A few years ago, Rush Limbaugh moved out of NY because of the taxes. When he said something about it, the NY mayor said if he'd known he could have gotten rid of Limbaugh he would have raised taxes sooner.
I'm right across the Hudson and have driven in many times since the pandemic started. NYC is a ghost town. Many people are looking to get out for good.
I live in a fairly nice suburban area with a reputation for excellent schools outside a large southeastern city. I see the rental cars trolling through local neighborhoods, looking for houses. Its pretty clear what is happening.
Well if it makes you feel any better most of the people I know who are moving from NY to NC are GOP-types who are sick of dealing with downstate democrats and are sick of paying thousands of dollars a year in property taxes.
Yep, im part of the group that has left and is never looking back Looking forward to contributing my vote to FL (and not paying 13% in city/state taxes each year)
What an absolutely, shockingly unexpected outcome, with numbers being elastic and all. All you have to do is BELIEVE 2 + 2 = 9 --- be sure to put lots of feeeelings into it! --- and the Second Law of Thermodynamics will change!
I see a call for the building of Medieval stocks in Central Park to deal with the likes of De Blasio.
Not from the Right, but from those who were fooled. Those who "kept the faith" and were led down the garden path to destruction and ruin. Their payback will be the most vicious.
For a long time the argument has been NYC pays for a lot of infrastructure outside the city. If goods are being made or food is being grown, it's going to NYC. It's been a fairly beneficial relationship that got it's start in the 1800s with the Erie canal.
But with NYC dying, it'll be tough for the state to work together. But let's not forget. The Dems and media will only push for more states when it benefits them. If NY splits, The State of St Lawrence (which is a much better name than New Amsterdam) will have two gop senators and a good number of gop congressman. No way the Dems/media would ever let it happen.
I think upstate has so much potential to really be an economic power house but ita stifled by the taxes and regulations imposed by democrats elected by city imbociles. There are natural and agricultural resources, tourism, infrastructure and plenty of universities. With the shackles of leftist politics removed and solid leadership upstate could be a booming place instead of run down and depressed
I've never like city centers even before all this. Just a concentration of filth. People need to wake up to the insane property taxes they pay to live in that filth.
They thought the same thing that every socialist ever thinks, which Jordan Peterson calls the most arrogant statement anyone can make: "If I was in charge, everything would have turned out perfect"
Tell us more! You're saying that riots were the last straw for those cities? I just assumed that car factories moving overseas killed Detroit. Didn't know about riots.
It took a lot of doing, but I moved out of that area a month ago and now am living an excellent life in a Free State. I am never going back (except to visit, and only once NYC regains its sanity... which might not be soon).
1% of the population pays 50% of the taxes.
Let that sink in.
Those are the same 1% who live where robberies have increased 286%.

The thing Tim misses is that people have been moving out of New York for years. It didn't just start with the Covid plandemic.
After Pataki left office it's been a string of Dems at the state house. Don't let them off the hook.
But the exodus is why Cuomo is so big on puerto Rico, huge number of Islanders call NYC home. They're the only reason NYC is growing.
And since pr is an American shithole run by Dems all the Puerto Ricans are getting food stamps and stipends.
Absolutely.
And they're not coming back.
One percent of the population has over sixty percent of the money, so they still aren't paying their fair share of taxes.
Don't tell Cuomo...
Enjoy being remembered as the man who turned New York into New Detroit, Cuomo.
New Detroit where RoboCop has been defunded and the rest of the police are limited to defending Black Lies Matter "art".

Oh no! If only someone could have seen this coming!

How's that working out now, guys?
Imagine paying so much in taxes and having your government treat you so poorly then laugh about it.
Oh wait, we all know what that's like.
Joisey and CT did something similar and then were shocked when all the hedge fund billionaires moved to Florida.

Snake Plissken has joined the chat...
Gov. Cuomo closes down just about every bar and restaurant in NYC and now says he'll buy me a drink. Get bent.
Where's AOC?
They're never coming back

Cary, NC? At some point they're gonna have a little NY neighborhood in the triangle
And shortly thereafter your state will become The Bronx South, with an NYC mayor in the governor's mansion.

As New York petty DAs harass New York's most iconic Billionaire, Trump, hoping to find anything to pin on him.
I used to like visiting New York years ago. Now, i can't imagine i would want to spend a dime there again.
How can he buy them just a drink? Isn't there a food requirement with alcohol sales by his decree?
Time for everything north of Westchester to break off and form it's own state

DC has the value proposition. They have a running promo, you get one free Dem congressman with purchase of $1 or more

This was make a great post. The part about some dude named Stokely Carmichael especially. History rhymes. And the stanza length is only 50 years!
good summation. we've arrived today, as a result of the fallout from 1968. having Johnson in the white house didn't help them either.

Robbery and Murder up double or triple digit percentages from this time last year.
It's almost as if releasing criminals with no bail was not such a good idea.
If only Cuomo could have done something to dissuade them from fleeing.
Maybe something crazy, like letting the cops do their job, and not throwing sick patients in with the elderly.
The libtard Havahd grad CEO of my NYC based corp has been hiding in his $5Million Jackson Hole home since this started.
Well at least they can look forward to restaurants opening possibly summer 2021 (outside limited capacity of course).
It took a lot of doing, but I moved out of that area a month ago and now am living an excellent life in a Free State. I am never going back (except to visit, and only once NYC regains its sanity... which might not be soon).
I'LL buy a drink for Cuomo . . . . . . . a Cyanide Daiquiri !
He looks like his skinsuit is slipping
I'm over Tim Poole. He can't get his freaking facts straight about Trump and his capabilities as president.
