Thx for this great article. It really is eye opening. So instead of rejecting the leftist policies that have dominated and destroyed the state for decades causing businesses and wealth to flee in mass the people have chosen to double down. My family will be leaving and taking our high income jobs and businesses with us. Have Cuomo, AOC, Schumer or Deblasio learned how to print money yet? They will need that skill because real wealth is running out of NY. Personally, we will leave this state for the crooks and welfare addicts. When Carl Heastie is a "conservative" it's time to flee. BTW does anyone think he or anyone else in that position is less corrupt than Sheldon Silver? It's not the person it's the position, it breeds corruption and you literally cannot hold the position and be honest.
Great commentary. I'm actually a bit curious if or why we haven't seen official "left" caucuses formed in either the senate or assembly. I don't think it'd make a huge difference with legislating but would make it a bit clearer the power balance, cause Heastie already saw a 1/4 of the dems vote down the last budget and the handful of leftists added in 2020 will only make that a harder conference to wield.
With remote work taking off it is going to be a lot easier for companies and people to move out of the state. Look at what is happening to CA and to Illinois.
Texas is booming. Florida is booming again. Low taxes and business friendly.
Just on my team alone, I have had people move to Austin and to south Florida.
In fact, my company is closing their offices in the city and going to a hoteling model with small satellite locations or colocated agreements in places that our staff wants to live. GENERALLY, our staff like warm places with a low cost of living and low taxes.
NY aint sexy anymore. It feels old, tired and desperate. There is no need to physically be there anymore or Boston or LA or Chicago either.
These fools in the capital are going to just make it that much more appealing to those who can to leave the state. Those who get out early, before property values start to really drop will benefit most. Right after that will be people who rented. The group left holding the bag are going to be those who could not sell their property for what they needed to get out. That last group is going to either have to rein in the legislature, pay a much higher tax burden or due with dramatically lower government services.
All I can say is that I am SO grateful that I got out way ahead of the crowd. My taxes are so much lower, the cost to live is so much lower, the weather is so much nicer. There is plenty of work.
Hate to say it, but it would surprise me not at all to see NY reach a point where they have to pay people to move into the state the way that some midwest states are doing now. Even then, they would need to cut taxes dramatically.

God help New York.
