Agreed. Bigger house. Higher property taxes. No NYC taxes. I'm OK with that

More and more sane people will leave NY and take their taxes with them. I’m hoping to make my move next year.
I didn’t watch full video myself but if u flip through it you can clearly see they passed several police cars without any repercussions. Also the video focuses on the “stunts” not the stuff they do like damaging cars on purpose or running into ppl. We were all kids once and did stupid stuff but if there is no authority to keep u in check then you will just continue to go further to see the limits of what u can get away with.

If you have kids starting public school- you can’t stay in NYC unfortunately nowadays.

I moved out last year just in time thankfully.

I see them riding their stupid bikes down the west side highway a few times. Those fu*kers would be under my GX if they tried that with me.

Lack of authority to keep nuisance like this in check is one thing, but its almost being encouraged in NYC. I do not want to make this political, but it seems like those in charge somehow benefit from the overall degeneracy and are actively promoting it.

Thanks Steve, I will keep this in mind. I used to always diss Jersey and said I'll never move out of NYC, but with everything thats going on here I'm ready to move. Almost all of my high school friends have moved, and for me it makes sense financially, business wise, and personal conveniences.

Watching the BMW video again, watching that kid punch the side window over and over and over again, hes gotta be on something. He must have broken his hand...

I moved to LI (North Shore) as I wanted to still be close to the city but with excellent school districts. The house prices and property taxes here are not cheap but at least they go to the schools and town.

My daughter is in 2nd grade - school has been open since the fall and she has only 10 kids in her class.

Also remember when you leave NYC - you no longer have to pay NYC income tax which helped lower the impact of the higher RE taxes in LI compared to my previous house in Brooklyn.

I like Long Island, but the traffic on there is just just insane, and it's just too isolated, and if you need to go anywhere you have to go through the city which adds hours to your commute.

Crazy stuff! I thought the "bike parties" here in CA were annoying, but at least they don't vandalize stuff (as far as I know...).

BTW this is not an isolated incident- i have seen these mobs take over the city for years now and NYPD just looks the other way. High end shops in Soho and midtown get robbed daily, nothing is done either. Nobody cares.

In the remote chance, anyone is arrested for looting, theft, assault etc - you get released right away with the no cash bail reforms.
