The exodus from has already begun.

Within minutes of his mayoral win, dozens of parents in New York City began unenrolling their kids in NYC public schools, with plans to flee the city for other locations such as Connecticut.

This is only going to get worse. As Mamdani puts his agenda into action, people are going to realize that they need to leave the city, which is only going to further depress the city’s tax base.

The New York Post reports:

Parents began planning to take their kids out of NYC schools minutes after ’s mayoral win

Zohran Mamdani’s victory has New Yorkers running for the hills — or at least private schools outside of the city.

Since the results of Tuesday’s election came in, school placement consultant Christopher Rim told The Post he’s had no less than 23 clients reach out to him. They’re looking to relocate — and they want his help getting their kids into elite private high schools and middle schools in other states

“Within the first 30 minutes of AP announcing Mamdani’s victory, I got three messages from families looking to move,” said Rim, the founder and CEO of Command Education.

Others sought his assistance months ago.

“Over the summer, I started hearing families say, ‘I don’t know what we are going to do if this guy wins,’” he said.

Feeling that a Mamdani victory was inevitable, six of his clients moved to Connecticut — Greenwich, Darien and Riverside — ahead of the school year.

“They were like, ‘He’s going to win, and there’s no reason [to wait],’” Rim said.

This is just the beginning.

Some people in red areas do not want the people leaving New York.

Things are going to get very interesting in the coming months.
