These senators are all freaking out about a mayor.
A mayor in a city they hate, an East Coast Liberal Elite Crime Ridden City. You’d think they’d be happy about a NYC collapse, but now they’re suddenly concerned?
The hate for coastal cities is often sour grapes. In a lot of the country "getting out" is a far bigger success than stuff like having a family or starting a small business. And it's not like everyone wants to leave but enough do amd not many people want to come unless they're headed towards a boom bust town. And so these people feel judged by coastal elites who they feel are more successful or privileged than them, because maybe they could've been somebody too if things had gone differently and if their home was somewhere people wanted to live or visit. And like they know the TV and plays in new york and the movies in LA about getting out are written or inspired by those of us who did. And they don't understand the reality that a lot of people left because of the people. The insecurities play a huge role in all of it.
