New York City has long been regarded as the financial capital of the world, attracting some of the wealthiest individuals on the planet. However, in recent years, there has been a noticeable trend of wealthy people leaving the city. In a conversation between Mr. Kennedy and Dr. Kimberly Clausing, the question was posed: why are so many wealthy people leaving New York City?

Dr. Clausing acknowledged that New York City is an incredible city of innovation and immigration, with many advantages to living near centers of entrepreneurial activity. However, when asked if wealthy people are leaving to be nearer to such centers, she replied that she did not believe that many people were fleeing the city. Mr. Kennedy countered that there were thousands leaving, citing multiple studies. Dr. Clausing noted that she could not speak to why particular individuals were leaving.

Mr. Kennedy then offered his own opinion, stating that he believed that taxes were a significant factor. He claimed that if one were to look at the economics, some of the reasons for leaving were related to crime, but the primary driver was taxes. He noted that people were voting with their feet, which was also the same reason why people were leaving California and moving to Austin.

Dr. Clausing holds the Eric M. Zolt Chair in Tax Law and Policy and has extensive experience in tax analysis and policy. During the first part of the Biden Administration, she served as the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Tax Analysis in the US Department of the Treasury, where she was the lead economist in the Office of Tax Policy. Prior to her current position at UCLA, she was the Thormund A. Miller and Walter Mintz Professor of Economics at Reed College.

In recent years, New York City has been subject to some of the highest taxes in the country. These taxes have been a topic of debate among lawmakers and residents alike, with some arguing that they are necessary to fund public services, while others contend that they are driving people away. Many wealthy individuals have expressed concerns about the high tax burden in New York City, citing the state and local tax (SALT) deduction cap as a major factor.

The SALT deduction cap limits the amount of state and local taxes that can be deducted from federal income taxes to $10,000 per year. This cap has had a significant impact on high-income earners in states with high taxes, such as New York, California, and New Jersey. Many wealthy individuals have reported that the cap has resulted in higher tax bills and reduced financial incentives for living in these states.

In addition to taxes, other factors that may be driving people away from New York City include crime, high cost of living, and the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has led to a shift in work culture, with many companies allowing employees to work remotely. This has made it easier for people to move away from major cities and live in more affordable areas.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the reasons for wealthy people leaving New York City are likely multifaceted and vary from person to person. While taxes may be a significant factor for some, others may be leaving due to crime, high cost of living, or the pandemic. As such, policymakers and city officials must consider all of these factors when attempting to address the issue of wealthy individuals leaving New York City.
