Fellow New Yorker here. Just wanted to point out the state's entire population is less than 20 million, and young people are leaving in droves.

Nobody is holding a gun to your head. If you're unhappy, make different choices.

The Metro Statistical Area of the city is 25 million, which differs quite drastically from the de jure municipal and state borders.

NY government doesn't govern across state borders?

>If you're unhappy, make different choices.

This sentiment is often on display here and alway out of touch with reality. Plenty of people will never have the right opportunities, no matter their effort, to make any choice they want to put themselves in any social/wealth class of their choice.

This sentiment is the modern equivalent of "let them eat cake".

It may be quite difficult to change your social/wealth class, but the ability to change your location in the USA is among the highest in the world.

But there are other costs associated with that, especially for those with family/support network in an area.
