Last week, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio mocked President Trump after he announced he would leave New York and make Florida the state of his permanent residence. Cuomo tweeted,” Good riddance. It’s not like @realDonaldTrump paid taxes here anyway… He’s all yours, Florida.” De Blasio echoed, “Our deepest condolences to the good people of Florida as Trump attempts to outrun his past (and near future).”
What Cuomo and de Blasio ignore are these salient facts: more people reportedly leave New York City daily than any other city in the nation, and according to the U.S. Census Bureau, between July 2017 and July 2018, New York state lost 48,560 people, the biggest plunge in the U.S. The New York Post added, “In 2017, roughly 131 people left the metropolitan area each day, compared with 43 in 2014.”
