It isn't just the coronavirus people are fleeing. It's the rising crime and lawlessness we've been seeing recently. Thank you democrats for making the city so much more criminal friendly.

How about the riots and lack of police control over them. What about the elderly getting knocked on a daily basis by neanderthal thugs. NYC is a lawless, corrupt, and infected city. Anyone with any sense whatsoever should leave it for another blue state. LOL.

Foreign investors dont want to buy condos here. They would rather buy beautiful one family houses and turn them into "two family houses" so they can jack up the rent on them by sticking 4 families in it. Heaven forbid if they make condos actually affordable for the working class people in nyc.

Yea it ain’t the virus. People all over the city know what’s coming. Just listen to the fireworks tonight. People know consequences are a thing of the past.

I really don't see any future candidates except the libtard kind, coming up in future NYC elections. Each one is more "woke", more radical than the next. No more Guilianis on the horizon, just anti-police, pro-criminal, pro-illegal, pro-taxes, pro-anarchy idiots like the present Duh-blasio and many members of the City Council. So why would hard working decent people want to stay in NYC and get taxed to death to support all the illegal parasites, criminals, etc.? And go without police protection because some idiots decided to shunt police budget money to idiotic ineffective laughable "social conciliation workers" or whatever the heck they call it? Doesn't matter what they call it, it's pure baloney and throwing money down the toilet. The exodus has already started, spurred by the miserable job Duh-blasio did with managing COVID and now with the insane law about releasing criminals with no bail, no jail, the mayor and his drug-addled daughter supporting the anti-semitic BLM, ANTIFA, and every other commie garbage---that seems to be about it for laying in place the total destruction of NYC.

They want to break up police protection into 'councils' that will be run by minority cliques - good luck on that one. This will return NYC back to the days of 'Gangs of NY.'

I agree. The city's quality of life has gone down significantly, with growing crime, lawlessness, homelessness everywhere and the quality of what were once high performing grade and middle public schools going down. Only the super rich and the very poor will remain. I'm moving away as fast as feasible to me to do so. Adios!

Coronavirus pandemic+The Mayor and his policies+dense living in this city=mass leaving.

So according to the other comment, it’s the Democrats’ fault that ppl aren’t buying real estate - not the fact that we’ve been stuck in the house for months. You’re reaching... As for the lawlessness over the past week, this affected real estate as well? What’s happening right now is just like in the crack era. It’s likely that the police are supplying young people with fireworks and guns. I’m not anti-cop and I’m not a member of a political party. Use your brains and stop using the same old excuse that it’s the Democrats who are making the city like this. Step outside of your angry box and learn from what has happened in the past.

I hear the fireworks at night now. No real law enforcement. The policemen are terrified of policing and I don't blame them. I am moving out of NYC.

How many of those condos have tax abatements that are killing those who don't?
We pay for their luxury.

The cops are supplying fireworks and guns to young people?

"Step outside of your angry box" ???
You sound like a real JackAss ! Do you have Children or Parents that live in NYC ? If you did you would not attack the poster who wrote about the great decline of New York City under the current Mayor and City Council.

You don't necessarily have to move out of NYC completely.
Rent our your property at top dollar to the "woke" morons who want to live with lawlessness, criminality and filth.
Use the money you earn to buy good insurance for the property and purchase or rent just outside of a city in a Red state.
You get the best of both worlds: high income living off of libtards while enjoying the stable, calm and productive lifestyle living in a state where people still value American traditions and social norms.
...not every place in the US is Queens and Brooklyn.

I never understood why people buy condos.
Why spend as much as a small home to live in a box, need to share an elevator, have to deal with committee boards, the nepitism & politics, rules, rules, rules "cant do this, cant do that" "cant have that" be told what TV & internet service you MUST use, cant have an antenna on the roof, cant have late night party's, cant cook on your deck, cant play music, windows only open 3 inches (if at all)
Sounds more like some kind of hell where sick people or aging communists go to die

Condo & Co-op owners buy, then PAY $1500 and up monthly maintenance fees to put up with such shit??
Why?

"I am moving out of NYC"
----------------------------
And go where, Long Island to pay $6000 school taxes in top of the $25K?
Long Island is infested with MS-13, illegals & democrats worse then Queens now
Or worse, the quiet country where you need freeze your ass off in a cold car every morning during winter to do anything.
No thanks, the ways of living in the country are deeper levels of hell.
You cant even get hot Italian bread or bagel in the morning.
People on QC been saying for years take shooting & safety lessons and GET YOUR PPREMISIS PERMIT to save your ass & family when the cops aren't around.
Its coming true !!!

Lock down is the Democrats key election year strategy to dump Trump. Democrat Governors and Mayors demanded that people get placed
under house arrest. The virus scam
and releasing squads of anarchists on the empty streets to burn loot and destroy all the deliberate tactics of Democrats. Socialized unionized government cops were fine with arresting people for going to church the beauty parlor or for a swim anything to please their Democrat paymasters. The Democrat coalition of the fringes is the majority now so things will only become more like the last three months no end in sight.

I don’t see this at all. A foreign investor doesn’t want to take care of a house. They want condos they own and not have to take care of. They can let their children use it when they come to the US to study in NYC colleges.

The ones doing this are home owners that rent out extra rooms to make additional income or put their extra rooms on air BnB.

