According to a survey done by Long Island index just last year, Long Island is experiencing a mass exodus. To be more precise, roughly 71 percent of young adults currently residing in Long Island are determined to leave it behind in the next five years to come. This has people around the tristate area wondering why are so many young people leaving Long Island. And the answer is simple enough—no prospective jobs and not enough income to afford housing.

Are they also leaving NY entirely?
Taxes.
We lived in Queens 25 years.
Bolted back to Missouri when we retired.
I left in 1969 as a teenager, never to return.
If one were under 18, one could not drive in nor through NYC.
Captives we were.
Not sorry I finally escaped.
Where are they going?
The property taxes on Long Island are astronomical. My niece and her husband were house hunting and found a home that they liked. The $26K a year in property taxes were just too much for them. They are still looking.
Everyone is leaving because the housing market is too tight.
That’s a version of “nobody goes there anymore, it’s too crowded.”
I grew up on the Island, it is now unrecognizable.
Flee.
Flee while you can.
The comments under that article were more informative than the article itself, though the article was pretty good!
Thank Christ they aren’t coming anywhere near me with their libtard voting preferences. Most of the places are already severely libtard.

Anthony’s Song (Moving Out) - Billy Joel
Anthony works in the grocery store
Savin’ his pennies for someday
Mama Leone left a note on the door
She said, Sonny, move out to the country
Workin’ too hard can give you
A heart attack (ack)
You oughta know by now (oughta know)
Who needs a house out in Hackensack
Is that what you get with your money
It seems such a waste of time
If that’s what it’s all about
Mama if that’s movin’ up
Then I’m movin’ out
I’m movin’ out
Sergeant O’Leary is walkin’ the beat
At night he becomes a bartender
He works at Mister Cacciatore’s down
On Sullivan Street
Across from the medical center
He’s tradin’ in his Chevy for a Cadillac
You oughta know by now
And if he can’t drive
With a broken back
At least he can polish the fenders
It seems such a waste of time
If that’s what it’s all about
Mama if that’s movin’ up
Then I’m movin’ out
I’m movin’ out
You should never argue with a crazy mind (mmm)
You oughta know by now
You can pay Uncle Sam with the overtime
Is that all you get for your money
If that’s what you have in mind
If that’s what you’re all about
Good luck movin’ up
‘Cause I’m moving out
I’m moving out
I’m moving out
Over the last 60 years or so NYS has lost almost half its House seats.
Odds are that they are liberal and are moving to vote in a city near you and me and they will turn other states just like they have Colorado.
