New York 2023

New York’s liberal politicians need to lower taxes if they want more people to stay (NY Post).

The Census Bureau released new data Tuesday showing that New York is hemorrhaging its most valuable resource — people — at an alarming rate.

From July 2022 to July 2023, the latest data available, 217,000 more people left New York than moved there.

For context, 166,000 people died in New York during that time.

So many more people are leaving the state than are dying there that the effect on the population is worse than a doubling of the death rate.

If the politicians overseeing this mass exodus wonder why it’s happening, they need only look in the nearest mirror.

Their high taxes, wasteful government spending and soft-on-crime policies are among the self-inflicted wounds slowly bleeding New York dry.
