Longtime New York residents discussed their reasons for leaving the city, which included issues regarding the pandemic as well as the growing crime problem.
Ex-New Yorkers are speaking out on being among the thousands who have left the Big Apple in recent years. 'I think everybody’s noticed a little bit of a shift in the city over the last year or so in terms of safety and cleanliness,' 31-year-old Samantha Pillsbury told the New York Post. According to a report released in December by the U.S. Census Bureau, 101,984 people moved out of the state of New York in 2023. This was the largest state population loss in the entire country.
The short answer is that I stopped loving it as much,' Pillsbury said. 'In the last couple of years, the tide sort of turned for how I felt about the city.' The content creator and marketing consultant cited multiple reasons for her move, including the 'work-obsessed culture' of the city and the noticeable rise in crime. 'I’m a single woman, and it started to get less safe, which then affects your entire life,' she told the Post.
The three, however, still spoke kindly about their former home. 'I really did believe all the cliché sayings of that, if you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere. I still believe that,' Heintz said. 'I believed that it was a city that never sleeps.'
