Tax those who attempt to leave

From Fox News:

Mansion sales rise in Florida as wealthy buyers are drawn to its low taxes and sunshine

Is bigger really better? It’s true to Florida buyers. Many wealthy buyers are moving to the Sunshine State for higher ceilings — and a lower tax bracket.    

Luxury Florida homes have wealthy Americans making the move from high tax areas like New York, New Jersey and California, cutting their tax bill and increasing the size of their homes. It’s a movement many are calling “tax migration.”

Jay Parker, CEO of Douglas Elliman Florida brokerage, one of the largest residential brokerage firms in Florida and Manhattan, said New Yorkers are the new “foreign” buyers.

“We have really created the perfect storm. The age of our population, the tax benefits of moving to South Florida. Someone that wants lifestyle, amenitization, really an experience in their living environment. Larger units, higher ceiling space,” Parker said.

The Tax Cut and Jobs Act — passed by Congress and signed by the president in December 2017 — capped the federal deduction for property, state and local taxes at $10,000. As a result, high-income earners are fleeing their home states and looking to the Florida real estate market for a better quality of life.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Monday blamed Trump’s tax law on the number of people leaving the state, saying it had contributed to the state’s deficit.

….

“People that are moving here, they are moving quickly, they are moving consistently. They are looking for opportunities, they are evaluating the market and I think all of these things combined really are very favorable to us in the state of Florida,” said Parker.

But Parker said it’s not like New York is losing ground to Miami — it’s still the hotting market in the country.

“I still believe New York is still positioned to be the most important real-estate market in the country, if not the globe. It is just an opportunity for us now to expand our luxury market and to become a safe haven,” Parker said.

    Taxing out of state may not work:

    On Jan. 10, 1996, Congress enacted the Pension Source Tax Act of 1996 (P.L. 104-94). This law specifically stipulates that, “No State may impose an income tax on any retirement income of an individual who is not a resident or domiciliary of such State.” While the Source Tax law still allows individual states to define residency on their own terms, it prohibits any state from taxing non-residents for pensions earned within the state. If you earn a pension in Vermont, for instance, then retire to New York, Vermont may not tax your pension income.

    So Virginia has issues with the Governor, Deputy governor and AG. Next inline is their Speaker, republican.

    With “youthful indiscretions”, #metoo movement, twitter, internet..we will soon have no “eligible” politicians..at least no male eligible politicians….

  5. Grim says:

    Laws are laws until they are changed.

  6. Not Bloomberg News says:

    Yep.

    1. Doubt red states would support a change
    2. NJ already has a $100,00o income tax exclusion (2020), effectively making us a no tax state for those over 62 with incomes under $100,000.

    Most selfish pricks on the planet. Make a ton of money off the infrastructure system in place in NYC, which costs a ton of money to support. They used the infrastructure more than anyone in the area since they made the most money in this area. Yet they leave as soon as they can to avoid paying the costs of their actions.

    Talk about selfish pricks. All about themselves. Avoid paying taxes in the place that gave them the opportunity to make that fortune so that they can buy bigger homes that they really don’t need. Losers! This is not what makes America great, this is what hurts America. Give back instead of always taking.

    I love how Cuomo blames flight on the reduction in tax breaks. I thought taxes didn’t cause people to move? Oh wait…maybe it’s lack of tax breaks cause people to move.

  10. The Great Pumpkin says:

    It’s boomers. They are done making their money and running away from the costs they have created from making their fortune. Add in the fact that people are lemmings, so when they see other rich retirees doing the same thing, they follow like lemmings.

    These are not people currently making their money. No money to be made in Florida unless you are connected with the local politicians and main players.

    Wonder who owns the alarm company. We have cell phones, wtf do we need silent alarms? Stop wasting money and put it towards the infrastructure you are destroying with the overuse of salt and brine (still want to punch everyone in the face that complained about having trouble getting home because the roads were not oversalted….makes sick how we are destroying the infrastructure and environment).

    “It will cost between $2.5 million and $12.5 million to install the alarms, according to the non-partisan state Office of Legislative Services. The money will come from a portion of a $500 million bond voters approved last year that will pay for improvements to public schools, vocational schools and community colleges.”

    Yet nobody protested Michael Jackson’s years of wearing whiteface.

    You know what word I’d be happy to never see or hear again? “Cringe”
    It’s the new favorite attack word from the younger generation, and now the older folks are using it too- blah blah blah was “cringeworthy” or blah blah made me cringe. Everyone thinks their feelings are so special that even just a bit of perceived distaste or embarrassment or dislike becomes some imperative to be avoided. Other people are going to say or do things you don’t like. Get over it. Overcome your little cringes little babies. You weren’t going to buy that damn Guggi sweater anyway because it looks like crap and probably costs $1000, so nobody needs to hear on instagram how looking at it makes you cringe, or hear about your protest for social justice about how a handful of rich girls might accidentally wear some weird black sweater that makes half her face look like Aunt Jemima.

    You are a fool. I know plenty of people who set up all kinds of businesses in Florida.

I even remember meeting a guy who was a full time penny stock broker, and part time slumlord. A career goal for you to aspire to – all in Florida! You are truly blinded by your blindness. There’s a great big world outside of Wayne, though your little mind cannot grasp it.

