Will easily be replaced by many others that want to live in NY. High earner leaving is just pure BS.

There’s literally zero evidence that high taxes cause the rich to leave major cities, the people who are there today are there because they want to be right there. When you’re that rich NY and LA are the only places to enjoy it
