Classic NY. Why would anyone pay a premium to live there if the taxes just eat your paycheck alive? Once the wealthy jump ship, the rest of us are the ones left footing the bill for the infrastructure. Predictable.

Wait, if all the millionaires leave, who is going to fund the fancy galleries and theaters? I wonder if there's a stat on exactly how many moved! This feels like a high-stakes game of musical chairs with tax brackets.

Surprising that people leave a place when you make it too expensive to stay? Groundbreaking. I just wonder if the city thinks they can fund their dreams on the taxes of people who no longer live there. Good luck with that.

It makes me wonder where all that energy and investment goes when it leaves. Does the city actually feel any different on the ground, or is this just a numbers game for the people at the top? Hope everyone's having a slow start.
