New York’s super-rich migrating south for better value

[ironchef]

The funny thing is that I could pull up an almost identical article from 5 years ago, 10 years ago, 15 years ago.... People have been retiring from places like NY to places like FL for literally 50 years. None of these articles provide anything more than anecdotal "evidence" that this is happening at any greater rate than it has in the past, and in fact the states the rich are allegedly "fleeing" from are inexplicably all generally showing a higher and higher tax base while all the "fleeing" is happening.
Bullshit article trying to push a political agenda is pretty much all it is. Not to mention a sad commentary that people believe that it's in any way rational to choose something as monumentally important to their day to day life as where they live based solely on ensuring they die with a couple more million dollars added to the many millions they already have. If you want to move to FL because it's warm, by all means. If you move to FL despite preferring to live in NYC to ensure you die with $500M rather than $450M, you're a very sad individual who's lost all perspective in life.

Well said sir. I just enjoy living in California. The nice thing about a free society is we all have choices and if California loses its appeal to me, I can leave and go elsewhere.

Most of my income are from trading, I should move from California to Nevada to save on state income tax. Yet, I thank my lucky star everyday that I have to pay California state income tax, can afford to live in a nice house instead of being on welfare and need housing assistance.

It is OK to pay tax since I can afford it. I don't agree with the Democrats on a lot of things but that is oK too, it is how democracy works.

Excellent trend, hope it continues. People are rational actors, in aggregate.

Should have moved long ago. Perhaps it took them this long to figure out that the government regards the people as mere "tax donkeys".

And nobody told them of the pizza problem they will have. Put simply, you cannot get real NY pizza in Florida. It is impossible. At least you can get real Boars-Head meat from the deli-counters in Publix supermarkets.

Just got to know where to look is all.

Tomasso's is on par with the best the city has to offer - and been here "forever".
