Former Yorkers who have fled to Florida say they have no regrets after throwing high taxes and crime for a sunny, cheaper and safer lifestyle.
An ruthless “Escape New York” has blocked the city after more than 125,000 inhabitants left for Florida between 2018 and 2022 and received nearly $ 14 billion in revenue, according to a new study by the non -party budget commission.
Alex Taub, the starting technology -based Goblintown technology, moved to Miami with his wife and two young children from the West Side of Manhattan in July 2020 during the blockages – and said the rent was also a major factor.
“People thought we were crazy when we were telling them, but she just started becoming increasingly gloomy in New York,” Taub the post told the post. “For the same price we were paying [for a two-bedroom apartment] In New York, we were taking a five -bedroom home, with four bathrooms with a pool and a backyard. “
The CBC report noted that the wealthy New Yorkers have fled to Droves, with approximately 26,000 people transferring from New York to Miami-Dade County, keeping over $ 266,000 per capita.
Taub, a eternal New Yorker who was active in the city’s technology scene, said he would have previously considered “blasphemy” to leave but was earned by the balance of work and life and lower taxes.
“Many friends have moved here, a lot of people in technology, a lot of people in business. People who stayed are people with children,” Taub said. “I’ve never worked more in my life, but I know that at 5 o’clock today I can go into the pool with my kids and have fun,” he added.
Bryan Goldberg, CEO of Bustle Media, said South Florida “is made up of dozens of small cities with accessible, healthy leaders who work hard to improve our lives.”
“I can go to the phone with the leader of Miami Beach at any time, and so can any of my neighbors,” he added. “Once someone experiences this kind of relationship with their government, it is impossible to return to the Kafkaesque experience of NYC.”
Some shifts are retired “Snowbirds” – who fly down south to Florida to save New York’s harsh Winters – making permanent movement, which happens every year.
A bigger shift happened during the pandemic, when New Yorkers rented free in Florida to work remotely, according to luxury retail, Melanie Holland. Many discovered that they enjoyed the sun outside with their children and were fixed.
“Why do I want to pay New York City or New York City taxes when I go out my door and has a homeless person, or my Walgreens is closed because of the robbery?” Many of the Netherlands customers told her.
These transplants “hate what has become the New York City” – complaining about crime and bad smell of weeds, she said.
While Miss Miss New York’s energy, there is no turning back after passing their apartment selling hassle and quarreling with IRS to obtain the residence in Florida, Holland added.
David Feingold, Miami -based CEO of Broadstreet Global, said he has at least 20 people in his organization who have made a request to relocate from New York City to South Florida in the last 18 months.
“Taxes and weather have existed since the beginning of the time in New York,” Feingold told The Post. But what changed in the last 18 months is the “cumulative effect” of crime and immigration, he added.
Feingold said none of the people who were transferred from New York to South Florida have regretted their decision.
“This is the amazing thing – I thought I would have complained about the lack of art and culture you can only find in New York,” he said.
Instead, New York transplants have “bought a boat themselves, a Golf club bag and they have been able to find alternative stores for their time.” Feingold added: “People have offset what they lost leaving New York.”
David Goldberg, a Miami-based Alpaca VC partner, said he and his family initially moved to Florida in August 2020 for what they saw “Try a” Try before buying “-never left.
“It is a significantly better place for me and my family to live from a personal and family perspective,” Goldberg said.
While good weather and no state income tax are both positive, Goldberg said Miami has a unique cultural identity that has grown as the city evolved into a flowering technology center.
“I think we have all recruited a bunch of people to go down here,” he added.
