New York, New York – it’s a wonderful town —
The taxes are up, and the liberty’s down.
New York, New York!
It’s a wonderful town!

“The best known line of this song is, “New York, New York, a helluva town. The Bronx is up but the Battery’s down.” For the film version, the word “helluva” was changed to “wonderful” to appease the Production Code offices.”

The original words appear to be more accurate these days.

I always have to laugh at those commercials that New York state runs every once in awhile on TV, about how great a place the state of New York is for a business to move to or to start up in.

Yeah, right!

I think somewhere along the line “millionaire” stopped meaning someone worth a million and started meaning someone who makes a million a year. Heck, by the old standards I’m a millionaire. I sure don’t feel like a millionaire!

If the rich Dems moving out would realize that it was their stupid Dem policies that turned their nice places to live into excessively taxed places to flee from, maybe they would change.
But most don’t.
Because the dumb Dem policies have “good intentions”, and too much culture today supports intentions over results.
Magic thinking over reality.
So, so sad.

RE: “If you own any real estate in New York, you can cash out and live like a king elsewhere.”
Only if you get out now.

How does New York collapse? Slowly at first; than all at once.

RE: Geoffrey: “They flee to preserve their money and bring their politics and political support with them.”
Absolutely. Leftists turn their cities/states into sh!tholes, move to decent places, and turn their new homes into sh!tholes. Rinse and repeat. I’d like to see leftists stay and clean up their mess. but that never happens.

I see these stories often, where wealthy flee the high tax localities for cheaper pastures. But their homes are always bought by other millionaires who don’t mind paying those taxes.
The real population reductions come from the lower middle classes, who leave out of necessity. Their former middle class neighborhoods become ghettos.

But this is how you get wealthy states…a bunch of millionaires and their servant class. Little in between. It looks good on paper, to the tax collectors.

Bubbles burst, these millionaires discovered they can buy croissants for a $1.49 apiece at Dunkin in other States. Thus must crusty, buttery delicious information flow — fleeing, fleeting: now to, now fro.

“Unfortunately, Colorado is headed in the same direction.”

We already got there.
