3.57 million people left New York City this year to live out their lives in comfort someplace else, and then 3.5 million people hungry for opportunity arrived to take their place. I hope to see similar results in San Francisco.
> About 3.57 million people left New York City this year between Jan. 1 and Dec. 7, according to Unacast, which analyzed anonymized cell phone location data. Some 3.5 million people earning lower average incomes moved into the city during that same period, the report showed.
Questionable methodology that clearly yielded incorrect results.
For instance, in CA, only about $100M a year out of the $100 billion a year budget is spent on transportation [1].
Because of prop 98 in CA, a minimum of 40% of the budget has to go to education [2].
In NY, it's only 4% spent on transportation [3].

If NYC is less expensive to manage per capita, I'm guessing that's reflected in a lower taxation rate. Don't they have a lot of room to raise taxes?
