Fearful New Yorkers plan to flee city on Election Day: ‘People will go nuts’

Some people want to get out the vote. Others just want to get out.
New Yorkers are on edge after a leaked NYPD memo, obtained by The Post, revealed this week that police are preparing for protests to begin as early as Oct. 25 and grow in intensity through next year. The department decreed officers should “be prepared for deployment,” adding: “This November 3rd will be one of the most highly contested presidential elections in the modern era. There is also a strong likelihood that the winner of the presidential election may not be decided for several weeks.”
It’s enough to make some residents run for the hills.
Paulo Wei, a 25-year-old Columbia student who lives in a luxury building on the Upper West Side, is heading to his family’s 60-acre farm in Port Jervis, two hours north of NYC, to avoid a repeat of the unrest that freaked him out this summer.
“I felt trapped in the apartment — the protests were overwhelming,” said Wei, noting that crowds often gathered on the West Side Highway near his home. “It could happen again and I don’t want to be caught up in that. No Paulo’s upstate farm.Paulo Wei
He plans to continue his studies in computer science, and run his farm-to-table meal-delivery service, Our Kitchen, remotely. “I’ll come back when everything is settled down.” (As a Chinese citizen, he cannot vote.)
Flatiron resident Andrea, 31, also decided to pack up before Nov. 3. “I went to my parents in New Jersey for about two weeks when the BLM protests got bad and the looting started. So I definitely want to get out of here the week of the election,” said the public-relations specialist, a Republican who asked that her last name not be used. “I’m thinking if Trump wins, it’s going to be a disaster — the city will be on fire. People are going to go nuts.”
She and two girlfriends are heading to Tulum, Mexico, from Oct. 25 until Nov. 8. “I think I’ll avoid a lot of it,” she said.
