Reply to comment by shin_datenshi in NYC shootings and murders down: Mayor Adams by Darrkman

This article says nothing about how many people are leaving and whether it's breaking any records or not. It's about only 4 people, and one of them is from Long Island. Learn to read.

I read it, and from my own anecdotal and observational experience living here, it represents a real trend(s) we may or may not be currently experiencing.

Like I said, I made no claim of this article having empirical proof. I originally said it was a spicy headline remember? maybe I should have included the /s

also I guess the record only includes 20-21, probably since we don't have full data on 22 yet. The Reddit post said something about a record, I believe referring to THIS part of the article.. "lEarM to Reed"

Some 319,020 residents fled New York state between July 2020 and July 2021, according to US Census Bureau data released last week — a 1.6% year-over-year loss that made New York the nation’s leading state for population decline.

says nothing except about 4 people, except all those other people. but last year doesn't count and the trend MUST have stabilized by now, right?

If you misremembered something, just own up to it and move on. I don't give a fuck about people leaving the state anyway. WTH does that have to do with NYC crime rates? You understand the state and the city are two different things, right?

And are you seriously trying to argue that the pandemic had nothing to do with people leaving the city? Do you even have a point? WTF are you trying to say? Can't say I expect any better from a NYpost reader.

No good response? thought so.

>I never cared to make a point if you read up. There was an article that said a bunch of people left new york and that it is chart topping numbers. Idk if it was in fact a record nor do i care, someone was just splitting hairs over that part. The important part was like 2-3 people doubted the existence of said articles, were too lazy to even Google it, and then literally scrambled to explain "no- that can't be" when i produced the articles that said basically exactly what I told them they would. Whether I believe in what's written isn't even in question here. the fact that i'm still clarifying this, and all of this is a great example of how simple communication about a simple subject can be very difficult.

Boy the real world must be awful for a lot of you guys. Idk how you all last 5 minutes in this state, or maybe that's why they're hostile and insulting by default.

i misrembered that a reddit headline and an article headline can be different. I'm sorry for such an egregious error. idrc about either of those things. I was bringing up another post sarcastically. Less people less crime, get it?

That wasn't supposed to be serious enough for you morons to jump down my throat and then move the goalpoasts after I show you the article I simply saw and was making FUN OF.

More people are leaving NY by % than any other county, duh it's mostly covid, and idc what the point is other than the article says 300k left and y'all tried to move the goalposts repeatedly. is that a "record"? who cares? no shit those factors reduce everything.

I got your source, you didn't think I'd actually come up with it, quit whining. If you don't wanna believe them research for yourself instead of being closed minded, what a concept.

I don't read this drivel regularly(ever) also, nice try.

again I never claimed to even agree with one side or another of this argument, yet here we are.

also if you look up i tried to be nice to you. Way to go, prick. Hope you have a good rest of your week.

Can't even be nice to an internet stranger, can't say I expect any better from "This is a narrative that they've invented from cherry picked stories and statistics so that they can yell about how Democratic run cities are falling apart. It doesn't reflect the reality of actually living in places like NYC at all." Of course you're one of those, lol. You live here, sure. In your own little bubble separate from reality with a million others. Why did I even bother.
