Seriously. Many of the Koch era people are already dead.

The others all moved out quite sometime ago. By 2013 one could no longer win an election on a Giuliani/Bloomberg platform.

Weakening the rent control laws got rid of a lot of working class white people. There’s no way if you cannot pay.

At least you get to cash out good Hope you buy someplace real nice in your dream location should decide to do the same.

Land in upstate NY or PA is really cheap. You could buy yourself an old farm and hunt on it. If you kill wild boar, barbecue the meat and save some for money.

I’ve eaten deer too. And squirrel and rabbit.

The Koch-Giuliani-Bloomberg coalition of middle class whites.

Why are some of their children and grandchildren staying in the city?

Neighborhoods change over time. On SI many of the 'old school' people are selling for top dollar to nice quiet hard-working Chinese-American families. That's a natural change unlike the 'white flight' of the 1960s and 1970s which was a reaction to the decay and crime brought into previously stable areas by the new minority residents. Controversial to say but sadly true. deBlasio can't be happy about the growth of the Asian-American population. More and more they vote like the conservative 'old school' folks whose homes they bought.

If you don’t understand why people are leaving in droves, then you need to stay in your bubble with your pet unicorns.

Same reason people are fleeing the entire state


High taxes, high tolls, unfriendly business regulations, anti gun laws, special interests have to much power ( see Ramapo, NY.... Palm Tree, NY). Yet you have a governor that acknowledges the mass exodus and blames it on the weather....

A non-stop cry for money from corrupt useless politicians that don’t solve anything. Cuomo, DeBlasio, Schumer, Gillibrand, NYC Council, Heastie, Letitia James,etc...)

Don’t forget the above named scumbag’s predecessors ( too many to list, many are serving prison time or did)


No area is perfect, but it is better then NYS unfortunately.





I left NY and it was the best thing I ever did

I'm glad you're going to miss us when we're all gone. Wait until you get a load of the Chinese. You're quickly going to realize us ethnic whites weren't as bad as you thought we were. Try crying "racism" to the Chinese. Let's see how far it gets you. I think you're going to miss us more than you'd like to admit.

Gotta agree with this one. The cost of living in NYC is simply rocket high. If I had the choice, I would leave NYC as well.

We will probably have wild boar in NY soon. Rumors are around that we already have some. I just saw some in NC last week while hunting deer.

They have been leaving for decades now. They have been going into NJ, LI, Westchester. And now people in those places are moving out of state.

People want new opportunities, greener pastures, cheaper living.
