[New York Post] Moving trucks were out in force on Manhattan’s Upper West Side on Saturday — leaving Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa practically tripping over them.
“The mass evacuation of Upper West Siders from NYC is in full effect,” Sliwa, who lives on W. 87th Street, lamented, blaming the city’s decision this summer to house hundreds of emotionally disturbed homeless and recovering addicts in neighborhood hotels.
Story continues below advertisementA mayoral candidate, Sliwa has been organizing and often leading Guardian Angels patrols of the area.
“They were stacked up,” Sliwa told The Post of the four trucks he saw as he took a morning walk on Saturday.
Stopping at each truck, he was told each was heading out of state.
No sooner had Sliwa stepped out of his apartment building — where nine out of the 12 units are empty — than he saw the first moving truck of the morning.
It was the eighth truck he’s seen on his block in less than two weeks.
“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,’” he said.
“They told me, ‘Curtis, first the pandemic hit us and now the quality of life is so bad’” Sliwa said.
“The woman was almost crying. They said they survived the ’70s,” as a young couple in the then-high crime neighborhood. “But then in a month, in July, the neighborhood was destroyed.”
On his way to his local deli at West 87th Street and Columbus Avenue, he saw the second truck.
“They were heading to Concord, New Hampshire,” Sliwa said.
The third truck was nearby, on Columbus at West 84th Street.
“They were moving to Tennessee. The driver told me ‘We’re working morning, noon and night’ to move people out of state.”
The fourth truck was at W. 75th and Central Park West.
“It was a young family,” a mom and dad, and a little boy and girl.
“They were moving themselves down to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina,” Sliwa said.
“They said in the last month, there have been so many disturbed people in the streets, aggressively panhandling, defecating, urinating — they leave the hotels and have no bathrooms to use,” Sliwa said of the new homeless neighbors, who he believes are also victims.
“These are the people who elected de Blasio, who live here,” Sliwa said. “It’s a progressive, liberal neighborhood. And now there’s a visceral hate here for him — the feeling that he has virtually singlehandedly destroyed this city.”

It’s called Californication now. The leftist, dem0rat pigs who live here are beyond belief. Their sanctimonious delusional immorality is something they brag about.

and Nevada – we’re getting a lot more of Californians -I get it, but if you move here you don’t try to change the ways we do things – they’re always whining and moaning how they want to change our laws.

If you seek refuge in my Arizona, I hope you leave New York liberalism and rudeness back there. Zonies are armed, and short-tempered.

I never voted for the Marxist “Kaiser Wilhelm” de Blasio for so much as dog catcher. I saw from the start what a snake he was.

”“These are the people who elected de Blasio, who live here,” Sliwa said. “It’s a progressive, liberal neighborhood.” – if you’re coming south don’t bring your progressive, liberal, godlessness with you.

A young man I worked with asked my opinion of BLM violence and race issues. He said he was asking me
‘because ‘you’re old and you lived in the South.’ I answered with a question of my own.
‘Have you or anyone you know ever claimed to be so badly offended that you said to yourself “Man, I’m so upset. To make myself feel better I’m going to steal a large flat-screen TV, loot a liquor store and set fire to my neighborhood”?
It’s the culture.

I agree. cf.
Dr. Camille Paglia, professor at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, said in a discussion with scholar Christina Hoff Sommers:
“What has happened is these young people now getting to college have no sense of history of any kind. No sense of history. No world geography. No sense of the violence and the barbarities of history. So, they think that the whole world has always been like this, a kind of nice, comfortable world where you can go to the store and get orange juice and milk, and you can turn on the water and the hot water comes out. They have no sense whatever of destruction, of the great civilizations that rose and fell, and so on, and how arrogant people get when they’re in a comfortable civilization, etc. So they now are being taught to look around them to see defects in America – which is the freest country in the history of the world – and to feel that somehow America is the source of all evil in the universe, and it’s because they’ve never been exposed to the actual evil of the history of humanity. They know nothing!”

The Chinese and Saudis are funding the universities to get this marxist training completed… And don’t forget the Chinese spying, and influence over local, state, and federal governments… And the Sars 1 and Sars 2….

And now the leftist f’ing NYC Dem0rats will be infesting some Red state with their Communist, left leaning, degenerate “morality” and love affair w/muslums. Like parasites muslums and Dem0rats destroy a place then move on to loot someplace else.
