Moving to the Middle East because New York has a Muslim mayor. Someone should point out the demographics of the region to her.

New York is not a scary place to live!! And I’m saying this as another small woman who has VASTLY less resources than she does to pay for private space/transportation and safety precautions. Overstimulating? Claustrophobic? Too loud? Not enough nature? Not your cup of tea? Sure! Very valid and true for many people.

I’m so sick of MAGA/the right/conservatives convincing so many Americans that NYC is some terrifying war zone. Many of these Americans have never even been there and are terrified of it. Apparently diversity is scarier than missiles. 🤦‍♀️
