Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Saturday he’ll pack his bags and flee to Florida if he loses the NYC mayoral race to socialist Zohran Mamdani.

“It’s all or nothing. We either win or even I will move to Florida. God forbid!” Cuomo told business leaders and other honchos at a Hamptons breakfast hosted by supermarket mogul John Catsimatidis.

Sounds like it's not all of the if the more liberal people stay because they can handle the idea of taxes, tolls, higher population density, snow, winter, cultural diversity, and funding public school systems

The ones who are liberal while they're working and raising kids, then conservative when laws benefit someone other than themselves move.

We are in a very diverse city here, no matter what axis you spin it on, and not really conservative, it's not any kind of monoculture in Florida. Spot on about taxes, though I'm sure they aren't that much lower in reality, people move here thinking they are, then get hit with the sales tax, property tax, car insurance and property insurance.
