I thought it was the high price of newsprint.
We left Chappaqua about the same time the Clintons moved in. The property taxes on a nice house (4 bed, 2.5 bath) was $14,000 5 years ago...that is more than I spend on my mortgage in Pennsylvania...the taxes and cost of housing are outrageous
illegally.There, I fixed it.
The South is a far freer, better place than the North. I was born in Illinois and lived in Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin before moving to Tennessee in 1987 and pesonally know whereof I speak.
TAX BURDEN ........
Gas/fuel, food, school , property, VAT sales tax, tolls / commute time,.... an endless list.
Those are IMMIGRANTS. I guess for the P.C. that's a dirty word. There's no mention of the 11 million ILLEGAL immigrants and where they are living.
Cost of housing seems to be a problem for New York, but not California? Hmmm, housing costs are VERY high in California.
San Francisco is growing....not shrinking and our housing costs are stupidly high.
I'm not sure the all facts are correct here.
The last time I was there, I saw enough "Kerry / Edwards" signs and bumperstickers to make me want to leave too.

It's quite a shock.
Pike County is a county located in the state of Pennsylvania. As of 2000, the population is 46,302. Its county seat is Milford. Pike County is considered the most western edge of the Greater New York area surrounding New York City. Pike County is the fastest growing county in the state of Pennsylvania.
Midwest is still losing residents
Thats ok with me..........as long as it is liberals leaving.
It is like that here in NM. It has always been a poor state, mainly agri-business and federal (military), but now, since Californians have been moving in, prices started going way up for housing. And now, people from the NE are moving here, causing a spike in prices like no other. The cities are growing, as are the towns, but most of the places don't have enough water to support a much higher population, that is the problem (I welcome the business, the area is booming).
I'm surprised to see that more peole are moving out of the state than moving in. We are being flooded with immigrants frmo SE Asia, Somalia and Mexico. Our cold weather certainly does cause many, especially retirees to move south, but the general gain in population is higher than all the surrounding states in the midwest.
The Twin Cities and the belt between Rochester, Mpls-StP, and St. Cloud is growing by leaps and bounds.
Bucking a regional trend, more people moved into the state (WI) in recent years than left it

I'm in central New Jersey. Prices here continue to rise, slow in some areas, faster in others but still going up.
The house next door sold for $395,000 less than two years ago. A similar house four doors down just sold for $450,000 and the one behind me (slightly larger) just sold for $560,000. My home was appraised at $400,000 two months ago and yesterday a friend of mine who is in real estate said I could expect to get at least $430,000 if I sold this spring or summer.
It's crazy.
Taxes, but they won't admit it.
the headline barely fits the article, and the word TAX appears nowhere in the text. jeez.
The population loss for the state of New York is Upstate - because there aren't enough decent jobs. Housing costs aren't the reason for the flight of people from Upstate - they're pretty reasonable. A house that's assessed at $130k in a decent Rochester suburb would probably be assessed at double that elsewhere in the country. The problem is high taxes and high unemployment.
Hence the saying around here - Buffalo's a great place to live, if you already have a good job.
I believe it. I see more and more out of state plates from some of these states noted in the article down here looking for houses in my neighborhood.
