Residents in major U.S. cities like New York and San Francisco have started to leave in droves due to various factors, including the lack of jobs during the coronavirus pandemic, technology and a potential increase in violent crime, according to a column posted on Monday.
Large cities were already hurting before the pandemic. Now, statistics from Indeed, an employment-related search engine, have shown that major U.S. metropolitan areas have seen a greater rise in employment and a larger percentage of job loss compared to smaller metros, according to a piece by Noah Smith, a columnist at Bloomberg.
Data from Indeed found that job postings in New York City over the past year have decreased by 36.4 percent, while San Francisco and Portland have seen their postings plunge by 38.5 and 33.5 percent, respectively.

How many points of entry and egress are there on Staten Island?
What would it take to block them in terms of manpower and material? Remember, if they cant get in, YOU cant get out.
How long could a dedicated team of residents secure those points using only the resources found on the island?
These are serious questions, my friend. And you better be thinking about them and coming up with answers.
Best of luck,

I wouldn’t bet on that. Democrats are delusionally blaming antifa/blm/looter violence on “white supremacists.”
I live in Texas . My realtor friend has been putting contracts on homes that have only been seen online . People from New York and Washington .
That was a good find.. Interesting..
Charging almost four times as much to rent a 26foot U-haul truck to go from NY to FL than to go from FL to NY is strong free market evidence of what is desirable these days.
They are already taking the same route as Detroit. They were never that great of places to live anyway. The downside is that the idiots who voted these places into oblivion are transporting their moron beliefs to states that are normal. Just a slower march to idiocracy spanning this year of living stupid.
No one really ran against the jackass he pretty much won by apathy
I generally dont like to comment on peoples look, but that woman is Ugly. 👎
Yeah, but they pack their liberal values in the moving van too. Too bad there couldn’t be some sort of deed covenant to prevent that.
I live in southern NH. Houses are going within a couple days of being listed. Especially in coastal communities like Rye, NH on the Atlantic Ocean. The low end in Rye is $400K now for a fixer upper. Ocean front starts around $2.5 Million. Someone just listed one for $6.5 million.
However, even houses up north of the White Mountains are getting bought quickly because they are still under $300K with acreage.
Governor Sununu wrote about the influx of New Yorkers specifically into NH just recently. The mass exodus from NYC is affecting everywhere.
In addition the Governor spoke about the fact that about 90K people from NH work in Mass. However, for the last several months and potentially the rest of 2020 many of them are now working from their home in NH. Yet, they continue to pay MASS income tax of 5%. Why should this continue? This could be the next shoe to drop against NYC, MA and other states/cities where residents of other adjacent states are now working from home.
Yes, both are ugly, inside and out, and evil too.
Poor Texas. About to be invaded by more locusts.
Yep. I manage a self storage just outside of Tacoma. For the past 2 months, every uhaul I get is immediately reserved, headed one way out of state. Usually to Idaho or Montana. Way more trucks headed out than headed in. I’ve had customers tell me they can’t handle the lib lunacy anymore.
Same dynamic in Seattle. Markets insane not just outside Seattle but outside of King County.
