And that trend isn’t unique to the Big Apple. When you take a look at 2020’s 10 most moved-out-of cities and compare them to the previous year, you see that the list remains relatively consistent. Eight of the 10 cities make both lists.

New York liberals were the super spreaders.
My nephew moved to Texas to work with Tesla. Covid shut that income stream down.
He is now flipping houses just north of Dallas.
Making net...net...50-100,000 per flip.
More evidence of why we have so many more Biden signs than we did Hillary signs here in Texas. These liberals are like locusts spreading their destruction with them.
Too bad about Leander, now they are going to screw that place up, they will probably restrict people from riding the twisted sisters because of the “noise”.
I think I can call my daughter and her boyfriend temporary movers. Twice! They live(d) in Brooklyn, and within 2 weeks of lockdown moved to an unoccupied, air BnB rental in New Jersey that the boyfriend’s sister owned and rented out. She didn’t have any customers because of the lockdown, so they paid a small rent to her while all hell was being unleashed in Brooklyn. They stayed there till July when NY started to open. That didn’t last long. So that was their first temporary move.
By the middle of August, they were sick of being cooped up. This time they packed all their camping and hiking gear and have been going to National Parks and other scenic venues across the country. They left on August 18, and have no plans to return until December. Good thing they can work remotely!
