$14B in income vanishes from NYC as 30K residents flee for Florida
Story by Chris Nesi • 20h

Tens of thousands of New York City residents have fled the Northeast for warmer climates in recent years — taking nearly $14 billion worth of income out of the Empire State, a new report found.

Around 30,000 Big Apple dwellers moved to Florida’s Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties between 2017 and 2022, according to the report by the nonpartisan Citizens Budget Commission.
 
The city has seen a reduction in its adjusted gross income of $9.2 billion from relocations to those two counties alone, and a total of $13.8 billion when accounting for thousands more who moved to other parts of the Sunshine State.

A large number of those who left New York were high wage earners — nearly 20,000 of those who went to Palm Beach making a per-capita income of about $190,000 and about 26,000 of the ones who went to Miami-Dade raking in some $266,000 per year, according to Bloomberg.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

You don't suppose NY's liberal policies have anything to do with it, do you? :whistle:

To read the liberal press many of these transplants from up there, hate it down here, and are self deporting back to the 3rd world shitholes they left.   Unfortunately it is fake news. Most of the bastards are staying.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.
