If the dumbass NYC folks elect Slick as their Mayor, they will deserve exactly what they get! I have no sympathy, none whatsoever.

Is there an exodus FRom NYC and the state of NY in general? For example, I know that Ann Coulter is moving to Florida because, among other things, she can't smoke there anymore. Any others leaving?

Well, they lost two seats in the House of Representatives due to Congressional reapportionment after the last census with only small population gains against much higher growth in Arizona, Texas, Florida and Georgia. Then the state followed up to lose a net 170,828 residents in moves between states in the period of July 01-Jul 02, according to Census Bureau data. That put New York last among all states in migration from one state to another, both in raw numbers and as a percentage of population.

At the rate they're going, they'll have less representation in the House than Wyoming after the 2020 census! ;)

My husband and I (both native NYers) will be fleeing this state in about 6 years -- as soon as he can retire.

We will sell our house for an obscene profit, take the money, and purchase another home -- probably the house of my dreams. This purchase will take place somewhere other than NY. (Virginia's looking good to me.)

And when we go, so will our parents (they will want to be near the kids).

So yes, others are leaving as well. Six years can't go fast enough for me.
