This has not been the case for like... ever. Majority of the people who leave NY never come back. That is why NY has a net demographic domestic migration loss literally every year, and especially with the states like FL. In fact, in most years NY is a loss leader in the whole country when it comes to domestic migration, even worse than IL.
The only reason why our population is still barely growing is babies and international immigration.
If you’re referring to upstate north of Westchester and Rockland, I would agree with you. I don’t believe that rule apples to NYC and the surrounding burbs. Upstate NY has been neglected for so long. I don’t live upstate yet, but perhaps someone can speak to the investments that Cuomo made to attract businesses there. I believe the capital region in particular has benefited from greater investment.
Also, the US pop is aging. So it makes more sense that more people are heading down to FL to retire. That’s why the 65+ aren’t leaving because FL is the final destination for them. But for younger, working folks who jetted down to FL to escape NY, I do believe they will return as global warming, in particular, takes its toll on the state. Think about it: a glacier the size of Florida is about to raise sea levels by over 10 feet in a few years.

NYC, Long Island, Westchester is 60-70% of state GDP
You forgot to mention a big portion of those people are retired seniors hence Florida being the oldest state age wise lol.
And I believe the real deal is focusing on white collared professionals. Not sure the real deal cares about a family who main source of income is from Target. As far as white collared professionals I don’t know much in NYC who have Florida on their mind unless they are getting a second home. Actually all my rich friends have a second home in Florida but still live in nyc/hamptons

I'd bet dollars to donuts that you don't know many "white collared professionals" and know even fewer people with homes out in the Hamptons lol.
