Andrew Cuomo and Bill de Blasio sure seem bent on pushing you to flee New York
NY Post ^ | 20 Sep 2020 | Bob McManus

Most New Yorkers love New York, but does New York love most New Yorkers? It doesn’t seem so.

Gov. Cuomo treats them like children, and Mayor de Blasio like idiots. That’s why you could roll a bowling ball down many Midtown sidewalks these days, in broad daylight, and not hit more than an overflowing trash basket or a nodding-out junkie.

This is merely one symptom, of course. The true dysfunction resides in City Hall and Albany. But there are many more symptoms, and people are noticing.

Consider:

New York City, paralyzed by race-driven ideology and ­administrative incompetence, and totally outmatched by its teachers’ unions, can’t open its schools — even though charter and parochial schools seem to be doing just fine. Parents are paying attention.

Totalitarians have utter contempt and hatred of those they tyrannize.

It is nothing new.

Real estate prices don’t lie. Commercial and residential real estate values are down over 20% in NYC compared to peak and are dropping daily. Buyers and people willing to sign long term leases are scarce. Good news for impoverished illegal immigrants. There are landlords who will rent to them and get the government to pay the rents.

“Andrew Cuomo and Bill de Blasio sure seem bent on pushing you to flee New York,...”

And people said they couldn’t accomplish anything.

New York, Screw York

Start loading the trucks, I'm leavin' today
I want to be so far from it
New York, Screw York

These vagabonds turds, soil shoes like wet clay
Right through the very shart of it
New York, Screw York

I wanna to wake up, in a city that doesn't fleece
And take that shiny red pill
My money to keep

These Empire State Thugs
Are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it
Outside Screw York

If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere
Goodbye to you, New York, Screw York
New York, Screw York

I wanna to wake up, in a city that doesn't fleece
And find I'm keeping my dough, free of the creeps
Losing the mask, and restaurant eat

The De Blasio blues, are melting away
I'm gonna make a brand new start of it
Out of Screw York

And If I can make it there
I'm gonna make it anywhere
It's up to you, Screw York
Screw York
Screw York

Maybe you should make a recording of that, and sell it!        :-)

As Marie Antionette once said at the height of the Bread Shortage Riots in France: Let Them Eat Cake!

She soon lost her head over it, at the guillotine.

We left this year and hope to close on our house soon and aren’t looking back.

There are some things I’ll miss about Upstate; the great agriculture and food.

The apple orchards and apple picking.

The NYS Fair.

Wegmans.

Especially Wegmans.......

Great piece, thanks for posting! Saw this linked elsewhere today too. I love Bob McManus, and no disrespect to him, but I’m going to quote the final paragraph. He makes it clear he doesn’t see NYC dying, not yet, but hey, come on guys!

“New York will probably muddle through. It’s a magical place. But what if too many of the folks who help make the magic happen decide the accompanying heavy lift isn’t worth the ­effort? That could happen, you know. And then what?”
