    New York has had the problem of greedy people leaving right? To the point they’d check your cell records and where you get your teeth cleaned, if you’re a millionaire claiming to leave NY to FL. (They expect you might fly back to New York to see your doctor, but they’re suspicious if you’re not at least getting your teeth cleaned in Florida.)

      You are describing tax fraud not out migration.

      They are kind of opposites.

      If they were actually leaving, they wouldn’t have to hide the fact that they are still in NY.

      If I got your point wrong because of sarcasm, sorry but please use the /s next time.

        My memory of it:

        New York takes in outsize revenue from very wealthy people.

        Flight of wealth becomes critical funding issue.

        To partially mitigate the problem, it becomes worthwhile to investigate those who claimed to be leaving.

        Flight of wealth remains critical funding issue.

        So, yes, I was describing fraud - and the investigations thereof driven by out migration. Does my comment seem less of a non sequitur now? :)
