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.
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.

Not only that, but when we northeasterners get ready to hang it up and move to warmer climes, we can sell our "overpricecd" homes and move into an upscale neighborhood somewhere in gooberville and have plenty of money left over.
New Yorkers go south to run businesses; Southerners come north to run carnivals.
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.
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.
Millionaires flee because of high taxes - not necessarily middle income workers.
Anti-tax advocates contend that higher taxes on the wealthy lead to millionaire flight. They say this has been seen in Maryland, Rhode Island, New Jersey and New York. The rich are mobile, they say. They can take their money, taxes and jobs wherever they are treated best.
But a new study focusing on New Jersey provides some of the most detailed evidence yet that so-called millionaire taxes have little effect on the movements of millionaires as a whole.
The study, by sociologists Cristobal Young at Stanford and Charles Varner at Princeton, studied the migration patterns of New Jerseys millionaires before and after 2004, when the state imposed a millionaires tax that raised rates on those earning $500,000 or more to 8.97% from 6.37%.
The study found that the overall population of millionaires increased during the tax period. Some millionaires moved out, of course. But they were more than offset by the creation of new millionaires.
The study dug deeper to figure out whether the millionaires who were moving out did so because of the tax. As a control group, they used New Jersey residents who earned $200,000 to $500,000in other words, high-earners who werent subject to the tax. They found that the rate of out-migration among millionaires was in line with and rate of out-migration of submillionaires. The tax rate, they concluded, had no measurable impact.
This suggests that the policy effect is close to zero, the study says.

Yeah but Florida has awesome insects and reptiles.
Everybody wants to live in civilization, but nobody wants to pay for it.
Myself included, I might add.

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.

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.

California is bankrupt because some 30 years ago the state legislature cowardly abdicated its taxing authority to the people big mistake.
