This is the magic of NYC. As if it was aseptic everywhere then there would be no point in traveling. NYC in the 1980s was even more "wild" and unpredictable. It was dangerous alby through it until it breathed freedom. And it was never a city for family people. That's what the other 99% of cities in the US are for. What sets NYC apart from other cities is, so to speak, the spirit of the old, free and crazy times (the 1970s and 1980s).

I lived in NYC from mid-90s to 2022, now live in Singapore, and I think you are both missing some key points. It is true that Singapore is very clean, generally very safe (though they get their occasional crazies as well), and hyper-efficient (the MRT and the airport are stellar). Yet a recent poll showed that most Singaporeans would rather escape and live outside of Singapore, mostly due to the high cost of living and very narrow expectations and options. And despite ostensibly being multicultural Singapore is increasingly becoming homogeneous around Chinese culture. In contrast I found NYC's unabashed multiculturalism and acceptance to be its greatest strength, and what made it so much better than any other city. To live in NYC was always a challenge, even more so for immigrants and artists and entrepreneurs and dreamers - but that was a crucible that was common to everyone, and there was a pride and shared experience that I never detected in any other major city. I don't blame so-called "multiculturalism nonsense" (which reeks of the Midwest or South). Rather I blame the politicians and Democratic machine - not that I am anti-Democrat (Biden over Trump forever), but when one party becomes too entrenched then inefficiencies and corruption tend to follow. Guiliani is a madman now, but back in the 1990s he was the right person, as was Bloomberg after 9/11. NYC arguably needs a center-right mayor now.

There were many small shops throughout the city where they could find the art materials (and all kinds of odds and ends) to create original work. Artists like Robert Rauschenberg, Louise Nevelson, Joseph Cornell, Jasper Johns were able to take advantage of that affordable climate. Today's NYC is a constant stimulus but the highly creative atmosphere of earlier decades is completely gone.

Crime everywhere appears much higher than it is, compared to the past, because everybody now has a video recording device in their pocket today, in the form of a smartphone. This wasn't the case 10, 20, 30, 50 years ago. That is, the chances of a crime being recorded is nearly 100% today, vs 1% or lower in the past. So it seems like crime is super high now when it really is much lower than 1975 thru 2000, nationwide. This includes NYC and other major cities.

Sadly everything you’ve said is true and there’s much more you could have added. For reasons I will never understand, many of my fellow New Yorkers make no connection between the abysmal slide into anarchy we are experiencing and the elected officials presiding over this catastrophe. From the mayor and city council to the governor and legislature, we have no real leadership but instead a superabundance of social engineers. I’m third generation New Yorker and come September, we’re leaving. And it breaks my heart.

This is quite common in the US -- it's citizens (regardless of which party is in charge), have no idea where their taxes are applied to. The US Media always harps on us Europeans (UK/GM) paying up to 40% of our taxes to the Government - this is true. What isn't reported to the American Public, is that we SEE where our tax dollars go to. The London Subway (Tube) is constantly being upgraded and is far more cleaner than NYC's by any means. Our crime rate is far lower than the US and our social systems do provide for medical, shelters, welfare requirements. We, just like the US have many immigrants arriving and difficulties, but for whatever reason, I don't understand why American Citizens aren't informed by their local, state, and federal agencies to exactly how their tax dollars are being spent and to whose pockets it is going. There is NO reason for NYC to be paying that exorbant amount of money for ONE new subway station -- impossible. I hope the US Citizens get a better opportunity to hold it's leaders (in both parties and levels) accountable for spending issues as the current state appears unacceptable. With much love to the USA from Europe.

I didn't expect Xiaoma to talk about this issue, but I'm glad he did. I live in Canada and we're experiencing a lot of the same problems, especially Toronto, Vancouver, all the largely developed cities. I think this was really well put together and said in a way that will make sure everyone understands without trying to outright blame one thing in particular. It's a collection of problems, but things are going downhill fast. Thanks for your amazing content Xiaoma, good luck in New Jersey.

If you watch old movies & cartoons, they often had memes about "calling the men in white coats" when someone was acting crazy. That came from the fact that we used to have an entire infrastructure for mental health care, including dedicated staff who would respond to mental health emergencies (rather than police), and facilities where the patients could be brought. (Those big state hospitals & asylums.) Unfortunately the care administered at such institutions ranged from "indifferent" to "sadistic". We had the infrastructure, but the techniques and understanding of mental disorders were lacking. Regardless, the Federal funding for such programs was cut bit by bit until it was finally ended entirely during the Reagan administration. That is why the mentally ill homeless population exploded in the 1980s and hasn't gone down since, and why there are so many abandoned mental institutions in every state. I've always wondered what we could accomplish if we had a mid-20th Century level of funding and dedicated infrastructure for mental health, combined with modern-day understanding of treatment. It wouldn't be perfect, but I'll bet it would be one hell of an improvement over our current strategy of "there is no strategy".