Problem is there are more co ops than condos and condos are luxury condos. Developers are not interested in middle income condo development. As long as LIC keeps growing for workers, foreign investors, and those priced out of Manhattan as it’s expensive and rare to have access to condos so LIC is the place. Many aren’t even condos but luxury rental or leases.

Meanwhile, instead of crying 'IMPEACH TRUMP' for three staggering years by the cabal of extremely corporate obedient, DemonRat scourges and 'Monetary Locusts' of epid government fail (IMPEACHMENT is NOT a platform), here is what the DemonRats COULD HAVE (and, SHOULD HAVE) BEEN DOING TO REDEEM THEMSELVES (if ever):

• Premium, single payer healthcare (exactly like ALL kleptocratic members of Congress lorded onto themselves, funded with money from people who ACTUALLY work for a living);

• A $30/hour minimum wage that would finally keep pace with ever climbing inflation (versus, $15/hour, which is what a dinosaur like Bernie PANDERS was proposing to be the CURRENT minimum which, which was the CORRECT minimum wage for 1989—NOT 30 F**KING YEARS LATER, and it would also unburden the taxpayer for subsidizing food stamps, section 8 housing, welfare, etc.);

• Premium care for the elderly, homeless and veterans, not to mention affordable housing, revamped education, and ALL quality of life issues that BOTH of these party-machine-failed duopolies have willfully ignored over the past 50-plus years, with impunity.

So, what does the DNC (Does Not Care - about democracy) do? They simply (and, loudly) call for TRUMP'S impeachment (again, NOT a platform), whilst continually enjoying 'lunch-and-a-manicure' as a stressful day in BrainWashington, DC!

❝Democratic Party: stop scapegoating, look in the mirror, and ask yourself why you cannot landslide the worst, the most ignorant, the most corporate indentured, the cruelest Republican Party in history.❞ —Ralph Nader

❝The only difference between the Republican and Democratic parties is the velocities with which their knees hit the floor when corporations knock on their door. That's the only difference.❞ —Ralph Nader

❝We'll use the Democrat and Republican parties and keep the people busy. And, with matters that have no consequence to our business.❞ —Banker's Magazine, 1892

❝People spend so much time mocking President Donald TRUMP, or waiting for him to be impeached. And, the danger with that kind of obsession with a single person is that you don't see the system that produced him.❞ ——Arundhati Ray, Indian novelist, human rights and environmental activist

You gotta wonder how much money TRUMP has, if he is able to hire the entire Democratic Party to run his reelection campaign!

Today's America has become EVERYTHING that Hitler wanted his Germany to be: A fascist nation that holds the entire world at gunpoint. A nation where there are no free elections, the multinational corporations have merged into a few giant conglomerates cornering the market and calling the shots, and where the media are entirely controlled by the state, as the government spies on its citizens and the police terrorize them―in perpetuity.

❝It doesn’t actually make any difference whether the President is Republican or Democrat. The genius of the American ruling class is that it has been able to make the people think that they have had something to do with the electing of presidents for 200 years when they’ve had absolutely nothing to say about the candidates or the policies or the way the country is run.❞ ——Gore Vidal

❝The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the greatest liars: the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth.❞ ——H. L. Mencken - (1880-1956) American Journalist, Editor, Essayist

❝Always beware of the fact that the only thing hindering an all out revolution is your fear of losing the scraps they throw at you.❞ ——Gore Vidal

❝ALL tyrannies rule through fraud and force, but once the fraud is exposed, they must rely exclusively on force.❞ ——George Orwell

❝Propaganda works BEST when those who are being manipulated are confident they are acting on their own free will.❞ ——Joseph Goebbels

❝This planet is obviously being used as an insane asylum by other planets.❞ ——George Bernard Shaw

They’re not terrified of policing. Another case where NYPD officer was caught using a knee on someone’s neck shows NYPD are not afraid to police. Not sure if the fireworks problem was mishandled by the NYPD brass or they’re too busy going after looters. I know they arrested two lawyers for throwing a firebomb which didn’t explode into a NYPD van. St Patrick Cathedral vandals are being caught and prosecuted.

NYPD have a lot on their hand even with daily peaceful protests where idiots purposefully brag about blocking car traffic.

The irony is these protestors that are young are extremely naive. BLM website if you donate, it goes to actblue which is some sort of Democratic political PAC. Donations mainly go to Biden’s Presidential campaign. So if you’re thinking BLM will funnel your donations to perhaps minority educational programs, nope, apparently BLM don’t care.

Good point. It seems there’s this group of miserable posters. Nothing is ever good enough. Despite the useless DeBlasio, NYC has done well. Times Square was cleaned up but you had people saying it’s now too sanitized.

Real estate is doing awful like most industry due to the pandemic. It has nothing to do with the idiotic rioting and political posturing. When corporate America now getting woke as heck, George Floyd’s death has created a tipping point.

None will leave NYC. Where are they going to go in a pandemic? Florida? Hahaha.

Useless posturing and whining instead of political activism. Do any of you complainers even vote or donate or stump for candidates you do like?

The police aren’t providing people with guns and fireworks. Are you into conspiracy theories?

There was a backlash the useless Mayor was allowing people shooting fireworks all night long. Obviously these people aren’t working and there are people organizing on social media to drive to the Mayoral mansion and honk all night and blast music etc so DeBlasio gets the point that he won’t be allowed to sleep.

Lol. Awesome.
