Even the self-absorbed “sorta wealthy” are leaving NY and California. There are lots of financial reasons, but they also finally have realized that as cool as they may think they are, we in fly-over country don’t really care what they think of us. We certainly don’t care what they drive, what they wear, what they read, what they watch, or what they do.
They are like the emperor with no clothes.
This is dangerous, financially, for these states.
In Connecticut, only 100 people are paying 12% of the income tax there? 100 people??
Clearly they are dependent on a handful of high income people. If such people change their residence, that can have a big impact on the state budget.
But they will move to Florida and vote for the same leftist policies that ruined their home states. It’s insane.
