That’s really nice for Jeff Bezos and David Tepper. This point is moot because we statistically know that you’re worse off living in Miami as a bottom 90% income citizen compared to higher tax states.
Just look at statistics like education, median income, and healthcare.
Miami-dade is severely cost-burdened in cost of living compared to Seattle or New Jersey with worse rent to income.
Miami has a higher regional price parity.
New Jersey is ranked #1 in pre-k education.
Miami has a higher ratio in uninsured adults.
The Florida state health system is nearly bottom ranked at #44.
The bachelors degree attainment rate in Miami is horrific, half the rate of Seattle. I believe it’s the lowest attainment rate of any large city.
So I’m struggling to find a legitimacy to the argument that an average person would rather live with Jeff in Miami versus staying in New Jersey or Seattle.
The fact of the matter is that billionaires are fine living in a dysfunctional state because they have private infrastructure to shield them from reality.
