Young New Yorkers Fleeing State Over High Taxes, Fewer Jobs

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

ALBANY - Escape from New York is not just a movie - it's also a state of mind.

A new Marist College poll shows that 36% of New Yorkers under the age of 30 are planning to leave New York within the next five years - and more than a quarter of all adults are planning to bolt the Empire State.

The New York City suburbs, with their high property values and taxes, are leading the exodus, the poll found.

Of those preparing to leave, 62% cite economic reasons like cost of living, taxes - and a lack of jobs.

"A lot of people are questioning the affordability of the state," said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion.

An additional 38% cite climate, quality of life, overcrowding, a desire to be closer to family, retirement or schools.

Over one-third is a pretty staggering number, but it's not surprising. The cost of living in NYC or anywhere near it is outrageous. The cost of doing business in the state is incredibly high.

The fact of the matter of is you can achieve a higher standard of living in the southern U.S. for half the cost. That's one of the things that brought me here from Boston, but Boston was far livable than NYC. The future for New York City and State are bleak if they don't get their act together.

On my trip I met and talked to a young woman from Detroit. She was seeking a position of HR manager for Sam;s in Arkansas. She said Detroit is bleeding badly.
Californication is bleeding too.

I hate to break it to you guys, but the cost of living in NY isn't high because of taxes.

It's high because that's how much people will pay to live there.

Detroit is Michigan, not New York. Where the fuck in the South did you go to school?

 

[NYcarbineer]

Every working age New Yorker who leaves the state is one less worker competing for a job there and one more worker competing for a job somewhere else.

Well, tell them to stay the hell out of Florida – jeez; that bastion of Republican Utopianism has even fewer jobs, lower wages, and utterly inferior schools compared to NY – indeed, that’s the case throughout the Republican South.

So ....consider the possibilty that state taxation might not have all that much to do with it.

You don't suppose, do you, that employment opprotunities and quality of life might just play a role is this, do you?

 

[sparky]

the horror!, the horror!.....

Taxes are high as well, but I agree somewhat. Many younger people are moving to Hoboken and Jersey City, NJ because the rent is lower and the commute is easy. Taxes in NJ are still high, but the cost of other living expenses is less than NYC.

Millionaires flee because of high taxes - not necessarily middle income workers. That's happening in NYC and the entire state of NJ. The Carolinas are becoming a sanctuary for those "evil greedy rich folks". I suspect the Southerners welcome them with Southern Hospitality. What a concept.

So the high unemployment rates in the south are a sign of prosperity?

 

[sparky]

Start spreading the news,
Im leaving today
I want no da*m part of it
new yawk, new yawk....

These unemployed shoes,
can't cut it and stay
Right in the libtard heart of it
new yawk, new yawk

I wanna wake up in the country,
full of neocon sheep
And find Im king of the hill
top of the heap

 

[Mr Natural]

That's good news!

Less traffic, shorter lines, and smaller crowds for the rest of us.

If you can't make it here just get the hell out and go down south with the rest of the losers.

Everybody wants to live in civilization, but nobody wants to pay for it.

Myself included, I might add.

Ironically it's the fact that northeasterners are generally so much better educated and smarter than the goobers down in the Land of the Inbred that makes moving south advantageous, from a jobs perspective.

Yeah but Florida has awesome insects and reptiles.
