I live in Central Jersey, near the shore, about an hour out of NYC. It's a real estate sellers' market here. People are putting in bids for houses 20% over the asking price.

These are New Yorkers fleeing in droves....

the Upper West Side — now teeming with junkies, the homeless, convicts...

gangs, "the virus"...rats, and RATs...it's all the same thing.

If you have any doubt what kind of Politics they will bring with them, just look at what the California Migrants have done and are still doing to the once Conservative City of Austin Texas.

They’re doing that to Charlotte. I work for banks. I know a few people in banking up there who are DYING to get transferred down here. Even taking the 20% haircut in salary the banks demand, their standard of living still rises dramatically.

The problem is this place is getting swamped with Leftist Yankees who vote for all the same crap that ruined where they came from. They even sheepishly laugh when you point out that the things they voted for back home (their utopia!) ruined it. Yet they keep right on voting for the same crap. Its amazing.

"NYC residents can flee the city, but where can Americans go if leftists wreck the whole country?"

And they will if the people fleeing New York and other leftist hellholes vote in the same policies, in their new locations, that caused them to flee.

One likely reason: The virus was but the last straw; New Yorkers are fed up with the shootings and lootings, homelessness on the streets, sub-par online schools, sky-high taxes and the sheer obliviousness of pols like Mayor Bill de Blasio and Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

...and the knowledge that it will only get worse, and quickly.

If they all migrate to, say, the east coast of Florida, it might tip over!

Thank you!

What a moron! “Liberalism” is indeed an incurable mental illness.

Will Rogers said, “Some men learn by reading, some learn by observation, and some just have to pee on the electric fence.” Those that leave NYC, then continue to vote Democrat in their new location definitely fall into Will’s last category. Unfortunately that category will be very large, and they will poison the well at their new location. They are simply stuck on stupid.

I find it interesting that there were electric fences in Will’s day

Dear New Yorkers, if your a Liberal, Texas doesn’t want you either. Go North to Canada. It’s Liberal and much closer for you.

They are flocking to Atlanta and already turning it into a chithole. We are packing up and moving to the mountains as are many other southerners. We have had all the diversity we can stomach.

Yep, Texas doesn’t want them. We have enough already with Austin - quickly turning into a liberal hell hole, Houston - just dumped a lesbian ultra liberal mayor for a black ultra liberal mayor, and was already not a nice place to live...not to mention Dallas and little mexico, I mean San Antonio...

We don’t want ya, stay in New York...you voted for it, now live with it.

The fact that residents of NYC are RENTERS makes this exodus more likely to continue to happen. No worries about trying to sell their house.
