Eventually, city and state taxes, fees, and regulations become so burdensome that people and corporations jump ship.

That's BS.
"taxes, fees, and regulations" are ok.
Real-estate prices are the killer.
mell saysWhere you get a $100 ticket for being one minute late on your meter while a hob is shitting next to your car and gets no ticket.
It was somebody's elses fault for parking your? car there?

More than 1 million people have moved out of New York City since 2010 in search of greener pastures, which amounts to a negative net migration rate of 4.4 percent.

One minute? LOL! How about the meter turning red while you're pulling away from the curb and the fucking parking monkey who observes it from a block away goes ahead and issues the fucking ticket as if your car was still there? Via fucking mail. "But don't they have to put a VIN number into the ticket?" sez you? Nope, they get away with it by putting "vehicle too high to read VIN" into the field.
You haven't lived in SF then. Where you get a $100 ticket for being one minute late on your meter while a hob is shitting next to your car and gets no ticket. Regulations and fees galore, it's not just the house prices.

If you pay $2 millions for an apt in SF, you ought not to care about a $100 ticket.

For some reason this kind of petty crap does get under your skin even if the sums are trivial in the grand scheme of things.

Huh? Population NYC 2010 8.1M 2017 8.5 million. How is a 400,000 gain in population a net 4.4% negative. I will never master right wing math.

In 8 years they expect the population of city to grow at same pace as rest of the country. And I think 400,000 gain is less growth compared to whole country.
One example of exodus from NYC was my father. I looked at his finances and he was able to save $1500/month just by changing his residence to Florida.
If you don't think people on a fixed income will relocate for $1500/month think again. The weather is also nice for 8.5 months per year .
My main complaint about Florida is I am not quite ready to feel old so I feel out of place sometimes.
WookieMan saysI'm a panhandle FL guyHow far are you from Chipley?
If you paid $100 tickets and the streets look like you can eat from the ground and everything is well kept and kempt then not many would have a problem with hefty tickets. But it's literally the opposite.
How far are you from Chipley?
In LA, I got a red light camera ticket in the mail for $480. Not even issued by a cop, and full presumption of guilt and my own burden to prove innocence based on a blurry black and white photo.
Eventually, city and state taxes, fees, and regulations become so burdensome that people and corporations jump ship. More people are currently fleeing New York than any other metropolitan area in the nation. More than 1 million people have moved out of New York City since 2010 in search of greener pastures
I always ignored these. So far 100% success -
