A poll of the city’s private sector workers conducted by Morning Consult on behalf of the Partnership for New York City reveals that concern about public safety, especially in the transit system, is the single biggest obstacle to mobilizing the return to work in the city’s office buildings.

Ninety-four percent of those polled said that not enough is being done to address homelessness and mental illness in the city, followed by assaults and gun violence, citing these as major contributors to safety on the streets and subways.

Eighty-four percent say conditions in the city have worsened in the past two years and 40% say they are considering moving out of New York City.
