New York's millionaires and billionaires fleeing the city over Zohran Mamdani's mayoral win are settling in an area of Florida they are turning into a mini Big Apple.

With the exception of the palm trees, West Palm Beach is looking a lot like New York these days. A stroll down its main drag offers up familiar-looking luxury high-rises built by New York developers, restaurants run by New York chefs, and many New Yorkers themselves, including Taylor Swift, who lived at a nearby mansion rented by Travis Kelce for the NFL offseason.

“New York’s millionaires and billionaires fleeing the city over Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral win are settling in an area of Florida they are turning into a mini Big Apple.”

The same thing happened to Austin, Texas when many people fled California’s cancerous Government, move to Austin, but brought their liberal politics with them ... now Austin is almost as bad as the California they fled.

They won’t be fleeing to WPB. More likely Jupiter Island.

Don’t permit them to vote for a minimum of five years after arrival, providing time for the mind virus to die.

Not unique to West Palm Beach. The same could be said for Dade and Broward counties. Florida in general and South Florida in particular has always had a lot of transplanted New Yorkers.

The "five families" from New York have wintered in Palm Beach County since the 1950s.

I listened to Rush everyday. Sadly, he was entertaining but never relevant. In the end he knew it.
