People are fleeing New York at an alarming rate

More people are leaving the New York region than any other major metropolitan area in the country.

More than 1 million people moved out of the New York area to other parts of the country since 2010, a rate of 4.4 percent — the highest negative net migration rate among the nation’s large population centers, US Census records show.

The number of people leaving the region — which includes parts of New Jersey, Connecticut, the lower Hudson Valley and Long Island — in one year swelled from 187,034 in 2015 to 223,423 in 2016, while the number of international immigrants settling in the tristate area dwindled from 181,551 to 160,324 over the same period, records show.

I'm not fleeing NY , but I may be fleeing the county . a few days back you had a post about these papers being thrown into the streets and everywhere.
I was watching PAC 14 yesterday , the city council meeting about this issue. These people are nuts , all of these adults couldn't come up with a solution to littering . Gregg Basset was in the audience and it appeared as none of them wanted to step on his toes over the issue.
Don't they know it's a law , NO Littering , how hard is that to enforce when you know who is guilty? I had to turn it off , I was so pissed.
Anyway thanks for putting this issue on your blog , I don't expect much will be done by the city or county council , they are in love with Basset .

We fled 20 years ago and haven't looked back. The taxes then were insane, and they're worse now.

Taxation. and it costs more to park a car there than most people pay in rent in most areas.

They are probably fleeing to get away from the liberal Mayors they always seem to have in New York City. They are so stupid they make ridiculous laws to ban sugary drinks and now want to be a sanctuary city. I know they are liberals but when they start telling you what you can eat and drink. This is ridiculous. I am a grown man thank you I will eat and drink what I dam well please. Thank you very much. The government is too big now trying to make all your decisions for you because the liberals think you are to stupid to make your own decisions. That is why they have dumbed down the population through public schools. And this is why we have so many snowflakes today.
