New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) is on a rehabilitation tour for the Big Apple as crime and cost of living continues to be just some of the consistent problems for the area.
On Tuesday, Adams tweeted, "There are only two types of Americans: those who live in New York, and those who wish they could. We got this."

Now every city and town has its pros and cons. While NYC used to be a great place to live, there is no denying it is going through an extremely tough time, thanks in large part to Democratic policies. While it may be a good place to visit, there is a reason why people have left NYC in droves.
Users on Twitter listed out such reasons in response to Adams:
Tell that to all the New Yorkers who are fleeing to Miami because your city is a dumpster fire

LMFAO! Manhattan lost 6.9% of its population in 2021, more than any other major US county. Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx were also in the top 10. https://t.co/xuxdfD08aL

It seems Adams is hellbent on continuing the slow decay that has been eating at the city for well over a decade and is trying to put lipstick on a pig.
