Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsAsking for a "friend"...Fox News is reporting that hundreds of New Yorkers
are making their plans to flee to Florida this morning, afraid of the Islamic/Communist takeover.
(I saw the headline in my Google news feed, but didn't click on it, as I will not give Fox News any clicks).
Does this mean housing in NYC will become more affordable?

But even those Gun humpers hate New Yorkers, except the one, and he is spiraling down a whirlpool, taking the food stamps away. Now how are they suppose to cook without the needed groceries.

(9,487 posts)You were 'moving in' about the same time I first visited the town! (Which is what it was back then.)
Years later, I had some good fiends who lived in the very huge and old hospital (I think that is what it originally was) at Montford and Watauga. We used to run around tripping our balls off in Montford Park. We would also do the walk during the Christmas holidays because that area used to really go for it with the decorations.

Yes, sales, property and gas taxes are higher here in Washington because we don't have an income tax.

(339 posts)According to RW pundits, Dinkins chased millions of rich white people out when he was elected (didn't happen). When Rudy Tooty was installed the claim giddily made by the right was it would chase millions of hippie types (liberals, of course) from NYC. Didn't happen then. Every time the corporate media/Wall Street suck ups scream "Chaos is coming" it happens only when their type are in charge.

Raftergirl
(1,758 posts)a home here for summer season. They live in Florida enough months of the year to become residents so can register to vote. Everyone I know who has done this registered to vote as Democrats, as they were always Democrats. .They dont change their politics. Ive heard many try to justify moving to. Florida to make Florida more blue, but there just isnt enough of them and they are concentrated in the two predominately D counties of Broward and Plam Beach. Very few go to the red parts of the state. Midwesterner are more likely to move to the Panhandle and west coast- which is much more heavily R.
My extended family has been doing this for years. My grandparents did it in the 40s!
My parents have had a place in Florida since the 70s. My mother was a snowbird and my dad flew back and forth from NY to FL every weekend. When he finally retired they were snowbirds for about 10 years until they finally sold their place up north and lived all year in Florida. My mom, who is 96, is still there. She cant take the cold anymore at all, so we are go see her instead of her coming here for a month or so in the summer.
Many of my friends are now residents of Florida, but still come home to NY from about June-Oct/Nov. .

The Conductor
(193 posts)Let's work that out... Some people can use "hundreds" to represent up to 2,000 (e.g. nineteen hundred xx), and the population of New York City is 8.8 million. That makes the population change equal to around 0.023%. In weight, that would be roughly the difference in performance your typical SUV would have between having a full tank and having burned 2 ounces of fuel. Would you notice the difference?
