I'm not saying that this is the case here but it seems to me that people who think no other place offers what NYC does have never lived any ware else. I am not saying visiting, I am saying live for an extended period of time. I have lived in many parts of the world and the US and I can say that there are lot's of places that have more then what NYC offers. it also depends on what you treasure most. For a young person into nightlife, inspiring artist, inspiring broker etc.. there is no doubt that NYC is the best place to be. Now for someone who wants to raise a family in a nice quite neighborhood where the neighbors mingle, kids mingle, don't have to worry about putting your alarm at night then you definitely have better places. Granted you can have the same in NYC but you will have to pay much much more for a house in such an area. I love NYC, that's why I visit at least every other month but I would not want to raise my daughter in either of the five boroughs or LI. Now if I made in excess of 200K then maybe I would. Just my 2 cents
That a reasonable statement arangoa...but you should know that it is just HARDER to raise families in NYC..it does not take $200K a year...and there are plenty of working/middle class families that are raising great kids,in great neighborhoods throughout NYC. Nevertheless, I liked the article....I can't say that I know less people leaving, as in my community there is always a steady stream of people aspiring to something else....but I can agree with the article. I want to be sure to be counted in the next census!

Just remember that a lot of times when some of us New Yorkers make these kinds of comments, we do it with tongue in cheek. It's not always dead seriousness (sometimes, but not always).

The migration numbers are interesting, but they don't say who is choosing not to migrate. Losing people who were born here and losing people who moved here are two different things. The most interesting part of the article is the broader trend: migration to cheap, sunbelt cities is down.
I lived in NYC and then moved to Las Vegas where I still reside.