At least they didn't send your warrant to a PO Box in Berwick, Maine. I didn't make any accounting mistakes, and they claimed I didn't pay my 2012 taxes, and put a warrant and lien on my company for it anyway. I did make a mistake on my taxes a few years ago - 0.1% mistake - and they tried to take 1.2 million because of it. I owed something like five hundred bucks. over a time period of over 3 years. while running 3 businesses. I am not mad I left. Enjoy life elsewhere. At the end of the day, *it's not about the tax rate!* This is the part nobody gets. It's about _knowing what I will pay ahead of time_ and not having to have hair fall out wondering when the next time bureaucratic incompetence might result in me losing everything I have & being in hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt for the rest of my life.

It's not about whether social services can work, it's about the fact that in too many American cities they don't work. The reason for that is corruption.

What makes the incompetence of the MTA even more frustrating is just how lazy they are. Anyone with common sense can clearly see that the IBX should be a subway, yet the MTA is building as a light rail, making the service worse and unable to be extending into the Bronx or Staten Island, just because they didn't want to bother widening one tunnel and moving some wires. Not only does NYC spend way too much for basic infrastructure projects, but those egregious prices are actually cost saving measures for a worse project than what you would get anywhere else in the world.

Leave your kids at home

Well said. New York has so much potential to be great but has become ruined by absolute incompetence. But it's not only New York City. Throughout the country, there are many examples of this. I feel as if this country as a whole is starting to flip itself upside down with ineffective governance, and it is something that really concerns me.

My son was born in 2018, the minute my wife became pregnant I started looking to leave Brooklyn. Bought a house in Toms River, NJ in 2019 and it was the best thing i ever did.

I have followed this guy for years. One of the most innocuous people that I follow too. He’s brilliant when it comes to language and is really just spreading joy and positivity through real communication. But even he is done with NYC. I couldn’t relate more. Moved out of NYC a few years ago for the same reasons and I won’t be back. The top 1 percent and the criminals are the only ones who benefit from these policies in NYC and it’s just really sad. I had worked and lived in NYC for over a decade. No more.

Relocating to Jersey instead of staying in NYC is interesting. Even though it's technically part of the NYC metro area, Jersey offers some distance from the city's jurisdiction. You're still close enough to see Manhattan and remain in the cultural hub, but with potentially more favorable policies and a lower cost of living. Some people are put off by the high taxes in NYC, feeling that paying over 50% is excessive. This ties into the broader debates around government financial policies and how the Democratic party has shifted further left compared to the centrist, pragmatic approach of the 90s. Both parties used to be more moderate, but now there's increased polarization. Because of this, some families are prioritizing their wellbeing by moving to red states with policies they see as more pro-business, lower taxes, and leaning 'hard right' rather than 'hard left'. Of course, red states also come with their own trade-offs like strong religious values, opposition to abortion, a tough-on-crime stance, support for the second amendment, and pushback against 'woke' culture. If you're considering such a move, just be aware you'd be exchanging one set of policies for another. Some would advise really reflecting on your personal values and voting preferences to avoid ending up somewhere you're still dissatisfied with the governance. It's a complex decision with pros and cons to weigh up. But getting a bit of distance from NYC while staying nearby could be a good middle ground for your content creation. Just something to think about... I love your videos!

This was a really well-argued video. I've been frustrated to see some NYC-based creators recently posting a ton of click-bait style videos about the decline of the city. But this was all explained and discussed in a fair and reasonable way. These are real issues and it's becoming more and more difficult to raise a family here in the city. Wishing you the best as you settle into NJ life!

As a native New Yorker who moved to North Carolina, this is so true. My husband was freaking out because at least once a week I would be harassed or touched or groped or would be screamed at in my face (and I’m a 4’10” woman) on the subway commuting to and from work. So many of my other friends have experienced this too. Enough!

Well, IF you are leaving NY and you want to live where there are a LOT of languages spoken in the US I would consider Houston Texas. I believe it is now considered THE most culturally divers city in the US now. West and North no flooding.

If you're anything like me, you're gonna miss home despite everything. There will be learning lessons and growing pains. I'm considering selling my house and moving to a rural part of California if not somewhere else in the Southwest. Climate has a lot to do with it. Food for thought. Good luck.

@@Snazy30 I, for one, love Oklahoma as I lived there for a couple years. I'd like to live there again. That said, red states DO have their drawbacks as well. Oklahoma was actively starving their education system BEFORE the whole wokeness craze and in more so (at least in effect) in rural areas with some rural districts having to go to 4 day school weeks. There really isn't a perfect solution between so-called red and blue states, only stay away from the areas that have gone off the deep end such as L.A. (despite all its inherent advantages).

I used to travel to NYC every two weeks for about two years straight in 2006-2007, then monthly from 2008-2012. It was an amazing place, never had to really worry about safety in the areas I was in (Murray Hill, Midtown, etc.). Now I have two daughters & I've often told them how much I would love to take them to NYC, but in its current state, there's no way I'm gonna do it. So sad to see such an awesome city get ruined by the greed, corruption & incompetence of its leaders.

FIFTY PERCENT of one's salary going to tax? Right...

It's all about leadership (or the lack thereof). I grew up in NYC and left in the early 1990s right after college and moved to South Carolina. My brother is now in Colorado. The rest of my family is in Florida. My wife's family is now in Indiana and North Carolina. Our families lived in NYC for generations, and one by one, we left. None of us regret that decision..... GREAT video! Haven't been in NYC since 2017 and it sounds like things have been in a complete freefall since then.
