Well many of them voted (if they bothered to vote) for the same elected officials that have allowed the neighborhoods to become overrun with crime, homeless, mentally ill, drug addicts, sex offenders, filth etc.

I agree. I was just responding (sarcastically, I admit) to someone who felt this was just another liberal-bashing thread and that there were many other reasons these people might be leaving NYC (not).

There has been no state more adversely affected than Florida, by the NY/NJ exodus. Miami/Dade county is like NYC, Ft. Lauderdale/Broward County is like NJ and Palm Beach county is like Long Island.

All three are now blue. These good folks left the NE for a better life and just couldn't help themselves before they began 'beaching' about everything.

Thank God I don't live in neither of those 3 counties, but they have changed the political status of my home state from solid red to purple. I'm afraid Texas is next, as the influx of Californians is becoming worse than illegal immigration, from south of the border.

Can't you just fix your states? please

Thinly veiled? We're saying it flat out. Lol

Honestly, I can 100% deal with that even if it is a direct correlation.

I'm very over living in a lefty-controlled area. If my damned ex would tell me what her future plans are, my house would be on the market right now.

I live in Morris County which is also red. NJ did elect Chris Christie for 2 terms. If you do take Essex County (Newark) out of the state its a pretty red.

Have you taken a look at the state legislators?
What conservative policies are they pushing through?. It is not pretty red. Booker and menendez are not pretty red. The nj courts are not pretty red. The AG is not pretty red. There are pockets sure, but it’s pretty blue.

Ah yes, fear. Fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear. If someone doesn't like your political views, it must be because of fear. How about a bunch of people from Mississippi move to where you live, and try to turn it into Mississippi? How would you like that?
