During a portion of an interview aired on Tuesday’s edition of Bloomberg’s “Balance of Power,” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) stated that while “the horrific crimes that we’re seeing” keep her up at night and are “frightening” people, “New York City is still the safest big city in America. Look at Chicago, look at San Francisco, look at Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Washington. People leaving New York, I’m not sure where they’re going to go because we are the safest big city in America.”
Hochul said, “First of all, public safety is my number one priority. This is what keeps me up at night, the horrific crimes that we’re seeing. It’s frightening for people. But I also have to step back and talk about some of the targeted changes we’ve already made to the bail changes. Obviously, this was signed into law by my predecessor. The legislature went forth with the changes that they thought were important to make sure that there was public safety and justice in our court system, but we had to bring it back to make sure that judges consider other factors in deciding whether or not someone should be held on bail. They need to know whether or not there’s an order of protection, any commission of a gun violence crime. So, we gave the judges more than they had before. We also said that repeat offenders, people that are stealing off the shelves every day and selling the materials on eBay, they can’t keep getting away with that, the property crimes, in addition to the violent crimes. So, we did make changes to the bail laws.”

Gee, look at all of the cities she mentioned as they are all run by Democrats.
All the cities she mentioned were democrat hellholes.
List of United States cities by crime rate
Of course that missed all the violence in the BLM riots of 2020.
And cities have a natural incentive to underreport their crimes.
And that list at the link is sortable by column.
It looks like Hochul decided to go with the Big Lie theory: Oddly enough, many people are more willing to believe a big lie than a small one.
NY is one overnight blackout from Armageddon
Women and minorities Peter Principle is two or three steps instead of one.
Interestingly enough, all of the other cities she mentioned are democrat run.
LMAO!!! Good one, Kathy... let's hear the encore!
They’ve lost all credibility with me at this point.
“”People leaving New York, I’m not sure where they’re going to go because we are the safest big city in America.””
Of course, people leaving NYC are anxious to move to another big city, you know! Are “cities” all she’s aware of in the country?
Look at her bio - interesting - her voting record for 2 years in Congress is all over the map..guess her belief system is up for grabs!
It will look like “Escape from NY”
“So, we gave the judges more than they had before.”

NYC bail reform slammed after repeat offender makes 42nd attack

Deep State prefers them that way.
Unfortunately for NYC haters, she’s right. Among cities with the highest violent crime rate, New York City is not even in the top 50. Of course there are other considerations about quality of life besides likelihood of getting mugged.
I doubt it’s the safest big city.
But people are leaving all big cities. Anywhere governed by Democrats eventually becomes Detroit or Mogadishu.
Remember this Governor, If you had resigned before Cuomo resigned, you could be leaning back and enjoying the popcorn (in some other location)!
ROFLMAO. Safest city?
