So in honor of Friday, I'm posting this video with Lewis Black, a response to Governor Perry's recent ad campaign dissing places like Illinois, California, and New York

That still leaves about oh about 20 million that haven't fled, so they must think its great! Those who are leaving are just making more room for the new arrivals. So 700,000 leaving out of a state population of 20 million with a constant influx of new arrivals by being at the crossroads of the world, with plenty a lot more wanting to come here. New York City has had an increase of 160,000 in just the last two years; and the city's population is expected to continue to soar over the next two decades. It's like Jerry Brown said when heard heard about Rick Perry's ad knocking California, it's a fart and a burp. And with that migration turning red states more purple along with minority populations already living in those red states, and Republicans apparent inability not to antagonize those demographics, and get them to vote Republican, that's just icing on the cake.
actually no you didn't. you talked about migrants coming in from overseas (which is great). but when a net 3.5% of your population leaves for other states every year, it makes you wonder if its really such a great place to be.
yeah, you rambled on about politics, which i can only assume is an effort to distract from the point that NY is 47th in the state in net migration as a % of population.
There's always a certain amount of churn in any population. California has always had a steady stream of people coming and going. It remains a target state, however.
I have a quick guess. It's one of the few states that doesn't have an income tax. It may also be cheaper to live there during a recession, but I haven't checked into that. New York (especially NYC) is expensive. You only go there if you have money. I'll be interested to see what the in-and-out fluxes look like when the economy picks up sometime in the future.
I'd visit Texas to hopefully enjoy Austen (for the music scene there) and to get some barbecue. I'd visit New York for Broadway, Harlem, and to generally just experience the various attractions. I think both merit at least one visit.
NYC is extremely expensive. But the cost of housing is expensive because so many want to live here (I would assume). Tight real estate market is a landlord's dream. I have a family member that has a 4000 sq foot home in North Carolina that would probably go for millions here, but down there, it's about 250,000 - 350,000 depending on the options when you had the house built.
