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.

They're worse than the 3rd world folks who refuse to adapt to U.S. way of life as they bring their liberal thinking with them and proceed to turn they place they relocate to into another liberal 'Utopia" which is what they've done to VA.
I live in a rural, safe, friendly area. People live here because it is a hidden gem. Excellent schools (our football teams pray on the field and students are expelled upon the first marijuana possession finding), outdoor activities, and quiet neighbors (well, except target practice).
Now home prices are rising fast. People are moving in. Lots of people. I hope they aren’t bringing hard left “values” with them.
"Turd world folks". There, I fixed it for you.
"Bringing their blue values" to red states was considered and adopted as part of the Demoncrat way to change this 2020 election. I remember this back in the "Not Our President" days of 2017.
More blue states. Texas was a major target. This has been going on for years but now become a crescendo as things blow apart and the wealthier can afford to move and infect new parts of the nation. They don't learn from experience...
