> how do you explain all the millionaires taking up residency in Florida to avoid NYC taxes
They treat Florida residency like a flag of convenience[1]. There are some who legitimately retire or move to Florida for a lifestyle change - not exactly a new phenomenon - and a bunch of young professionals who choose to live in Miami because it's Miami, but for most it's just paperwork.
David Tepper is a great example. He "lives" in Florida and moved Appaloosa to Miami, but Charlotte is now the center of his personal life and he spends almost half of his time there.
