them in this mess in the first place

We're seeing WAY too many New York license plates lately in, of all places, eastern Oklahoma. PLEASE don't come here with your Marxist voting records. There are copper heads, water moccasins, scorpions, tarantulas, wild boars, brown panthers (for Rio Lindans, that would be the actual animal), coyotes, bobcats, builders who can't get building materials, tornadoes, 80 mile an hour straight line winds, plenty of Walmartians, gravel roads that destroy sedan tires in a month, poor soil, and lots of people with missing teeth. It's Third World, worse than the BLM riots. Go somewhere else like Dallas. They're as pretentious as Los Angeles only with cowboy boots and barbecue sauce. You'll love Dallas.

Do NOT even think about coming to South Carolina! Remember, we started the Civil War for the Confederacy and we’re all still just a bunch of redneck racists down here. /s
You definitely would hate living here. Find another blue state to live in.

Dont forget what they do when they get to a free state and get ahold of a gun for the first time. It makes them even MORE obnoxious and the first thing they want to do is point it at someone. Their definition of manhood seems to involve who can be the most pushy and intimidating.

No voting rights in red states for refuges from hellhole blue states. Not until they pass a 100-question quiz on the Constitution and history of the Founding Fathers.
Maybe, that’s the diabolical plan by the left to change the voting map for all the red states.

I've seen too many New York license plates in Colorado this year. Just buy your cannabis and week, folks, then find your way back to east bound I70 and keep going. Adios, amigos. Sorry for the cold shoulder, but, we have too many illegals here as it is.

I'm sure NYC will respond by doing more of what is driving people away. That's what we do in Illinois and we have the same virus.

Yea, leaving the city only because the damage and violence is hitting close to their homes. So now they want to leave. Leave the city where THEY voted these communists into power. Now they want to move to a conservative city where morals, values and respect for authority are a standard. The only thing they will bring to their new homes are their sick liberal agenda and a vote for what they left behind. Got it....

Pennsylvania is also getting flooded with cars full of shady characters with NY and NJ plates. Get out of here, you are not welcome. Compassion and Social Justice be damned. We have lifestyles that we are proud of.
I wish prominent figures like Hannity would pack up and get out. That would send a message to the entire country that New York is not the "in" place to be. Let Cuomo and Big Bird pay for their damages out of their own pockets.

Who wants to live in a place where you can't walk down the street to the corner store for a paper, without getting mugged or assaulted by homeless beggars? Especially at night. Having to stay inside, behind locked doors, with fear of venturing outside, is no way to live. Even more so when you can't legally protect yourself with a gun!
New York is now trying to sue the NRA out of business. That will surely encourage law-abiding citizens to remain (/s)
Criminals shrug and say ''so what?''

We need a 14 year voting quarantine on anyone moving south and west from within 150 miles of NYC. Can't vote in the new location for 14 years, to save the country from this hideous infection of leftist stupidity.

#22 and others wishing to locate west (and north) - The only snakes to be found in Alaska are in the zoo or private homes. This can sometimes be a problem: https://www.adn.com/alaska-news/2017/05/08/owner-says-sam-the-missing-17-foot-snake-has-returned-home/

For #6, the feds have decreed most of Oklahoma to be sovereign tribal lands. We are safe in not allowing the white eyes onto our ancestral hunting grounds and sacred burial sites. 😊

After it became clear that the very contagious Chinese COVID virus had targeted New York City first, New York City residents with the wherewithal to do so pretty much left New York City, while some of them stayed in nearby cities and towns where they had residences, a big majority headed for Florida where New York City residents usually turn up to escape the cold winter months. Others traveled all over the USA and that’s why people are seeing so many New York license plates in far away places, and why the China COVID virus was able to rapidly spread across the USA.

Anyone who voted for deBlasio should not be allowed to leave. Build a Berlin-esque Wall and checkpoint Charlie to keep them there. If they get through the concertina wire, they should be forbidden from voting Ever again.

#6, please don't tell them to move to Dallas! Leftists have already ruined Dallas. We had to sell our house at a substantial loss 10 years ago to get away from their policies that turned our neighborhood into a homeless camp. We're in the suburbs, but they're spilling over and ruining the whole county and DFW Metroplex now. And don't even get me started on what they've done to Houston, San Antonio and (shudder!) Austin. Quit trying to "turn Texas blue." Just stay in your own garbage holes and turn blue yourselves.
As for NYC, I'm glad my two young nieces got to see it a few years ago before DeBlasio and Cuomo destroyed it. I lived nearby in the late '80s and remember having to step over all the homeless bums in the reeking Grand Central Station. A drug dealer approached me on 42nd St. shaking a pill bottle like a maraca in broad daylight and loudly asking, "Hey, dude, wanna buy some crack?!" not even caring if any cops overheard. I thought then that Dinkins was the worst mayor in history, but at least he had the excuse of inheriting a sewer and only making it worse. DeBlasio inherited a successful city that Giuliani miraculously rescued and in the space of only a few short years, turned it back into a hellhole. Dinkins taught him well. The student has surpassed the master.

One has to wonder how many of the people fleeing New York City voted for Mayor Bill de Blasio and Gov. Andrew Cuomo. If they continue to vote for "Progressive" Democrats, they will carry this political disaster to wherever they move.

In case anyone has any doubts; those two, Cuomo and De Blasio, exemplify the Michael Savage truism, “Liberalism is a mental disorder.” How else can actions such as theirs, be explained?
