Escape from New York!
New Yorkers are so worried about crime, sky-high housing costs and struggling schools, 27% percent of state residents said they want to move away in the next five years, a survey revealed Wednesday.
A stunning 30% of respondents — who also cited inept political leadership and soaring taxes as reasons for wanting to flee — said they already longed to live somewhere else, according to a Siena College Research Institute quality of life poll.
Nearly a third — about 31% — plan to leave the Empire State when they retire while even more said they believe it’s not safe for kids.
Angela Gutierrez, 38, of East Harlem, is one of the many New Yorkers who will soon ditch the state.
