My grandparents landed in NYC late in 1927 with their three young kids. They lived in the Bronx and worked their tails off. Less than five years later, in the middle of the depression, they moved to a rural hamlet in Westchester County and built a home. People fleeing NYC is nothing new.

My parents moved from Brooklyn to the Nassau County suburbs in 1949.

In 1968, they no longer had a need for a house with three children, and a lawn to take care of. They sold the house and moved to the upper-eastside.

I'm going to keep my house. No way I'd move into Manhattan.

Same with us. There is NO way we are moving to any city. We bought a home in Idaho a couple years ago. We actually doubled our lawn area, went up to two stories from one, and moved to snow country from California. We are nuts.
