What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

Reports indicate that political issues in New York City and the appeal of Florida's tax structure are driving residents to relocate from New York City to Florida. Florida offers no state individual income tax and no state estate or inheritance tax, which is attractive to wealthy individuals. One unconfirmed report suggests a victim of a stabbing in New York City was planning to move to Florida due to frustrations with Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
