New Yorkers keep moving out of the city to suburbs, other states

[Jack]

Well, claro que si (of course) I know to whom you are referring.

Some of these fM’s appear to be light years ahead of you in their responses, Jacky.

Yo?

Earl. I sold INTO the rally yesterday. What did YOU do?
(you know what, cancel that last question out ... telling me would just lower my already low regard of how you spend your days in misery and desperation)

I kept my powder dry and watched the DOW go down by more than 100 points by the close of the market.

I bought Apple more than a year ago at 200 and bought more last week. It’s over 400 now.

Misery and desperation” you say, Jacky.

Watching the sun rise over the fairway from my deck, later from the veranda of the clubhouse with a cool drink.

Golf in the afternoon...late afternoon...it’s hot as Hades in Georgia.

Perhaps a bit of fishing early tomorrow.

Visiting my grandsons down the fairway, Braves game with the Yankees at 7PM.

It doesn’t get much better than that, Jacky.

This is the biggest financial drain NYC has ever faced and Cuomo and DiBlasio are to blame for it..they have made NYC unsafe, unlivable and absurdly expensive.
They keep trying to downplay the extraordinary tax drain on the city while allowing riots and looting to continue. Crime has soared the murder rate has doubled and as it gets worse more "Tax Paying Citizens" are fleeing...





The move is on — to leave New York City.

The exodus that began at the start of the coronavirus outbreak, with many New Yorkers departing to their beach and country homes, has continued unabated as more leave for good, according to city moving companies overwhelmed by the avalanche of ex-pats.

“People are fleeing the city in droves,” says Moon Salahie, owner of Elite Moving & Storing in Yonkers, who has been working nonstop since the city began Phase 1 of its reopening in June.

Salahie said 90 percent of the moves are to the suburbs and mostly families with kids worried about the school year. He’s packed people out of neighborhoods all over Manhattan.

“The least movement would be the Park Avenue and Fifth Avenue crowds,” he said. “Those people don’t have to leave because they have second homes.”

The coronavirus shutdown pushed Fatine and Oussama Fatri out the door of their midtown apartment. Fatine Fatri described “being cooped up in the apartment, two kids, my husband having to work from home.

“Before you can take them out to the park, playground. Now, that’s not even possible,” said the mother of 4-year-old and 7-month-old daughters. “It was a nightmare.”

With the help of Elite Moving the family departed Monday for a three-bedroom home in Scarsdale with a separate office and a nice yard with a play set.

Mark Ehrhardt, owner of Gowanus-based Movers, Not Shakers!, said his company was busy in downtown Brooklyn and Manhattan.

“All the kids are leaving,” he said. “The studios and one bedrooms are emptying out like crazy.”

Ehrhardt said he doubted the young people would return.

Good, prices are way too high in the city... maybe soon I can get a deal on some NYC real estate.

The cost of a UHaul from Dallas to NYC is a 1/3rd of a UHaul from NYC to Dallas.

Only surprising thing is that it took this long.

From a national political perspective liberals are playing chess. They know they have excess votes in states like California and New York so by 'forcing' people to leave to other states they are farming their voters out more evenly across the country and turning previous red areas/states blue.

These posts are pretty funny, shows the posters know little about the cities they are attacking, so the upper Eastside moves to the Hudson Valley, they will be replaced as fast as they move, and when COVID is gone, the City will be what it has always been, one of the greatest cities in the world

I wouldn’t say it was a game of chess, natural event, especially given the snowbirds in the NE

Dims in my city have gone too far. Even lifelong democrats have had it with our.mayor and city council.

Thank God. Hopefully they will vote these loons out.

I was saying that tongue-in-cheek but from a political perspective it's a reality. People leave California and have turned Arizona, Nevada and Colorado to purple and blue. I'm sure it's similar with those leaving New York and turning places like Virginia and North Carolina to purple and blue.

People leave California and New York for various reasons but a big one is cost of living and quality of life.

Then they screw up where they move to with Liberal politics.
