California here we come. Not. New Yorkers fleeing the city. Recent poll. And no I don’t think they’re crazy enough to go to California. A city full of crime, undocumented, and high costs for housing, food, utilities, etc. Below are the results of a recent poll.
Fifty percent of New Yorkers say they plan to leave New York City over the next five years, according to a poll released Tuesday by the Citizens Budget Commission.
The poll, the first taken by the nonprofit since the COVID pandemic, also found:
- Only 30% rate the quality of life in NYC as excellent or good, down from 50% in 2017 and 2008; 33% rate the quality of life as poor.
- 50% rate the neighborhood they live in as excellent or good.
- Only 37% rate public safety in their neighborhood as excellent or good, down from 50% in 2017.
- New Yorkers feel only marginally safer riding the subway during the day now as they felt on the subway at night in 2017.
- Only 24% rate the quality of government services good or excellent, down from 44% in 2017.
- Still, over 50% of New Yorkers rates particular services as excellent or good, including fire protection, household garbage pickup, 311, and bus services.
- Nuff said.
