We were almost part of that number, but no, we moved out in February of 2015. And yeah, the main reasons we moved were property taxes, houses in Long Island were just too expensive and the schools in Roosevelt were not the greatest. Although I was not making $200K a year, I was still making over $100K a year. NY still took over $4K from me last year, but that will be the last time they take anything else form me! I got my refund just last month! They're quick to take your taxes but so slow to give you your refund!!
Another reason for the move was that Long Island was just becoming the land of houses, private communities and malls. If I wanted to race one of my cars I either had to risk getting arrested or drive an hour and a half to Englishtown! So yeah, did my share of street races! |

My plan is to eventually get out of New York BEFORE I take one nickel out of my 401K (thus keeping New York from ever seeing a dime of money I was able to legally keep from them in the first place).
I have given up on the dream of ever owning a home here on Long Island and will leave that for retirement (if ever). Between the impossible taxes and fees here (Nassau looking for yet another huge increase in fees and Town of Oyster Bay looking for 15% more in taxes) and the out-of-control corruption that is just getting worse, I cannot stomach paying one dime more to the government than I have to. And the idea of having an anchor around my neck in the form of property makes me sick to even think about now. My second biggest fear is of all these people fleeing New York and taking their Progressive New York way of thinking with them only to foul up another part of the country. Much like Californians tend to do when they migrate to the other western states. |

Monthly, quarterly, annually and it has to be for 24 months. Now you have an excuse to stay two more years

Uh, yea...NO! Much like Californians tend to do when they migrate to the other western states. Austin, TX is the new leftest bastion and the natives are fit to be tied.

Busted a move at end of June and am now enjoying free Arizona ! Lower taxes more freedom lower overall cost of living and higher wages ( my wife is running the same job as back in ny but better working conditions and $200 a week higher wage) no permit required for concealed or open carry.

Funny how many NYers I run into here in SC... the majority of them don't own firearms, they said they left because of the taxes or weather. I left because AC said there was no place in NY for people like me
ETA: Oh... and I'm not a felon for having standard capacity mags here!

Is that when we change NY for the better? 1) For every fed up New Yorker who leaves, you have probably three additional ones being created through birth or immigration. They just keep making more progressives. 2) Plus the old sewage/wine analogy applies: add a few drops of wine to a barrel of sewage and you have sewage. Add a few drops of sewage to a barrel of wine and you have sewage. Just a few hardcore New York Progressives would still make the state a living hell. |

ETA: Oh... and I'm not a felon for having standard capacity mags here! Me too. I run into many transplanted Yankees like me here in SC. Most all left because of gun laws. Life in SC is awesome. I wish I had moved earlier. New York blows, nothing there is worth staying for. |

One of the best moves I have ever made. Haven't been back in probably two years, no plans in the foreseeable future. |

It's all part of the plan to turn/ solidify Upstate as blue.

When I first went to the bank here everyone working there was from NY except for one guy, he was from NJ. I've also run into former NYers working at my vet, supermarket, doctor's offices, cell phone store, and UPS Store. My one doctor is also from NY. All said they left because of cost of living/taxes. |

Granted I live in a very large city with one of the largest colleges in America so we see a lot of different license plates from out of state, but I notice a literal shit ton of those yellow NYS plates. I don't think they are here for the college. |
