Wait until it happens. I can't count the number of people who dramatically stated they'd relocate to another city or country if some politico or other was elected and never followed through. Most people who say that are all talk and no walk...

i agree that it is not going to happen, but relocating to a different city is massively easier than relocating to a different country (still not easy)

It's ironic that they would move to another country because someone they perceive as an immigrant has been elected. Then again these people are not well endowed in the brain department.
Americans are not the world's favourite group of people right now, so I suspect emigrating would be difficult, unless they want to go and fight Russia's war for them then I'm sure they'll be welcome.
Oh, these people don't walk. Presumably they'll be chauffeured.

Other disappointments when people didn’t flee from a lost election:
(He also said it in 2024 in reference to Harris… such a missed opportunity)
To be fair, if he had lost in 2024 he may have had to face sentencing for all the felonies (also probably not though)
It should not have taken 4 years to sort through his shit.
The fact that the legal system is so slow is part of the problem. He just needs to send a couple yes men to court to straight up lie for a bit and then it's another 6 months to call him on the lie.

1,000,000 claim they are going to pack up, sell their homes, find employment in another city, and move... but they couldn't be bothered to vote? Bunch of snowflakes.
Probably can't vote in NYC because their legal residence is already Florida, Nevada, or somewhere without income tax. And they won't leave because The Villages just doesn't have the food, parties, or culture that NYC has.
That doesn’t necessarily stop them. Republicans love committing voter fraud.
Nobody is leaving. This is a Post story. They're bloviating nonsense artists.

This is similar to how rich people will threathen to leave a country if taxes for them go up yet never do, because they live were they live and do business were they do business because of how good for them it is to live there and how much more profitable it is to do business were people are more prosperous and the Law actually works.
Turns out that such people want the quality of life they get living were they are and the juicy profits from operating their businesses there, whilst not paying for what makes it all possible themselves and thus be parasites on the rest, is just the cherry on top: they have no problem in saying whatever it takes - because talkie-talkie costs them nothing - to keep on getting that quality of life and profits whilst somebody else pays for the conditions that make it possible, what they're not fine with is the actually doing what they say they will do because if they do act as they threathen, it will cost them said quality of life and profits.
Unsurprisingly (for those who question things a bit further and don't just accept at face value the theatrics of society's top parasites) that "Paradise" free of "government oppression" called Somalia has failed to attract any of those those who claim they will leave the place were they live and do business when society elects somebody who will make them pay their fair share for that quality of life they so enjoy.
Even rich people who moved to texas from california like rogan and musk constantly bitch about how much texas sucks.
You get what you pay for.

Around the world, rich people often do relocate personally for tax purposes. One of the reasons we don't often see rich people in the United States do this is that we have incredibly low taxes compared to the rest of the world. And that's just nominal tax rates; in practice the super-rich pay almost nothing, which makes it even weirder how rabidly anti-tax they are.
There is quite a bit of business relocation that happens because companies are lured to different locales through tax abatements.

Lol, I live in California, and sometimes catty Republicans like to make snide comments about how they don't want to live here because of the "politics".
Every time I hear this, I get excited. Like... "Really? Where do you live? Is it nice? Go the fuck away please."
i'm laughing harder at the posts from TX saying 'the south is full, so don't come down here when NY turns into a communist hellhole'.
"oh no, my rent is frozen! we've got to get out of here!"
"where are we gonna go?"
"mexico.... ish"
I always laugh when conservatives describe Cali as a "shit hole". Yes, that's exactly why property is so cheap in California, because nobody wants to live in such an awful place.

I'll believe it when I see it!
Because when I see it, I'm moving to NYC!!
And if the improbable actually happens, it just means that Mandani managed to lower house prices on his own.

Same kinds of people who flee to Russia to avoid DEI and other "western degeneracy". It's probably for the best. Or it would be if any of them had the balls to act on their idiotic words.
Oh my god! Affordable food and housing!
runs away
I think NYC is going to have more of a problem of people moving to the city thanks to Mamdani

1 million republicans, landlords included, threathened to leave new york.
Right wing empty threats. No one is leaving.....
Just a bunch of chest pounding and whining
Losers won't do shit.
honestly left leaning places should do this more. the right does it when they make cruel laws to torture dissidents - all the left needs to do is trigger them and get them to leave.
- maybe require identification on social media (dislike but rightwing trolls get hurt more) ,
- ban vehicles over a certain size on class c licenses (like 4k lbs, intentionally low enough to ban big pickup trucks),
- ban private schools and fund schools from state taxes entirely instead of city for equity,
- require highschoolers to take classes on psychology and parenting,
- make sex ed mandatory and lgbt inclusive,
- build up light rail and ban cars in cities except for delivery purposes,
- require garbage to be sorted and actually fine people,
- massively shorten prison sentences and focus on re education to end "prison culture",
- tax incentivize continual adult education,
- document undocumented immigrants
- pay black people reparations
- ensure access to abortions and contraceptives to everyone, including minors
- legally mandate vaccines
- institute a maximum wage,
- institute election spending maximums,
- ban landlords, the local govt takes ownership of rental properties and contracts property managers or something
- universal healthcare
- ban the pledge of allegiance
idk what else?
Uh, that first one is kinda dumb. Very much unnecessary and kinda goes along the same line of thinking as republicans giving up their rights so that minorities have it worse.

Somehow I think those people leaving would solve more than the housing crisis
... that is an unbelievable number. As in I literally don't believe it.
That would be pretty much 100% of all non Mamdani voters according to the election results.
If these guys voted instead of threatening to move, Mamdani probably wouldn't have won.
Oh no! The horror of free bus transportation and affordable housing. Aaaaaaaaaaa!
Every large city is democratic, and my understanding of linear time means more Gen Z will be elected soon.
