Fleet Of Moving Trucks Seen In Manhattan’s Upper West Side: ‘Mass Evacuation In Full Effect’
Breitbart ^ | 8-30-2020 | Amy Furr

Posted on 08/30/2020 3:18:49 PM PDT by blam

A string of moving trucks was spotted in Manhattan’s Upper West Side on Saturday, according to Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa.

“The mass evacuation of Upper West Siders from NYC is in full effect,” he told the New York Post.

Sliwa blamed the city’s decision to house hundreds of homeless people in the neighborhood’s hotels for the exodus.

“The moment I walked out on my block, near Central Park West, there was a moving truck. I asked where you going, and they said, ‘Virginia.’ They told me, ‘Curtis, first the pandemic hit us and now the quality of life is so bad,'” he recalled.

Sliwa spoke to others moving to places such as New Hampshire and Tennessee, and one young family told him they were headed to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

“They said in the last month, there have been so many disturbed people in the streets, aggressively panhandling, defecating, urinating — they leave the hotels and have no bathrooms to use,” he explained.

Following complaints from residents, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) promised August 17 to start removing homeless people from the city’s hotels and get them back into shelter facilities.

However, he did not give a timeline as to when that process would begin, according to Breitbart News.

Safety was more a motivating factor for people leaving U.S. cities than the coronavirus pandemic, global investor Barry Sternlicht said Tuesday during an interview on CNBC’s Squawk Box.

“There’s hundreds of thousands of people looking for suburban homes, and I would say it’s not as driven by the Covid situation as it is safety and law and order, and that is now pervasive across the big cities of the United States, sadly,” he stated.

Elections have consequences, but Virginia? Seriously?

Great, now we’re going to have the NY maggots here.

My thought exactly but not exactly with those words :) Leftist liberals. . . coming to a neighborhood near you.

I know there’s four quarts to a gallon, but how many trucks to a fleet?

Indeed. It is a pattern that repeats everywhere. Libs are like cancer. They metastasize. Many formerly solid Blue states are now Purple because of this Liberal migration.

Red Bill is now depopulating NYC of its upper middle and low upper class taxpayers. Most of the lesser millionaires are also running. What’s he going to do for a tax base to support the parasites who vote for him and the other DemonShits?

And while many are glorifying the abandonment of Leftist run cities, I see utter cancer because most of those bailing those Leftist run cities are the very same moronic idiots that have for decades voted for the utter cancer their Leftist run sh*thole cities have become.....and they will only SPREAD their cancer to other areas, never rethinking their voting habits and its consequences!!!!!!!!

Sorry Kevin but I think VA is lost anyway. The DC infestation has just been too much. I just hope they stop there.
