[Aeran]

Interesting. And yep. My zip code made the list.

In the year since New York became the global epicenter of the COVID-19 crisis, there’s been no shortage of predictions about the impending death of the city, hand-wringing about the new urban obsolescence, and rumors of residents fleeing for idyllic suburban life. But while census figures have shown the city’s population is shrinking — it was before the pandemic, too — there’s been little concrete data about which New Yorkers are leaving, and where they’re going.

A new study from the commercial real estate firm CBRE seeks to fill in some of those gaps. The analysis of 29 million address changes across the country found that New York City saw the second largest increase in net move-outs last year, behind only San Francisco.

Breathe the fresh air, it's awesome! I haven't missed it for one minute.

I contracted COVID-19 in late March, most likely from my local supermarket during that time period when the public was told not to wear masks. I lived in Soundview, in a large complex, my building had 19 floors and 13 apartments on each floor. The amount of ambulances responding to my building on a daily basis was unbelievable. By mid-April, I packed up and left for my family's apartment where I grew up in Hells Kitchen. I figured lower density was better and I was definitely right. Hells Kitchen was deserted, although that would change eventually with the conversion of hotels to shelters.

Months later, I gave up my apartment in the Bronx and stayed here in Manhattan. It really was a ghost town those first few months.

So basically all the filthy dirty left wing nazi white liberals that love to preach diversity and inclusion, and are BIDEN VOTERS...COULDN'T GET OUT OF TOWN AWAY FROM THE DIVERSITY QUICK ENOUGH!

Glad to see real NYers out in NE Queens were among the least likely to move out. Cause we from here.

“The real substantial change was that a small subset of the population — young, affluent, childless urban dwellers — moved dramatically more,” Willett told Gothamist. “About 33 percent of them moved in 2019. That increased by 10 percent in 2020. That's the real driver of these migration patterns.”

You know that's not really a compliment. It means your small-minded and afraid to experience anything other than a neighborhood. Just cuz you're from somewhere doesn't mean you need to stay there your whole life. We live on a big planet with many places to go and see and live. Maybe give it a try since you hate the area you live so much due to the different people living there now.

It would have been interesting being single with some money and 100% remote during this past year even with travel restrictions.

My daughters are finishing up their FUBAR senior year of high school and most of their friends are still around plus my work’s been off and on (currently off) so we couldn’t have moved if we wanted to (nobody really did).

Inclusion and diversity, only fun when the craft-beer-organic-soy-matcha-latte-avocado-toast is open. Otherwise they step away from us peasants, working immigrants and minorities.
And unsurprisingly all the gentrified waterfront Brooklyn and Queens (and most of Manhattan but does it really count anymore?) zip codes.
And the 10804 zip code (the fancy Northern half of New Rochelle, where houses go for $1-million or more), along with Verona, and Montclair, NJ had amongst the most move-ins, that tells you a lot.

[randomperson2]

Meh. There's a lot of young people who cycle through and leave when they can't cut it or think they need a house with a yard for their incoming kids (the definition of Montclair). We got rid of three to five years' worth in one. Also, if you anticipate working from home at least part-time indefinitely, you do need more space. My place is RS but it's on the cusp of being just too small to have an office in the living room, to the point that I'm thinking about whether I'll need to move once my office sorts out its post-pandemic arrangements. So, unsurprising.

"Of the Manhattan residents who recorded moves in 2020, 41% stayed in the borough — compared to just under half in 2019." This actually suggests less departure from Manhattan than I would've expected.

I have a friend with a tech job based in the Bay Area who lived all over US territory over the past year since the work was all remote. From what I can recall, stints of 2-4weeks to up to 2 months in each (through Air BnBs)... Santa Cruz, Washington state (Seattle area), San Francisco, US Virgin Islands, Miami, southwest Florida (Naples area), Atlanta, New Orleans, Texas (Austin/Dallas/San Antonio).
