You are Very Much Not Alone in Thinking Crime, Migrants and Cost of Living is Sinking New York; NY Quality of Life Suffering from Sky High Living Costs, Crime and Migrant Crisis: Poll

You are very much not alone in thinking crime, migrants and cost of living is sinking New York:

The grim data on New York’s slide into nonlivability keep arriving.

The latest numbers can be found in a Siena poll: Some 57% of New Yorkers think life here is getting worse.

That includes 43% of Democrats, with only 22% saying it’s getting better.

These ugly results hold across racial lines, with 60% of Latinos, 58% of whites and 50% of blacks saying it’s getting worse.

Hmm. Seems like the lefties who try to dismiss concerns about New York City and state falling apart as reactionary propaganda got this one majorly wrong.

Especially since the causes of the pessimism are equally clear.

A huge majority, 73%, say crime is a major problem (including 64% of Dems); similar majorities also agree across racial and class lines.

Some 62% say the migrant influx is a major problem.

Both issues dominate among respondents asked what should be at the top of Albany’s to-do list.

And affordable housing and cost of living are seen as major issues by 77% and 83% respectively. —>READ MORE HERE

NY quality of life suffering from sky high living costs, crime and migrant crisis: poll:

New York is in a state of decline — with a worsening quality of life tied to sky high costs of housing, rampant crime and an unrelenting migrant crisis, according to a new poll.

Fifty-seven percent of 804 registered voters who participated in the Siena College Poll released Tuesday said the quality of life in the Empire State is getting worse, while 27% said it was the same and just 14% said it was better.

“A huge majority of Republicans, a large majority of independents and a plurality of Democrats all say the quality of life in New York is getting worse,” said Siena College poster Steven Greenberg said.

“In fact, a majority of virtually every demographic group – pluralities of Democrats, liberals and New York City voters – say things are getting worse.

“Only 4% of independents, 5% of Republicans and 22% of Democrats say things in New York are getting better.”
