DOJ declares NYC designated anarchist zone!?!
Serious laughs on this one. NYC is super quiet, current protests are sparse and small. Anyone fro nyc knows there is LESS protesting happening right now than even pre-covid times.
Remember the first BLM marches? The almost weekly protests of all types throughout every summer? Remember Occupy Wall ST?!? That was much bigger than even the height of this year’s protests.
Lololol designated anarchist zone is hilarious sounding to begin with, but also it’s not even crazy in nyc right now.
Trump and all his people and Fox are so full of shit about everything. And his followers eat it up because they’re too stupid to think for themselves.
- agreed ... it's incredibly quiet and reserved at the moment and has been for monthsmonospaced

Lol at all these people shitting on NYC right now
- It’s entertaining but also sad to see people beating an injured animal. I lived in NYC almost 10 years and left some years ago. It will always have a place in..NBQ00
- ...my heart.NBQ00
- I lived in the heart of it for over ten years, and I left a piece of my heart there for sure. It will never "die." It can only be reborn.monospaced
- ^ Same. I hate how expensive it's become, but I wouldn't trade the years I've lived there.spl33nidoru
- Work in NYC but live in the durty Jers. That is the way.ok_not_ok

Right, the article and study mentioned that people are leaving Manhattan and SF, but otherwise cities are stable. The spike in sales is attributed to a rebound after the market was sort of “frozen” in the early months of covid.
I will admit the study focuses on sales and not rentals, so there is some uncertainty or at least obscurity.
It also “feels” to me like people are leaving but... on my street in Brooklyn, only two families are moving this summer: one is moving within Brooklyn and the other to LA. No one my street has left. My neighbor owns a handful of walk up apartment buildings in Brooklyn.
I want to ask him how it’s “really” going but it’s a little personal and I don’t want to be rude.
- The only other family on my street to move was right at the start of covid, and they moved within Brooklyn too. No one on my street left.nb
- Anecdotal, sure, but so is your story so I just wanted to counter.nb
- You’re talking to me? My anecdote is about manhattan not Brooklyn. In Manhattan the exodus is real. My new neighborhood is mostly transplants.monospaced
- MAJOR bidding wars on any house under a million here now. 100% covid related frenzy and it is statistically significant.monospaced
- Real estate agents in the area here are going nuts. This is big and it is real. Not being rude but the rush to the burbs is very much a thing.monospaced
- Yes, but it’s a short term boom. Two factors: no one bought for a couple months and people who planned to move “in the next few years” have pulled the trigger.nb

We left Manhattan and moved to the 'burbs in June. At that time there were over a dozen apartments vacant in our building, which is absolutely unheard of. This is normal, and it took almost 3 months to get a renter for our apartment, when usually it would take a couple of days. No, it's not an exaggeration, people are leaving Manhattan in droves. Thing to note is, it's the people that still have good jobs doing it. People with jobs and the luxury of flexible work arrangements and work from home options.
- That's what the video suggested; the majority of tax revenue coming from the well-employed population that's leaving.MondoMorphic

I know a few people who have moved upstate, but no more than usual. I don’t trust the local tv news to report accurately on these kinds of things. They tend to cherry pick statistics to make the most alarming story possible.

Where to are they moving?

- What's hard to understand is the disconnect between the political/economic policies and their (inevitable) outcome.MondoMorphic
- That was an 8 min long election year political commercial.toemaas
- From the Escaping CA video, "somehow we've made it untenable for people to run business here." "SOMEHOW," like it's a mystery.MondoMorphic
- toemaas, data is data. The data may implicate the policies of a particular party/philosophy, but it is what it is.MondoMorphic

Maybe Altucher is right.
All the main stuff in NYC is closed until at least January.
People are leaving the city en masse.
This is really spooky.

It's the lesser-heralded cities where the action is happening- where you can still find walkable, urban areas at affordable prices. I have been living in Sacramento for nigh on 8 years now and I've watched it transform.
People are fleeing LA and SF to come here. No doubt people are leaving NYC and moving to Cleveland as well.
Rents in the SF Bay Area actually went down 9% in the last year https://www.sfchronicle.com/busi….
- Having lived in both SF and NYC for a decade each I can say that SF is just awful pathetic shit in comparison.monospaced
