Yea because it’s utter bullshit that’s been spread by billionaires for decades.

The Republicans have been screaming that all of the millionaires will leave NYC every year for 15 years. The number of people making more than a million a year has almost doubled since 2010.

Even if it was true, one of the biggest supposed claims of capitalism is economic mobility. For every millionaire that leaves there should be someone in the wings waiting to take their place.

I left NYC…
Only because I live in CT and it was for a musical, planning to go back for a Broadway musical soon.

Yes because if you are wealthy in NYC you are not giving that up. There isn’t really another city to go to that wouldn’t have them equally up in arms.

We just passed a small increase (about $400) on over $300k households in Colorado to fund universal school meals. There was a blanket increase a few years ago to start the program, which I happily voted Yes on despite the monumental cost of ~$125 annually in state taxes at my income level.
The comments on some threads were hilarious about how people would leave the state over $400. Realtor and/or moving costs alone are significantly more, not to mention properties in the state are appreciating at an insane rate

No one ever leaves. Somewhere there is a video of fox saying this for 15 years.

They have two options: move or complain.
Take a wild guess what they’ll pick.

NYC is a really fun place to visit. I wish I’d had the opportunity to live there for a few years.

No surprise there. We all knew those utterances by haters about leaving NYC, they were completely performative.

The Daily Show clip showing the last decade and more of people saying they are leaving NYC is outright hilarious and a must watch

Where else would they even go lmao. It’s either NYC or LA if you’re wealthy in the US.

I’m amused by the support for Mamdani’s win. He received just under 1 million votes on Election Day. That’s only a majority within the total who voted. Around 2 million people cast ballots out of 3.2 million eligible voters. In essence, Mamdani was voted in under the same measure as Trump. With nearly one in three voters sitting it out, it cannot be said that there’s a mandate here.

I like how these people think it’s a threat when they say they’ll leave. Who wants you there to begin with?

This is the Atlas Shrugged myth. They’re not the best of the best, and they’re not self-sustainable.

The wealthy will leave NYC to save money? Yeah, they’re not living there because it so affordable.

My dads wife, who has never been there, would like you all to know she will NOT be going there
DistractedPhoenix on
Anybody wealthy enough to be angry about Mamdani already likely has property elsewhere in the country. Plenty of wealthy New Yorkers live in Florida more than 50% of the time and already claim it as their residence. They want to benefits of New York business and culture without contributing financially

Yeah because the rich are a bunch of fucking lying, whiny bitches.
They do this every single time. They’re not going to leave. There was an article about how zero oil companies left Norway despite Norway raising taxes.
The rich threaten to leave and literally never will. They just don’t want to pay taxes because they’re fucking assholes. They should be completely and totally disregarded at all times. They lie and there’s no reason to listen to them, ever.

NYC will still be the capital of capitalism and a decent amount of Mamdani’s policies will be limited by what can take place Albany. Nevertheless, still excited to see what the near future holds!

Not even Andrew Cuomo…

The idea that the wealthy would flee if Mamdani or any other left wing candidate got elected has always been a laughable talking point.

That was obvious. People are leaving Austin and Miami however. Real estate is about to be super cheap there, especially Austin.
Insurance is going to be through the roof in Miami though. And because because they don’t really have meaningful building codes, so homes collapse and you never know when a hurricane will come and decimate your neighborhood

That’s a bummer. I was actually thinking of moving back to NYC if all the bozos who swore they’d leave actually left.

And here I thought they were going to move to the utopia of… Texas.

Of course they’re not. It was always a BS scare tactic. They’re billionaires. They can afford to live anywhere they want.

Maybe if they start blasting Sean Hannity’s New York song the psychological torture will get people to go.

No kidding? So you were all just pushing that because you wanted Cuomo, got it.

Perhaps it’s a good barometer of societal health when the obscenely wealthy are crying you’re positively doing something right.
