What is NY doing wrong ?

[stevewfl]

per New York Times:

New York, whose status as the most populous state has long been ceded, will soon fall behind Florida into fourth place, a long-anticipated drop that is rife with symbolism and that could carry potentially serious economic consequences in coming years.

Ever see 100s of bikini clad ladies sunning in a New York park in December?  Didn't think so

If they did this on a daily basis they would be growing (easy boys) daily

Even if there are more people in FLA, with NYC's status as a major eastern seaboard population center and the center-well in their minds at least-of many things culturally, artistically, and media based not to mention a major port and transportation hub, I'd like to think that NY and NYC has nothing to worry about concerning losing anything in the near future, except the American League playoffs.

Rights being lost in NY is not helping the situation either.

Trust me pictures like these ONLY happen during a few brief moments and are usually accompanied with payments of CASH.  Shot made...COATS ON.

I'm from western NY , just got back to Florida,
What happen ... they closed all the factory's and moved them to CHINA
Motorcycles are one of the few big ticket items I buy from overseas
Maybe when I'm 75 or so I'll buy a HD

The two things I hear most from folks moving here to FL from NY are taxes going higher and higher and gun laws/enforcement getting tougher

Bet the liberal media forgets to mention such

By then they'll be made entirely in China or assembled in India out of Chinese parts.

The worst of both worlds..

GE is closing a factory here in NY and moving the production (capacitors and transformers) to Florida.

Will they miss such things as the union bosses, higher taxes, and safety net of tighter gun control laws

I am about 3 hours away from NYC and an hour from Boston; it is really tough economically here in the northeast US. Taxes are high compared to great amounts of area in the south, wages are high also by comparison (but not as high as the cost of living difference). Plus we have unions and 'closed shops' which make the area unattractive to business. And then there is the whole winter thing which brings with it much higher energy costs as well as the difficulty of dealing with snow everywhere from the front steps, the driveway and all the roadways. So put it all together and it amounts to a lot of people getting squeezed out of the northeast especially but the 'rust belt' too, and all of it is either moving south (population and jobs) or offshore (jobs).
