Why New Yorkers Flee for Florida

[anatta]

A recent article in a Beltway publication warned about a potential recession and considered how it might affect President Trump’s chances at re-election. The story began—no joke: “The luxury real estate market in Manhattan is sagging.” It goes on to argue that softening in the real-estate market in high-tax Northeastern states is caused by the 2017 tax-reform law. Thus the claim is that because taxpayers can deduct only $10,000 in state and local taxes from their federal returns, America is heading for a recession.

Nonsense. The tax-reform law stops high-tax states from burdening the rest of us with their irresponsible decisions. America is a marketplace where states are competing with each other, and New York is losing. Their loss is Florida’s gain—and Texas’ and South Carolina’s and Ohio’s and Indiana’s.

I would like to tell New Yorkers on behalf of the rest of America that our hearts go out to you for your sagging luxury real-estate market. But you did this to yourself, and you can fix it yourself. If you cut taxes and make state and local government efficient, maybe you can compete with Florida again.

I’m an outsider to politics and spent most of my career in business. I ran both small and large companies—a doughnut shop and the country’s largest health-care provider. I employed hundreds of thousands of Americans and was responsible for making payroll for most of my career. But I grew up in public housing, in a family that struggled for work. I know how important it is to get people back to work.

When I ran for governor in 2010, I evaluated Florida as a turnaround opportunity. It had great assets—and, more important, great people—but was suffering from mismanagement and a lack of leadership. The naysayers said a businessman can’t make government work. They were wrong. My administration cut more than $10 billion in taxes and more than 5,000 burdensome regulations. Florida businesses created nearly 1.7 million new jobs. We paid off more than one-third of our state debt over my eight years as governor while we made record investments in education, transportation and the environment.

I made more than 20 trips to high-tax states like California, Connecticut, Illinois, New York and Pennsylvania to lure businesses to Florida. The tax-happy leaders of those states were furious, which made the visits all the more enjoyable for me. They called me every name in the book. But they were the ones who raised taxes, and bad decisions have consequences.

The elites in New York and Washington should commission a study of Florida to see what happens when conservative ideas are put into practice. The luxury real-estate market in Manhattan may be sagging, but Florida’s economy is thriving, expanding at a record pace.

There’s a reason Florida surpassed New York as the third-largest state. There’s a reason Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s mom left New York for Florida. And there’s a reason companies are fleeing high-tax states, bringing jobs with them to Florida, Tennessee and Texas.

Florida still has more non-native Floridians than native ones. Just over 1/3 of residents were born there. Only Nevada, at 25%, has less native born residents.

It's a growing percentage of native born . the cold weather & tax flight from the north/east still sends 'em down.
It's what got me down here from Maryland 20 years ago this month. but I want no part of Dems trying to raise taxes here

Florida, America's limp dick, is a shithole.

Any rational, sober adult would take New York 10 times out of 10.

Not surprised you'd consider a toilet like FL a 'paradise'.

What I find funny is Dems will do like you did because of high taxes yet vote for candidates that want to place on them the same high taxes they moved to get away from.

He's not in NY. According to previous posts, he's in LA.

Sounds to me as if he's confusing the claimed location of another sock account.
