Proof that progressive govt DOES NOT work in the real world: People were fleeing de Blasio’s NYC well before COVID-19, city data shows

I hear Democrats like Bernie Sanders, AOC and fat cow Stacey Abrahams extol the virtues of progressive government. 

It's nothing but fool's gold for the uninformed because wherever progressive government takes hold in California and New York, cities like San Francisco, Portland, New York, Chicago and other Blue run city, people leave because life becomes a miserable mix of high crime, unrest, quality of life worsens in every single one of these places.    

How much proof is needed? 

Progressive government destroys, ,it does not enhance life!

NY Post reports this is one nasty city trend that Mayor Bill de Blasio can’t blame on a “perfect storm.”

New York City’s population shrank significantly even before the COVID-19 pandemic took a bite out of the Big Apple, city data reveals.

The city’s population declined 2.6 percent in 2018 — two years before the COVID outbreak, the Health Department’s 2018 Vital Statistics report on health outcomes said.

The report indicated the city’s population dropped from 8,622,698 in 2017 to 8,398,748 in 2018. That’s 223,950 fewer residents.

The figure, if accurate, would represent the biggest one-year population drop since the 1970s.
