People are bashing the politics, taxes and today's atmosphere which have degraded over the years and they have a right to their opinion. The whole state of NY like California has lost the magic for most due to liberal policies throughout the years. If you aren't affected by the high taxes, crime and homelessness than that's great but it does affect and concern others and they have a right to speak about it.
Thank you. For me, I’m voicing my concerns because I love NYC and I’m troubled by what it’s becoming. The whole mantra of, well if you don’t like it you can just move, sounds very similar to the redneck patriot stereotype of, “If you don’t like Amurica then you can git out!”
Most people are all talk. I left. And as soon as the kids grow up, we're going further.
NYC is so bad now, even NJ is noticeably better. When that is the case, you know it is bad.
The irony of this is that when your kids grow up, its entirely likely that they--and many of their peers-- will want to ditch the burbs and move to New York City. The young still love this city and probably always will.

Going on a NYC forum isn't voicing your concerns. It's B*tching and Moaning. You want to voice your concern, good then go ahead and do it in a way that may make change actually happen.

That's not irony. Irony is the most misused word in the English language.
Besides, the point is they would be adults. They can make their own choice where to live when they are adults, and I'll go where I have always wanted to.
NYC is the most resilient city in the US, if not the world. Never bet against New York, as the old saying goes.
Folks get fed up and leave and trickle out, but many, many more move in.
NYC life is unmatched anywhere else in the US, and folks move here to experience that way of life. If you get fed up with it, then you move away.
But the idea that NYC is "dying" because a small handful of folks move out, is not reality. The city is thriving, growing and becoming as dynamic as ever these days.
It's cool to see the city come back alive, with new energy and optimism.
Lol. Yea, right. Have ya seen the # of people getting infected with Omicron? This is the "new" NYC. Get used to it.
Ya'll are so miserable in NYC but then spend your spare time on a NYC forum.
I love NYC and always will. Do I hate some of the things that have happened in the last 8 years? Of course. But I believe you should always find the positive. If you can't find any then it's time to change your life so you can. Seriously you're so miserable here then leave. It's really not that hard to pack up and move somewhere.
Not surprisingly, you don't own property. If ya did, ya'd know it ain't that easy. Keep renting.

Rednecks be right sometimes. People whining about freedoms...well, exercise freedom and move. That's the beauty of America. There are 49 other states to relocate to. And if you love NYC so much but hate the politics and the mandates, run for office and do better. I am certainly one who would prefer better political choices.
