Written by someone in liberal Houston and not giving enough blame to Di Commieo.

It sounds like the author got tired of the daily grind of making it in NYC and wanted to move to a different kind of place with lots to offer but where life was easier. It's a lot different than NYC though, so it's unfair and maybe dishonest to say that he moved because of taxes, or trash, or rodents.

People from LA move to Houston because of the reasons cited, but tha makes sense as the cities are more similar.

I thought that New York numbers arent shrinking per se, it's just that they counted the numbers wrong in the last two census surveys.

It's kind of a main board topic because it seems his main grievance is the poor subway service.

His wife called with excitement from the UWS. Would she be as excited in Miami or Atlanta? She'd be in a car, not walking around. NYC has that energy level like few others.

NYC is for young people. They outgrow it and realize life is not like portrayed on some iconic pop culture show(you all can think of them).

he got married so that played a role. If he was single he might enjoy the UES scene, instead of the women available in Texas, where he'd realize after a few nights out, that he misses NYC.

Why? Itisn't mandatory, and who wants to bring a child into a world like this?

Birthrate seemed okay during the Obama years.

For you, a zero birth rate would have seemed good, given your hatred of children. Too bad you never learned to perform abortions. You would have loved your work.

I have a simple reason... NYC is too damn expensive. The rest has always been true of NYC but I think the cost of living is reaching a point to being too much for the middle class.

You nailed it. The era of the working-class and middle-class being able to stay here is coming to an end. The only way you can do that is if you own your house, but even then you have to pay.

"New York City is, for the first time in more than 10 years, shrinking, "
