New Yorkers are fleeing the state in drove due to high taxes. The result is an overabundance of home few can afford.
Bloomberg reports Manhattan’s Flood of New Condos Could Take Six Years to Sell.
“ Manhattan is glutted with even more luxury condos than most apartment-shoppers realize. The borough has 7,050 unsold, newly built units, according to a report by Halstead Development Marketing. The bulk of those -- almost 6,000 -- haven’t been formally listed for sale, creating an under-the-radar “shadow inventory.”
The secret supply is a heavy weight on a market in which sales, especially of higher-end properties, have slowed to a crawl. It would take take 74 months -- more than 6 years -- to clear all of Manhattan’s unsold units at the pace of contracts in 2019, the report shows.
Despite the allegedly booming economy, there is little interest in moving to Manhattan. Rather, people have has enough of taxes.
This is not at all surprising. New York, California, Illinois, and New Jersey are in the same boat. Those are the top four states with domestic out migration.
Tax The Rich, The Rich Leave

“ “Tax the rich. Tax the rich. Tax the rich. The rich leave,” New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, a Democrat, lamented in February as he announced an anticipated revenue plunge in the Empire State. “And now what do you do?”
The $10,000 limit has left governors in high-tax states steaming and has sent Democratic politicians scrambling to try to offer breaks to the same wealthy Americans they usually demand pay their fair share.
“It is having a big impact,” said Chris Edwards, tax policy director at the Cato Institute. “There was migration before, but there has always been disputes about the causes with the data. Now I suspect a lot of people are just getting fed up.”
Exodus Just Beginning
Please consider New York, California High-Tax State Exodus Just Beginning
“ The cap on state and local tax (SALT) deductions has already begun to drive some residents away from high-tax states like New York and New Jersey, but experts say that trend is only going to intensify.
“It took a few months for taxpayers to realize the dollar implications – until they actually filed their tax returns this year,” Alan Goldenberg, a principal at Friedman LLP, told FOX Business. “It quantified the impact of the loss of the SALT deduction when people saw it in front of their eyes on their tax return.”
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act introduced a number of reforms, including the notorious $10,000 cap on state and local tax deductions, which has caused Americans to look into establishing legal primary residences in states where they can limit their liabilities.

“No I don’t hate half the country. And I’m not a liberal. Don’t assume sh!t pal.”
I don’t assume, I go by what you say. Typical liberal: Doesn’t want to be held accountable for her words.
As a typical liberal, you claim those in the south are somehow responsible for the Civil War, as though anyone alive today was there back then.
Listen asshole. I’m not a female and I’m not a liberal, got it? You Rebs are the Democrats here. The Confederacy were the Democrats. No, everyone in the modern day South is not responsible for the Civil War or are they a Confederate, just you. You’re a Confederate sympathizer. How you like having aspirations thrown at you like you did to me?
