More residents escaped from New York over the last year than from any other state, according to estimates released by the U.S. Census Bureau on Tuesday.

Some 126,355 people high-tailed it out of the Empire State between July 2019 and July 2020, a dip of 0.65 percent, the preliminary figures show.

New York has been losing locals since 2016, but the most recent drop was significantly larger than in years past.

[[NY leads nation in population drop,]]

Gee- whatever could be the reason? Oh yeah- Executive orders banning lifesaving drugs, and sending sick infected people into nursing homes- plus driving everyone out by taxing the snot out of them during a pandemic no less- AFTER shutting them down for several months now

Yaaaa, New York can lose two or three seats for all I care, so long as Cuomo loses his ass, too.

We don’t need more liberals in Charleston, Myrtle Beach and Georgetown. Unless they change the way the vote they need to go elsewhere.

True....but maybe they’re more conservative and just getting out of the rat holes? Time will tell.

Time will tell.

Charleston has already been taken over by the Democrats and SC house district 1 is now a toss-up which we just took back by a slim margin, thanks to DJ Trump.

These knuckleheads keep moving down here, they crab about how backward we are, and keep voting for the same $#!t they just escaped from.

Yup. It’s a big reason I decided against moving to Bend, as much as I absolutely love it there. I have enough issues with the SF Tards here where I am.

As Obama pointed out “elections have consequences.” Yes when you elect crazy Democrats, people with option move away.

This is a lesson that Seattle, Portland, and the Tech Centers in California are all learning.

Right now, in WA state Democrats and their progressive buddies are wanting to impose an income tax. They have tried for years and each time it gets shot down. Now they have come up with the idea of a Capital Gains tax. They want to add 9% tax to all capital gains over $50,000 and exempt some of the obvious ways it can hurt most people.

People won's squeal too badly as long as the federal capital gains tax is 15% as the 15%+9% on capital gains taxes is close to the 25% federal income tax bracket that most of the richer people would pay anyway. Except it will discourage Venture capital investment, which is very important to this state. It will also encourage others to move their investment accounts to other states with more favorable tax treatment and maybe establish snow-bird homes in those states. Those snow bird homes could become permanent very easily, which is probably part of the problem with NY.

For some reason Cuomo doesn’t care. He’s watching CNN around the clock & they keep saying he’s great.

The comment about Covid leading to slow population growth in the US is false. Per the CDC, through November 15 the number of daily deaths this year is tracking the growth in daily deaths per year in the last 10 year period. In other words, the number of daily deaths this year is what was to be expected.
