Perhaps we should all follow the Trumpkopf and make Aliyah to Florida. No more snow, no state income tax, you can protect your “homestead” in bankruptcy or from your 2 ex-wives and also get a more natural “orange” glow. What we really need is for a chassuvah rebbe from a major chassidus in Brooklyn or Monsey to announce that he (along with his gabboim) will be moving his winter HQ to South Beach. Indeed, Zillow shows that there is a prime building at 770 Collins Avenue on the market..…
Doesn’t FL have a lot of pritzus?
Katanhatorah, laugh and make fun if you must , but you are entirely missing the point. Cuomo and DiBlasio may rip the rich but they desperately count on their taxes. The 1%s pay 40% of NY’s taxes and, while Trump may be the latest to leave, he certainly wasn’t the first and won’t be the last. According to moving company statistics, the states with the largest outflows are NY , NJ, Conn and Illinois. They are all high tax states. The 2 leading inflow states are Florida and Texas, both no tax states.
Brooklyn has more these days
Would you have your head bashed in in “heilige” NY, or live frei in “frei” Florida?
Moving to Florida is an option that I am considering. In addition to the high taxes of NYC, the quality of life is declining thanks to our idiot mayor. Without serious change crime and quality of life will plummet back to the levels in the 80’s. Hate crimes against Jews are at a record high (another few yesterday https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/featured/1796784/hate-in-boro-park-numerous-hasidic-jews-attacked-on-friday-night-expect-a-deblasio-tweet-and-nothing-else.html) and the Mayor doesn’t care. All he cares about is pandering to minorities so he can appear “woke” and continue his socialist agenda of “making NYC Fair.” I hope Chasidish communities don’t continue to endorse him (but i’m won’t holding my breath.) Why anyone would settle in Flatbush/BP long-term is beyond me. The frum areas in Florida have shuls, yeshivos, restaurants, supermarkets and all the other amenities that a fum community needs. There is no state income tax, the economy is growing and its a conservative leaning state- all pluses in my book.
GH,
I hope they don’t hit anyone of the 57 states that are in the USA
GH,
I see your attempt at humor, but it seems to me that you have a bit of animosity, which ruins it for me.Agreed
Its the real estate prices in NYC, They are insane. These high real estate prices are going to kill the frum communities

If the high tax rates don’t kill first.
GH,
I used to think that Trump was a little confused, but I think that is a ruse. He just says something inflammatory to distract while he does what he wants.The real estate prices are alot worse than the taxes, One bedroom apartment in frum areas of NYC are around $2000 a month and houses in NYC in frum areas are close to $1 million if not more
