55% of his brain cells have already vacated the premises
- *remaining brain cells. And they were already a threatened species at birth.
They act like the mayor of NYC rules with an iron fist when there’s a whole city council and even borough presidents and shit. I don’t live there and don’t know the local political structure well but I’m pretty sure mayors can’t just make decrees and have them be binding law.
Oh yeah, people historically hate things like free transportation, more affordable housing, higher wages and free childcare. Obviously there’s going to be a lot of people leaving any hellhole that gives its residents those things.
One of the stupidest possible statements.
Actual figure is 19%, idk if that's good or bad, but I doubt they're leaving cause the spectrum of socialism. I'd guess NYC generally has a pretty high turnover rate over 5 years with young adults planning on leaving for the suburbs when they get married / have kids and older people planning on leaving for Florida / the country when they retire.
