According to the data, 64,577 New Yorkers made history, making the official switch to the Sunshine State in 2022 by changing over their licenses last year. That’s up from the 61,728 who fled the Empire State for Florida the year prior, in 2021., one staffer at the Jacksonville DMV spoke of the influx, listening to the complaints of weary New Yorkers making the transition to what Gov. Ron DeSantis has dubbed the “free state of Florida.
“They come in every day,” the staffer said. “I hear all the complaints. I feel like a therapist sometimes.”, which found blue states such as California and New York facing six-figure declines in terms of population since 2020. On April 1, 2020, for example, New York had a population of 20,201,230. That figure decreased to 19,857,492 as of July 1, 2021, and it dropped again to 19,677,151 in July 2022. Further, New York stands as the state that has experienced the largest population decrease in terms of percent– a 0.9 percent decrease.
Florida, specifically, is the “fastest-growing state” in the nation, increasing by 1.9 percent, compared to New York’s 0.9 percent loss. According to data from the U.S. Census bureau, Florida’s population stood at 22,244,823.also falls behind Texas as the “second largest gaining state” in the country, adding over 400,000 residents.
Coinciding with that is the boom Florida Republicans are experiencing in terms of voter registration,
It's because Texas and Florida are begging righty from NY and Cal to move there to keep them from turning blue
Then they lose seats in the house let’s go!
Great for FL & TX alike as long as they leave any blue notions in NY
Beware. Back in the 60’s NY apartment dwellers moved to California and now look at it.
So tens of thousands left NY but Eric Adams is saying there is no room for the couple of hundreds illegals asking to be bused there?
That's ok we can replace them with illegals.
A long as they left their liberal ideology at the NY state line.
1 million Floridians to lose Medicaid benefits this year. Florida remains one of only a handful of states refusing to expand Medicaid to cover adults with incomes below the poverty level.
More trash for Florida. Enjoy the meth and bath salts
It's beautiful here. ⛱️
But New Yorkers will try to turn Florida into New York. We experienced the same after Katrina. Bunch of carpetbaggers trying to change New Orleans into I don't know what.
That is good, it will free up room for all the illegals heading to NY. 🤣
Then they have plenty of room for illegals 🤷🏻♀️
No one wants to live in communist NY illegals galore a governor who wants to mask your children as she photos without one they want to ban gas stoves. Florida is looking better and better and we do not bring our liberal politics with us.
My worry is they will move to FL & start voting leftie so they can ruin the state from within. States may need to start setting citizenship qualifications in place. Can't vote in local/state elections for 5 years & must take/pass a State History class for new residents.
Poor Florida..
Liberals HATE living in states controlled by liberals. The very definition of insanity.
How many of them were Liberals?
Tens of thousands of people are leaving New York. Businesses are closing .Amazon never even put its feet on the ground because of AOC. So sooner or later NY may just find a skeleton in the place where a vibrant beautiful city used to be. You get what you vote for 🤨
God help Florida. All those Blue votes headed south after their votes helped destroy New York.
Wonder if Florida developed a 'red state how to' webinar for blue state refugees?
Watch Out , They come with Votes!!!
and from CA
Come on down. Just leave your liberal ideas in NY.
As long as they leave those California Democrat views in California!
It's really not a question of how many residents left - it's a question of how much money left the state... And conversely, how much money was gained by what state. That's the real metric that should be reported.
Tell NY not to worry. These losses will be replaced with illegal aliens from AZ, TX, and FL.
Good! Conservatives leaving is not a bad thing. If anything, it's positive.
If you can find a place to live..god it's packed..
Bs
I feel sorry for the one's who can't afford to leave New York.
And I'm worried they will fuk up my state.
That's fine if they leave their politics behind. People from blue states, though, have a tendency to move to other states & start the destruction all over again by voting for the kind of grifters who destroyed the state they fled. I say stay there and clean up the mess you made.
Just puts NY into a deeper blue position, with no hope of ever changing. If CV-19 didn’t help flip this state red, nothing will.
If I had the money right now.. I might move to Florida.. they are continuing to California our Arizona..
Hopefully the new FL residents won't vote Democrat/Communist
Florida needs a wall.
