Maybe I am cynical but based of my experience I would say 1. Does the new CEO live there or want to live there
Classic example: Greyhound Bus Lines, after spending it's entire corporate history in Chicago, picked-up and moved to Phoenix strictly because their new CEO preferred to live there.
He took the company into bankruptcy and his replacement moved them again, to Dallas.

Thanks-—my DIL was from the Rochester area and we have always loved Upstate NY-——I wasn’t aware of the property tax problem.

I guess the Manhattan Institute has dibs on the fact that taxes in NYC are about to go up markedly.

There’s a reason why NYS has lost almost half its House seats in 60 years. The uniparty is running this state into the ground.

Sad-——it’s a beautiful state.
We had many pleasant days in the Adirondacks——gorgeous.

It still is a gorgeous state. And there’s a lot to love here in addition to the geography. I’ve been in/to/through 44 of the 48 contiguous, and I still love Upstate best. But we won’t be staying.

That is positively “Detroitish”-———hope things improve.
I have only been to Rochester once,back in 1957,when I visited a cousin attending Nazareth College-—it was booming then.

Well, we can either stay and pay good money so public employees and welfare recipients can retire early and/or live well off taxation on our hard work. Or we can move somewhere else and live well on our nickel. We’re choosing the latter.
