At 4:32 p.m. Tuesday, every single resident of New York City decided to evacuate the famed metropolis, having realized it was nothing more than a massive, trash-ridden hellhole that slowly sucks the life out of every one of its inhabitants.
- Exmoor 6y ago> The New York market has seen a 40 percent uptick in interest for move-outs when compared with last year "Insane" should probably be taken in context here. A 40% uptick in business year on year is probably pretty huge for a relatively stable industry like moving companies. But if, say, 3% of New Yorkers move out of the city annually and that goes up to 4.2% it's not going to have any dramatic consequences to the city.
- jshaqaw 6y agoNYC always has its share of people done and ready to be recycled to the suburbs. Someone has to clear out and make room for new blood. This is pulling forward some of that demand. None of the people I know leaving weren’t on the fence already for years.

- jshaqaw 6y agoI get the world is more interconnected than ever before. Still, in my 45 years this is the first pandemic. I think people expecting one every year or two will find they are waiting a very long time.
