Hochul: ‘I’m Not Sure’ Where ‘People Leaving New York’ Will Go, It’s ‘the Safest Big City in America’
Ian Hanchett 5 Oct 2022
During a portion of an interview aired on Tuesday’s edition of Bloomberg’s “Balance of Power,” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) stated that while “the horrific crimes that we’re seeing” keep her up at night and are “frightening” people, “New York City is still the safest big city in America. Look at Chicago, look at San Francisco, look at Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Washington. People leaving New York, I’m not sure where they’re going to go because we are the safest big city in America.”
Hochul said, “First of all, public safety is my number one priority. This is what keeps me up at night, the horrific crimes that we’re seeing. It’s frightening for people. But I also have to step back and talk about some of the targeted changes we’ve already made to the bail changes. Obviously, this was signed into law by my predecessor. The legislature went forth with the changes that they thought were important to make sure that there was public safety and justice in our court system, but we had to bring it back to make sure that judges consider other factors in deciding whether or not someone should be held on bail. They need to know whether or not there’s an order of protection, any commission of a gun violence crime. So, we gave the judges more than they had before. We also said that repeat offenders, people that are stealing off the shelves every day and selling the materials on eBay, they can’t keep getting away with that, the property crimes, in addition to the violent crimes. So, we did make changes to the bail laws.”
She continued, “But you have to look at the fact that this has been a nationwide phenomenon. Since the pandemic, crime has gone up everywhere, not just one state that happened to have some changes in their bail laws. So, we have to look at this in an honest way and say, well, New York City is still the safest big city in America. Look at Chicago, look at San Francisco, look at Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Washington. People leaving New York, I’m not sure where they’re going to go because we are the safest big city in America. We have reduced our shooting rate down 10% statewide, 13% in the city, and it’s only gone down 2% across the nation. But I only say those statistics in terms of context. That doesn’t mean that I’m not laser-focused on continuing to work in partnership with local law enforcement, not just in the city of New York, but also in Syracuse and in Rochester and Albany, where I’ve convened people to talk about how the state can, number one, fund law enforcement more aggressively, make sure they have all of the resources they need, fund other programs, make changes to the laws we talk about, make sure that we look at issues like Kendra’s Law and others where people may be falling through the cracks. We have a responsibility to protect our citizens. Between getting crime under control, working with the local law enforcement, and then building the affordable housing, there will be no stopping the explosive potential for the state of New York in this post-pandemic era.”

Well, let's see. Are they required to live in a large city? When people left NYC in the 70s and 80s, did they head to biggest metropolitan area they could find? Or maybe a well-ordered suburb.
What a dingbat.

What a creepy little woman with her thirty years ago face.

Keep telling yourself that Kathy.
Meanwhile, people will keep leaving for safer places.

In the interest of accuracy, it’s: “What a corrupt dingbat”.

Would this have anything to do with deranged homeless people randonly attacking and killing subway riders?

Last Sat in I met a retired (Not going to mention the Dept he worked in) who move here to L.A. I was joking around with him about not New Yorking our Florida! He said not to worry he lived north of Albany with the "Normal" people. The subject switched to Hochul. He said he has had occasions to speak with her. He asked me if I had ever met someone for the 1st time and came away with the impression, from just one conversation, that they were one stupid human being....that would be The Gov!
I think he will like it here!

Ms. Hochul will not only win in November... but win by double digits, to boot.
Remember, for each [former] New Yorker who leaves in disgust, that means the remaining state "grows bluer" by one person.

This woman has to be Pelosi's daughter. Some how, some way, they must be related. They are both ignorant totalitarian Satanic Witches. And both are ugly enough to break a mirror. You have to wonder how some of these politicians sleep at night. Must be nice to have no sense of a conscious at all?

If Hochul really believes what she is saying and New York is really that safe she should put her money where her mouth is and get rid of her personal bodyguards.

NYC certainly isn't safe for Orthodox Jews or people of Asian descent.

Many Jewish neighborhoods in New York have their own security teams. They have history to follow as their teacher. No one will watch over you better than your own people.

Two people shot outside NY gov hopeful Rep. Lee Zeldin’s Long Island home while twin daughters inside

NY Post (https://nypost.com/2022/10/09/two-people-shot-outside-ny-gov-hopeful-rep-lee-zeldins-long-island-home-while-twin-daughters-inside/)Two people were shot outside the Long Island home of GOP gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin on Sunday while his teenage twin daughters were at home, he confirmed to The Post.
“My daughters Mikaya and Ariana were doing homework on the first floor,” said Zeldin, who was not home at the time. “They heard the shots. Boom! They went upstairs and locked themselves in the bathroom.
“They’re freaked out,” he said.
The Suffolk County pol, who is running on a tough-on-crime platform, said the two people who were shot were taken to Long Island Community Hospital. ...
Yeah, Gov. Hochul, I can't imagine how anyone might get the idea that NY has a crime problem.

Has this loon lived anywhere else as an adult?

@mountaineer
From the RUMORS I have heard,those two groups may be the safest groups living right in the city because they control their neighborhoods. Especially the Jews,who have a VERY low violent crime rate to start with. I have heard tales for years about Jewish diamond brokers walking the streets with millions in diamonds in their briefcases. Sure,they no doubt how armed security following them around in plain clothes,but how many other neighborhoods in NYC could you get away with this?
As for the Asian neighborhoods,their crime is all strictly Asian on Asian. Anybody that isn't an Asian starts robbing or raping in one of those neighborhoods won't live very long.

The race is down to 5 points. DeSantis needs to call a special session to ban her from from moving to Florida if she loses.

She's too close to 50%.
It would be great to see her get beaten, but I don't think that's gonna happen.
It's New York state, after all.
