Although it can be somewhat entertaining watching the majority of voters in a certain area get upset after getting exactly what they voted for, the frustrating part comes next: When those same people move to more sane areas and then vote for the same kind of policies they just voted for and eventually fled.
Such is the case in a story that's developing in New York City:
East Villagers sue Mamdani to stop relocation of notorious Bellevue men's homeless shelter into their neighborhood https://t.co/7AyZRPy8cF pic.twitter.com/Qs4oLFSgmB

Somebody should ask those East Villagers why they're so angry about that. After all, the vast majority of them voted for it:
Over 70% of the East Village voted for Mamdani.

Now they’re suing Mamdani because he’s planning to relocate Bellevue homeless shelter to the East Village. https://t.co/O9so7tGGlt pic.twitter.com/B1wPupD7RE

This didn't take long at all.
Enraged East Villagers sued Mayor Zohran Mamdani in a last-gasp effort to stop the relocation of hundreds of homeless men to a new shelter in their neighborhood.
The lawsuit filed Monday seeks an emergency restraining order that would prevent the “rushed” May 1 opening of the intake shelter along Third Street.
The site was selected by City Hall as one of two intake shelters in Manhattan that would effectively replace the notorious Bellevue homeless shelter — a haven for often-dangerous vagrants that Mamdani plans to close by the end of the month.
Anybody who voted for Mamdani should have known that "often-dangerous vagrants" and criminal illegals could end up being their neighbors but apparently they hoped that would only be somebody else's problem.
Libs will literally vote for a communist and then sue him to protect their own backyards.

Sociopathic levels of contradiction. https://t.co/7KeOKpZY89
The bad parts of socialism (which is all of it) are only supposed to happen to somebody else, not THEM!
May they get what they voted for good & hard. https://t.co/AgifUGsDcV

Elections have consequences.
Voting for socialist communists has severe consequences.
This is what you voted for!
Glorious!

Unreal. It's just too bad that the voters who bring this upon themselves refuse to see it. The people suing the Mamdani administration would vote for somebody just like him all over again.
