    I was born in the Bronx, raised in Corona & Bayside Queens, then raised my children in Wantagh Long Island. Meanwhile my parents went upstate NY & retired into the Catskill Mountains. By 2019 our property taxes were 16,000 & by the time the '"Summer of love" was underway in all its defund the police glory, we took our conservative asses to the real estate office. By the time NY was demanding masks & Covid vaccine passports in 2021 we said see ya later Libbys. We now reside in BEAUTIFUL, RED SOUTH CAROLINA. Took our adult kids and elder parents with us. We have a few acres, green spaces and LOW taxes. Never going back.

    Born and raised in NYC till I was 40! With two young children cramped up in a 3 bed room apartment, it wasn’t the place to be anymore. We moved down south and it’s probably one of the best decisions I ever made in my life! Life is SOO much better and the quality of life my children now have, could never be matched if we still lived there! Most people don’t know of the world that exists outside of the big city, that’s all they know until they themselves make that move.

    What I find mind boggling is how we reacted as a society after 9/11 ; as opposed to how we handled Covid almost 20 years later. Like night and day. In the former, I was so inspired by our resilience. Especially as a lifelong New Yorker from Long Island. Then the behavior of our ruling class, and their minions who allowed themselves to be brainwashed into voting for and supporting these self-destructive ideas during COVID was devastatingly dsillusional.

    Go look at how much a house costs in a 20 mile radius from the city. In a neighborhood where the schools are awful and you’ll need to pay high property taxes and private school. They also want to implement “congestion pricing” where they’ll charge essentially a $5000 tax for you to commute to the city even if you’re on a motorcycle. They’re taxing you at every turn in New York. My salary is high compared to the national average and in the past 5 years it’s hardly a middle class cost of living with my wife working full time. I’ll be honest idk how the lower wage people in this City are getting by. The gas, groceries, real estate, just essentials are insane. Meanwhile honest people are getting assaulted and even killed on a train ride home.

The crime has always been bad around in Miami, Tampa, Jacksonville, and some sketchy rural areas; but the cost of housing, home owner's insurance, and property taxes are skyrocketing. Florida is a Red State with cost of living expenses rising way too fast. Where are people supposed to go? Unfortunately for many, the jobs are in the urban metro areas. I don't like it; but that's the way it is.

      Yep: I’m from SWFL and the cost of living where I’m from in Cape Coral and Fort Myers is becoming insane.. Also live in Middle TN Clays neck of the woods it’s the same thing.. This migration of people to Red States is insane and unsustainable. The infrastructure is not here to handle the traffic. Period. Especially Spring Hill where I live. All these people that sold there overpriced bubble shithole in Cali, Illinois, NY or Michigan and bought an overpriced bubble 650K-1,000,000 dollar 2800-4700 sq Ft home here don’t give a shit though. Until there’s no one to wait on you, change your oil, fix your car or ac, bag your groceries, deliver your food, etc. All the servitude jobs the upper middle wanna be high class look down on yet use and don’t like to pay for or value. But again the only jobs actually providing a service. Lol funny how screwed up this country is.

    I live two hours north of Manhattan in the Hudson Valley and it’s become awful to live here. Born and raised in the same small town that was once bucolic and peaceful. The first wave of NYC transplants was right after 9/11. New developments and apartment complexes sprung up. The transplants also brought their blue votes upstate. That was the first wave. The summer of 2020 and since has seen the second wave of transplants and this time is truly awful. The housing market is upside down, locals have been forced out of the market if not out of state. But just as bad or worse, all of these transplants moved here again and brought their liberal votes. Suddenly we now have two Democrat Socialist of America legislators in our county, protests of every social Justice cause, crime is way up due to bail reform and discovery law changes. This once quaint quiet area in a most beautiful valley sucks now. Large swaths of forest are gone, replaced by insanely priced tract housing developments and insanely high priced “luxury living” apartment complexes. Traffic is choking the local roads. But by far the worst is that, like locusts, they flee the big city because their votes destroyed their quality of life. So they move here and destroy this area too. I’ll never understand their thought process. I am trapped in NYS. Mỹ parents are aging and my career is here.

