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.

Happy to have them in E.Tenn.

They'll vote Democrat. Being a Democrat in 2020 involves living on things more productive people have created and built, and ruining those things.

They look like mostly young liberal people. Same with most of those I've seen heading south into other states.

As conservatives, we should be proud that we fully accept immigrants, foreign and domestic, as long at they assimilate and don’t bring their sh**hole customs and politics with them.

I am behind enemy lines up here, I would hope that if the opportunity ever comes to escape, I would be welcomed somewhere by my conservative brethren.

I live in a middle sized town in the middle of the middle west. They are moving here. This will continue for a generation.

"I’m a maggot? what are you, you cousin Marrying, barn dancing, pickup truck driving, illiterate, no high school diploma, shotgun toting, beer swilling, backwards state redneck, moonshine drinking, hateful of anyone not like you, intolerant hick

Your idea of how higher culture is fooling around with barn animals.
"

Your vulgar insults to others here haven't gotten any worse. KevinB didn't send that comment to you specifically, and at least some of the others of us here didn't write anything to deserve you projecting to call us "fags" and the like.

What’s he going to do for a tax base to support the parasites who vote for him and the other DemonShits?

All they have to do is flip a few more red states blue to nationalize the Curley Effect. The unproductive parasitic governing class and their clients will leach off the entire country. Taxpayers in Wyoming will be paying pensions of NYC civil serpents. How many parasites can the host organism survive?

If you decide to move into one of the American states, try to assimilate first.

Yeah that was over 150 years ago though bro.
I would agree with the freaks/fairies part.

BTW...my family is landed in New Paltz, NY in 1667.
We fought for the North in CWI.

CWII will be different though.

It’s hard to paint the Upper West side as a conservative hideaway to this Brooklynite :)

Dp....we Southerners aren't all like that...as we know all NY-kers aren't as their depicted. It's always in good fun poking at our different cultures. Wish I had met ya' when we were there! Been to NYC several times and loved it. Breaks my heart what DeBlasio has done. You're more than welcome to come down this way! Would treat ya' to the best fried catfish....and shrimp and cheese grits you've ever had! And take you to our church! I play in the ensemble and we'll treat you to some good music! ❤
