The 1990's exodus to other states from California and from the Northeast appears to have eased since 2000, but not in metropolitan New York, a Census Bureau analysis says.

You have a friend?
Not me. I don't want to pi$$ off my neighbors. I moved here to get away from NY and NYers. I didn't want to bring it with me. Otherwise, what would be the sense of leaving? The folks here have been absolutely wonderful to me and some have taken me in as family. I'm a lucky guy to have the neighbors I do.
There's talk of a high speed rail line running from Delaware Water Gap (the town) to NYC. If that's built, NE PA will become NYC lite.
Shoulda bought that land in the Poconos. :-)
