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.

Who, in their right mind, would WANT to help pay for New York's.....

.....crumbling-infrastructure??!!!!

(...Or, any city, in the Northeast, for that matter?)

Where are the short-term profit$, right, Republicans????​

New Yorkers pay more in federal taxes than we get back in federal spending. It's mostly the inbreds south of the Mason Dixon line who are on the teat.

 

[GoneBezerk]

Yeah dumbfuck, the south is so bad in that it is growing in population and technology while NY is going backwards.

FYI....more people have died for this country from those "inbred" areas than NY full of assholes like you that have done nothing for this country.

They are pricing the poor out of the slums to move wealthier people in.

As a source of tax revs leaves you have to raise taxes, forcing more people to leave.

Soon NY and especially NYC will be the haves and government workers.

The Rich are already fleeing as well. I think it was either NY State or NYC that passed a millionaire Tax expecting big Revenue Increases. Only so many of the Millionaires simply left they actually caused Revenue to drop. Classic, and clear example of how Increasing Revenue is not simply a matter of increasing Taxes.

You should consider reading an entire thread – from the beginning – before posting:

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 Jersey’s millionaires before and after 2004, when the state imposed a “millionaire’s 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 $500,000–in other words, high-earners who weren’t 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.

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.

Cali is doing more than just bleeding........Liberal policies are killing this great state.

No, they are not. When you live in a state and have experienced first hand what the fuck is going on, no links are necessary.

When you live in a state where you are taxed to death on most everything due to liberal taxation, no links are necessary.

When you live in a state where liberal enacted insane enviromental regulations are killing business, no links are necessary.

When you see some of the most fertile farmland in the country, the Central Valley, having their water cut off, and seeing family farms go under in droves because of a ridiculous liberal policy to protect a stupid fish that can be just as easily farm raised, no links are necessary.

When you see businesses fleeing the state in droves due to an unfriendly liberal business environment, no links are necessary.

When you see small and large trucking companies, and independent truckers being forced out of business due to ridiculous liberal regulations at L.A. area ports (try and drive a truck over 10 years old in them, you are turned away), no links are necessary.

When you see liberal supported Public Employee Unions raping cities and counties with unsustainable pay and benefits, no links are necessary.

When you've witnessed a liberal dominated legislature for many years turn the worlds seventh largest economy int a third world economy, no links are necessary.

When you watch a liberal dominated population continually and foolishly elect liberal politicians, year after year, who do nothing but make bad decisions and enact asinine liberal legislation that kills this state, no links are necessary.

I think you are incorrect, WJ

As we are discussing STATISTICAL OUTCOMES about an entire population, then statistical evidence is necessary to support any POV.

LOL......indeed.........it was New York and it was the last lefty governor here......Patterson......and what did the state do? Voted in an even further left guy in Cuomo!!!

I love the comments about New York by the lefty dolts living in Scratchmyassville and Bumfook.

My state is the TAKER capital of the world. The real Americans are fleeing in droves. Progressive public policy for the gay.

My future and the future of my kids willl be in Texas. I love this state but its turning into a snake pit just like California.

 

[Sallow]

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.

Yes and no.

When the city and state coffers revenues get low..because of unemployment..they hit people that own apartments or land with high taxes. But upstate grabs a lion's share of the revenue generated by NYC. Which makes no sense whatsoever.
