The Citizens Budget Commission published a revealing survey Wednesday showing low ratings among New Yorkers regarding quality of life, feelings of safety, government services, public spending, and neighborhood satisfaction.
The “Straight from New Yorkers” survey of 1,750 New York City residents paints a bleak picture of resident satisfaction with post-pandemic NYC, extending a trend of low confidence with government since the COVID-19 pandemic struck the city in 2020. However, the survey shows a slight uptick in resident satisfaction and feelings of safety when compared to the same survey’s results in 2023.
