Wtf?

Appears to be a result of a few things... feckless governance, overbearing lockdowns, high taxes, high crime, etc.
With many people able to work remotely, and with many companies now preferring that, people are leaving for states / cities with lower cost of living, more affordable housing, lower taxes, etc.
Whatever the underlying reason this is not going to be good for NY, and I can imagine the same for San Francisco; which is even worse than NY in many of those respects. I know cguy (from mybb) is one of those leaving NY.
Just look at the impact to businesses.

I do hope this trend continues. I have after all been trying to do this for years.

I have no problem with it; it's the life I've lived for more than 10 years, and I highly recommend it.
For NY and Democrats this is a scorecard on their style of governance; because who would need to leave if everything was great in NY; same applies to CA.

Opinion | The Trump Campaign Accepted Russian Help to Win in 2016. Case Closed. (Published 2020)
“Cooperation” or “collusion” or whatever. It was a plot against American democracy.
Opinion
The Trump Campaign Accepted Russian Help to Win in 2016. Case Closed.
“Cooperation” or “collusion” or whatever. It was a plot against American democracy.
A bipartisan report released Tuesday by the Republican-controlled Senate Intelligence Committee cuts through the chaff. The simplicity of the scheme has always been staring us in the face: Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign sought and maintained close contacts with Russian government officials who were helping him get elected. The Trump campaign accepted their offers of help. The campaign secretly provided Russian officials with key polling data. The campaign coordinated the timing of the release of stolen information to hurt Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
The Senate committee’s report isn’t telling this story for the first time, of course. (Was it only a year ago that Robert Mueller testified before Congress about his own damning, comprehensive investigation?) But it is the first to do so with the assent of Senate Republicans, who have mostly ignored the gravity of the Trump camp’s actions or actively worked to cast doubt about the demonstrable facts in the case.
For example, Mr. Mueller declined to say whether Mr. Trump had lied under oath when he said that he did not recall speaking with Roger Stone, his longtime aide and confidant, about WikiLeaks, which released the batches of emails stolen by the Russians. But the Senate committee found that the president “did, in fact, speak with Stone about WikiLeaks and with members of his campaign about Stone’s access to WikiLeaks on multiple occasions.”

I've been remote for years now, it's the only way I want to work. Living in a small town and earning city salaries
Anyway, pointing out that NYC, the biggest city and the earliest hit with Covid, is also experiencing the worst economic effects right now, is hardly unexpected.

The only ones who worked with the Russians to undermine an election was Hillary Clinton and the DNC who paid for a fake dossier which Obama and Biden then tasked the FBI to use to attack Trump and his administration -- destroying the age old practice of peaceful transition of government.
...or did you miss the fact that an FBI lawyer has already confessed to criminal changes re lying in documents for the FISA court requests that allowed them to spy on the Trump campaign or that the FISA courts have admonished the FBI because the majority of their FISA court applications were similarly crooked.
...and we're yet to hear the full scope of the John Durham prosecution, it's going to blow the lid off the Obama / Biden / Clinton and DNC coup attempts to overthrow a president. Plus Barr also appointed a new prosecutor to look into the unmasking of General Flynn by Obama and Biden during the "peaceful handover" period, literally days before Trump took over.
They thought Hillary was going to win and when they realized she lost, they were extremely concerned about Flynn exposing their corruption, unethical practices including a shadow organization setup to spy on all Americans and alter the outcomes of politics around the globe. Flynn new about these illicit financial transactions funding this, and hence they broke the law to take him out. Snowden only scratched the surface...
...but keep swallowing the hogwash CNN, MSNBC and NYT serves up to you.

The Mueller report confirmed it but the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee makes it unquestionable. There's still plenty we don't know but what we do know is absolutely damning to Trump's entire cadre.
Trump lying under oath:
Manafort gleefully accepting Russian intelligence and working closely with Russians throughout the campaign:
Manafort was ‘grave counterintelligence threat’ due to Russian contacts, Senate panel says
The Senate panel report says Manafort worked with a Russian intelligence officer who may have been involved in the DNC hack.
Senate committee made criminal referrals of Trump Jr, Bannon, and Kushner in 2019:
Senate committee made criminal referral of Trump Jr., Bannon, and Kushner
The Intelligence Committee detailed its concerns in a letter to the U.S. attorney's office in Washington, D.C., in June 2019, an official said.

It's really, really bad. Whether anything will come of it, who knows? Perhaps after the election when the spineless Republican senate isn't protecting him.

NYC extremely high death toll was because the governor mandated that covid positive patients from old age homes be sent back to the homes for treatment. It doesn't take a genius to realize that was like lobbing a petrol bomb into the old age homes. Completely wreck less when you consider he had so much spare hospital capacity that was built by the federal government. The rest of the wreck that is NY is directly due to the same feckless Democrat governance.I've been remote for years now, it's the only way I want to work.

Anyway, pointing out that NYC, the biggest city and the earliest hit with Covid, is also experiencing the worst economic effects right now, is hardly unexpected.
...and NY is not unique, the vast majority of covid deaths occurred in Democrat cities, specifically the old age homes, for the same idiotic reasons as NY.
Yet today Governor Cuomo is heralded as having done a good job -- being the worst city in the world re covid deaths is according to Democrats something to be proud of... Oh and he's writing a book about how well he did.

It's New York... that's as partisan as it gets. It'll be thrown out in due course.
You really are quite the doofus. Ask yourself why have they gone after Bannon.

As for the other claims; just more hearsay from NBC -- as if they've never lied; oh wait... they have countless times. There's a reason they're on the attack; because they very worried about John Durham, a very credible prosecutor, who is know for prosecuting government corruption... and who they know they can't discount because he has previously worked for both Democrats and Republicans.
Remember Nancy Pelosi has on camera described this form of political misinformation; they leak BS to the media cohorts, then when the article is published they turn around and use that media report as justification for another enquiry. That is the way the Mueller probe started.
The fact is that Flynn should never have been spied on, so too Trump's campaign -- they had no legal right re their criminally false FISA applications, etc.
Hold your horses... Durham will reveal a lot, and it's coming in October.