      I wouldn't put all the blame on the transplants, but I did notice a lot of transplants started moving to the city in the early to mid 2010's. And at the same time, the social justice warrior trend started around that same time as well. Maybe it was a coincidence since it was happening all across the country, but native New Yorkers would've never allowed that.

DeSantis originally shut down access to FL during the early part of Covid and turned away cruise ships rhat had sick people that wanted dock in the state. FLORIDA was less restricive but honestly, in Tampa, people kept their distance regarless and a lot of folks were outside, bike riding and exercising. You could not find a bike to purchase. But we also dont have subways nor the same dense areas, but Miami was out of control. Another thing is people left other states, came here, and the prices of real estate and rent in Tampa and St Pete are outrageous.

    Just as accurate to say, “taxes aren’t safe, cost of living isn’t safe, prices aren’t safe”
    “Safe” is an idea that people fall into a rut of misunderstanding and focus on crime or weather because they are conditioned to respond to ‘fear input’ to determine “safe” as if safe is a viable antonym for ‘fear’ so they become unable to make good decisions for themselves. Basically they’ve become phobic to risk because of fear conditioning, therefore to be safe is a risk because freedom sounds “risky.”

      My only guess is that its a good gig these days to have an opinion on social media.

    It depends on what part of NY. I live in the Adirondack Mountains. It is very conservative up here and focuses heavily on family and community. However, the city dictates everything for the whole state, even though it is half the population of the state. We need some legislative separation, but not a complete one as we heavily rely on their taxes

      @@mistermonsieur2924 I've been working in US NY for 25 years and it has gotten increasingly more depressing. I've seen a lot of small businesses close. Unfortunately, that seems to be the problem everywhere. I would say it's been worse in US NY, but that could just be that I'm there more than say rural Vermont. I was just out in Indianna - Decatur area for a few weeks and it pretty much looked like there was more business now than it did 17 years ago when I lived/worked out there. Not too many boarded up businesses. I would say in general the mid west has much less run down dilapidated businesses/houses/buildings than US NY. It sucks US NY is one of my most favorite places to work. The people are nice, I've met a lot of people throughout the years I consider friends, there's lots for me to do.
      My exposure to US NY is the corridor south of 90 from Utica to Buffalo. Just above the Finger Lakes. I never get above Brewerton. I've worked in NYC a few times. Just finished a project in Red Hook (Brooklyn). Ehh if I never see NYC again I'd be ok with that. Just not my thing.
      Take care.

      @@Elkmonger I grew up north of there. I've been to every place you've mentioned. As you note, times are about tougher up there in terms of income, jobs, business. That's what makes the people more down to earth. The whole state outside of NYC is a beautiful place. Unfortunately, NYC and the out of touch politics it generates in Albany lords over the regular folks of upstate. On multiple occasions the governor told the masses they weren't real new yorkers if they didn't share certain progressive NYC values. They made millions of upstate residents criminals over night in 2013. They are completely out of touch with the ethos and needs of people outside of NYC. They are prostitutes for the money handled in NYC while they take upstate water and send their refuse all over the place. Every once in a while they spin up an upstate jobs PR campaign and it turns out to be a dismal shadow of their promise that gets cut short or turns to political folly. The return of Nestle, the cleanup of Onondaga lake, now the microchip plant.
      All of NY state could be a true powerhouse. Instead it's been relegated to a rat infested city that exists mainly on shuffling accounts and stock trades surrounded by a deindustrialized and forlorn mostly rural buffer zone.
      The rich farmland, abundant freshwater resources, struggling workforce, vacant commerical property, and ideally situated highway system could all be leveraged into a highly competitive and successful polity going into the future. Unfortunately, no one seems to care enough beyond enforcing their social policies while the infrastructure crumbles.
