Why New York and California are losing people, power to Texas and Florida
|
[NYPOST] New York’s problems — and especially New York City’s problems — documented at great length in these pages, are also in great part the result of misgovernance, a product of the stupidity, arrogance, and incompetence of Andrew Sonny Cuomo and Comrade Bill de Blasio
...cryptocommie mayor of New York and for some reason a Dem candidate for president in 2020. Corrupt and incompetent, his qualifications for office seem to consist of being married to a black woman, with whom he honeymooned in Cuba. He has a preppy-looking son named Dante, whose Divine Comedy involved getting his back hair up when a police car drove past him slowly. New Yorkers voted for him, so they deserve him...
, among others. New York City does not have the Socialist paradise of San Francisco
...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964...
’s housing problem, but that is because rents and prices are declining as the population dwindles. New York City was losing 376 people a day before COVID-19, according to Bloomberg, and the Postal Service estimates that more than 100,000 New Yorkers relocated elsewhere between February and July of 2020.
But there’s more in play than high taxes and high rents. The increasingly stifling and conformist "woke" political culture of Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, and New York have made them less attractive to many of the kind of people who have the money and the freedom to pack up and move to Texas or Florida. And the two states’ overbearing response to the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
epidemic — which, incredibly enough, managed to be both heavy-handed and ineffective at the same time — poured gasoline on a fire that already was smoldering.
There was a time when an investment firm had to have a Manhattan office and a technology company had to be in Silicon Valley, but those days are gone, as Palm Beach and Austin can attest. Where the money and the jobs go, the people will go.
And where the people go, political power follows.
