The sad thing is that for every person who is fleeing to a "free state" and will contribute to the society in which he will arrive, many more leave their disaster area and then vote for all the crap in their new state that made their old state intolerable in the first place.

The largest age group of people who left NY were between the ages of 55 and 64, followed by those 65 and older.

When I moved up there in 2012 for a stint at corporate HQ everyone I met looked at me like I had two heads for relocating to NY. I've never lived someplace with so many miserable people who hated their state.

Leaving that place was one of the happiest days of my life.

This exactly.  When I was working in Denver back in '99, the locals were complaining about all the Californians who fled from Cali to Colorado to get away from it and were not trying to make Colorado just like where they left.

Almost 20 years later, it seems that has come to pass.

Surprised Ca wasn't up there

NY ahead of CA because CA has a lot more positives than NY does to at least partially balance out the bullshit and because there has always been a steady natural outflow of people moving from NY to NJ/CT to have a family or to FL to retire. None of CA's major cities are within commuting distance of another state.

I'd like to see some state pass a law preventing new arrivals from voting in state elections (they can still vote in federal elections) until they've established residency for 5 years.

I wouldn’t call this 100% true, but then I look how in WA we’re on shaky ground when it comes to gun control because of the large influx of out of staters.

In about 20 years, hopefully, the plan is to retire from the state with roughly a $65k-$75k pension and move to a free state.  If I wasn't already vested in the retirement system and had young kids and family here, I'd have been gone long ago.

You obviously don't realize that NYC has enough liberal votes to pass anything they want, and that there is a large geographical part of NY state that is the polar opposite of NYC.

I literally had the Long Island born asshole next door tell me that "we learned how it was done incorrectly there, and we will get it right this time if we trust the officials we elect."

I wanted to punch him in the face.

Odd that Utah is on that list.

It has had the best economy ranked by Forbes for the last few lears only this year to slip to #3.

Not that I mind people leaving.... more powder and open space for me.

It does sound rediculous, so I looked up a voting results map...appears he is basically right. Looks like the few blue counties upstate are where the major cities are located (Syracuse, Albany, etc)

It is interesting to note that what appears to be Staten Island and a portion of Long Island both voted for trump. That must irk Cuomo knowing that there are free thinking Americans living in his primary zone of influence.
