New York has 15 billion dollar deficit, while tax revenue skyrocketing in Idaho, South Dakota, Nebraska (unemployment, legal)

[lovecrowds]

Looks like it's time for NY to raise those taxes again for those third-world services that Cuomo offers his states citizens.

It's incredible that in America there is the worst pandemic in a century and Idaho, Nebraska and South Dakota rapidly grow the economy so much that there is a windfall of tax revenue into their states trasuries.

Nebraska and South Dakota kept their economies open and even during a pandemic 3% Unemployment.

I hear lots of Californians moving to Idaho. Population growth will always increase tax base. But I never hear about Omaha or Nebraska. What is going on in Nebraska? More conservatives fleeing there?

Nebraska is a fairly slow growing state on population. It seems like a large number of inviduals who move to Nebraska are moving from Council Bluffs, Iowa to Omaha, Nebraska.

Nebraska is a very insular state. It is an extremely high quality state overall but a vast majority are from there and many of those who are from out of state are from Iowa.

Nebraska does many things very well but I can't imagine people going to there and it being "love at first sight" like with Idaho. I have read in articles many go to Boise from larger cities and it's "love at first sight" and it's there mission to move there because it is such a surprise with the scenery and the downtown which has had dozens of articles profiling it in multiple tourism magazines for years and years.

Boise likely has a large percentage of the population who are not from Idaho and are looking for new social networks and like to discover new amenities in their new city.

Omaha is an excellent metropolitan area but it is a very insular area. Omahans even if older seem to spend weekends with family and close-friends they grew up with many times decades earlier.

Omaha is a wonderful city and they it is the an extremely community oriented city with extremely charitable people that works together like no where else I have resided but one can live in Omaha a long time and still not be an Omahan because the locals tend to have lots of family in the area and they have their social networks full with friends they grew up with.

I actually think it is wonderful that many Plains states will never have the widespread appeal of the Mountain West.

The states on the Great Plains region are very underrated and lots of excellent, simple, quiet small and medium sized cities in several different states.

Idaho like all states in the Mountain West except for Wyoming has had a huge influx from other states.

Much of Nebraska has green rolling hills much of the year which is very nice, but generally doesn't have the widespread appeal of Idaho's mountains.

I remember several years ago it seemed like lots of articles about "best places" seem to be about Boise. Seemed like one best city list after another would have articles on Boise and the downtown, nature, tree canopy over much of the city even though it is a relatively dry.


Nebraska had 5% population growth in 9 years while Idaho had 14%.

Hey look, it's Lovecrowd's weekly thread misinterpreting data!

Sioux falls south Dakota is growing extremely fast. A lot of development on the NW side of town including a large amazon distribution facility ... Legal pot and no state income tax...we have to be careful about letting too many lefties in here. The last thing we want is to end up like the other states who have a state income tax and all these regulations on everything...fortunately it takes a 2/3 supermajority to pass a tax increase here.

Come here knowing what to expect....don't come here expecting to turn this state into another overtaxed, overregulated liberal "utopia"... Move to Minnesota if you want that.

This is why Schumer is so vocal on bringing back limitless SALT deductions. The cap was supposed to shame high-tax states into curbing spending and trying lower taxes. Instead it just became a talking point for the leaders there to ***** about the feds while pushing through ridiculous programs and inefficient, wasteful government.

You really can't compare New York's economy, which was rankled 10th in the world in 2018, to small states.

Maybe the feds will start taxing red states to transfer welfare payments back to blue states.

Is it just rural South Dakotans moving to the city? Sioux Falls is pretty close to Minneapolis, and Omaha.
