People are fleeing New York at an alarming rate
[NYPOST] 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 another part 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 colonists settling in the tri-state area dwindled from 181,551 to 160,324 over the same period, records show.

The nation’s economy is improving, there are more jobs in cheaper places to live, and retirees are choosing to move to warmer climates, experts say.

"The historical trend is that out migration grows when economy is getting better," said Empire Center for Public Policy research director E.J. McMahon.

"As the economy gets better there are more jobs outside the region and by the same token . . . more people to buy your house if you’re a baby boomer looking to move to Boca Raton or Myrtle Beach."

Rick: Now, you've got to listen to me! You have any idea what you'd have to look forward to if you stayed here? Nine chances out of ten, we'd both wind up in a concentration camp. Isn't that true, Louie?

#1 Lose water in a city like New York and you will have to evacuate the city in 3 days. Place is a death trap.

#2 But so far only a couple of Trumps have made the move south, though perhaps Melania and Barron will follow later.

#3 What is alarming about it?
I'm quite happy and cozy with my new New York neighbors.
What do they need with that city anyways?

They vote bad here, and I will put them on trains back to your idiot liberal - high taxed concentration camp.

#4 Damned leftist immigrant bastards bringing their culture with them won't assimilate local nuances.

#6 the lore is that former NYers move to the E coast of Florida while former Chicagoans, Clevelanders, etc. move to the Florida west coast

is that true?

#8 The last 5 or 6 years my area of Tennessee has seen an influx of retirees coming from New York and Pennsylvania. For the most part they have "assimilated". There are some, however, who miss "how we do stuff back home". The other retirees tell them to go back home, they came here to escape back home.

#9 Who has been running New York since 2010? Running the COuntry? We've been told the economy is great again and again but I'm guessing the people moving aren't moving because of extra wealth to by homes in the suburbs as Mr McMahon suggests. I'm guessing folks can't afford rents any longer and are moving where they hope to find a job, or moving back in with the parents.

#10 I remember in California back in the 1970's it seemed like every other car had New York or New Jersey license plates. There were all these people running around who got the letter "r" in the wrong places when they spoke and forgot to use it where it belonged. Back in those days California was a red state. Not anymore.

#11 Abu Uluque points out the saddest part of migration. Too many folks leave their own failed state (or nation state) and then try to recreate the very things that caused that failure (be it liberalism or Islam).

We need the melting pot back in all ways.

As evidenced by the increasing number of California license tags in Georgia.

#14 I've seen a bunch of CA plates all over the south east, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee. Just depressing.

#15 while I generally agreed with the No-CA meme, I was a CA refugee here in Idaho. Keep in mind that it's probable that some of the CA tags belong to conservative political refugees (like me) yearning for a better life out of Kalifornia..

#16 Even back in 1990 when I was in Portland, Oregon the natives there did not like Californians moving in to Oregon. Go figure.

#17 Same for me, I moved to Eastern Washington in the 90s and they were fed up with Californians. But most Californians return to California when the economy returns.

With Jerry Brown in charge that may be some time though.

#18 Rammer- I surmise that those who leave Commiefornia are good people who just couldn't take the one-party system of corruption and leftism. I myself will move to NV or FL.

Most of them are retired cops from SoCal. I know a guy still working who commutes.
