I left my home state of NY for what it has become. I was born and raised in the heart of NYC, lived in a wonderful, safe, close knit neighborhood, had a good job, access to museums and theater. I won’t go back even to visit because it is no longer safe to walk the streets or ride the subways. The politicians with their bail reform finally did NYC in.
