NYC is incredibly expensive, that's the simplest reason why people are leaving. The "crime" narrative is very popular, but never scaled to population. Comparing the number of murders and roberries to a little podunk town or midsize city without considering how many people live, work or visit NYC daily is a favorite trick for folks who want to spin their little tales.
Despite the incompetent mayor and NYPD, crime is actually down for the most part in NYC:

Sky high rents are mostly due to lack of supply and hoarding by corporations and money-laundering foreign interests.
Also, the half-million number is New York State. Net population loss was one-quarter of a million. Mostly clickbait, IMHO.