  17. Blue Ribbon Teacher says:

    lol

    It’s the unanswered question that’s been asked dozens of times over the past couple months and probably the last one Gov. Phil Murphy wanted to get asked Wednesday night during a telephone town hall he used to promote a new $15 minimum wage bill he just signed into law.

    But the man identified as Anthony pulled one over the people screening the calls and went there.

    “Who hired Al Alvarez?” Anthony, the second-to-last caller on the hour-long event asked the governor, referring to the former top aide who Murphy staffer Katie Brennan says raped her during the governor’s election campaign in 2017.

    “Not the question that you said you were going to ask, obviously,” Murphy responded.

    “Here’s what I’ll say to that,” the Democratic governor continued. “I put out a statement today about a report that came (from) an investigation into this whole matter … and I would encourage you to read that. I’m also going to speak with the press (Thursday).”

    I lived in Florida for about 5 months. I hated every minute of it. But I’m not going to pretend that cities like Orlando aren’t bleeding cash from the incredible amount of revenue they take in. I have an old friend that recently moved to Florida from New Jersey. He was working at the Whole Foods in Paramus in a managerial position. Seems he’s now making less money, living in a bigger house, and enjoying life. Good for him.

  22. ExEssex says:

    11:17 there are some very decent firms in FL – like most though you won’t see big $$$ til you are in Sr. Management. Sales gigs are strong earners in FL especially the Latin American market. But above all else, it’s cheap to live in FL. The two things you have to watch for are oppressive humidity and elderly drivers.

  23. The Great Pumpkin says:

    Yes, all businesses set up to take advantage of paying lower taxes.

    Almost every single one was started elsewhere and moved there after decades of being in business. I’m sure if you are starting an investment firm from scratch in florida, you will find some quality workers to get your ship going. ROTFLMAO

    Florida is filled with dirtbags along with 1%ers living in high rises or gated communities to keep themselves away from the rift raft. This is not some desirable place to live unless you can afford homes in the millions.

    Because there’s no well documented history of white people being lynched, enslaved, and impoverished by black people in this country.

  29. The Great Pumpkin says:

    No one,

    You love capitalism and consider yourself a savvy investor. What investment firm has the advantage, the one in NYC metro or Miami? Now, why? Competition is tight and you need the best workers. Sorry, Miami isn’t helping you win that competition. You need the NYC competitive advantage. That advantage means a lot more than the tax rate. If you are a true businessman, you know that the quality of worker outweighs the tax rate. Anyone arguing taxes is the major factor in business decisions is full of SH!T. It is the infrastructure and quality of worker that matters, otherwise everyone and their mother would be in low tax Kansas as opposed to nyc and san fran.

    Florida is home to scam artist buisness minds.

  30. The Great Pumpkin says:

    Who cares about blackface. Why don’t we focus on why legions of minorities are not taking advantage of the 20,000 dollar gift of an NJ education? Why? WTF does this have to do with white oppression? So until you can answer why the minorities are not taking advantage of this helping hand, quit with the racist excuses. That’s a hell of a helping hand that is being wasted…..are they racist towards themselves? Why do they not value education? They do more harm to themselves than a racist white could ever do.

    From the opening article……who is leaving NYC and buying houses worth this much? What a bunch of selfish pricks. Pay the taxes; this tax based govt has made you a fortune. Give back and stop being so damn selfish so others can also do well in the future. Our infrastructure and education system is begging for money, yet these selfish pricks rather run away from helping future generations of Americans have the same opportunity that they had. They had the great education system and infrastructure in place from previous generations, yet refused to do the same for future generations. Stop being greedy and make America great!

    “When they move here, many of them are buying $10, $20 million houses, sometimes “$30 million houses, and it is actually a bargain because they are saving so much on state taxes and city taxes that the house is almost free by the time you calculate everything,” Campins said.

    Miami is also attracting Hollywood A-listers as well as rich foreigners.

    “You are seeing more and more celebrities, ultra-high net [worth] individuals which are sort of pseudo-celebrities, make their way down to South Florida,” said Parker.”

    “Some readers might think this is all so extreme it could never happen. But presidential candidates don’t propose ideas they think will hurt them politically. The leftward lurch of Democratic voters, especially the young, means the party could nominate the most left-wing presidential candidate in U.S. history. If other Democratic candidates oppose any or all of this, we’d like to hear them.

    What would be hilarious is if an interviewer gave her a surprise question on various mixed drinks to see if she was even competent there.

  58. ExEssex says:

    My own view is that most billionaires do create some value, but they generally take more than their share of money and power. Their wealth far exceeds their economic contributions. Plutocrats don’t deserve the guillotine, but neither do they deserve billions of dollars.

    Plutocrats are, above all, rentiers.

    The rentier class
    Most wealth is created, maintained and sustained by extracting unearned rents from the rest of us. The wealthy take advantage of monopolies, asymmetric information, network effects, regulatory capture, artificial scarcities created by patents, licenses or trademarks, bailouts, subsidies, protectionism, financialization, and globalization.

    In economics, “rents” is a word that means “leveraging control over something that already exists, such as land, knowledge, or money, to increase your wealth,” in the words of economic historian Rutger Bregman. The concept dates back to Adam Smith and David Ricardo, who argued that owners of land or natural resources could demand payments in excess of what’s required to bring their land or resources into production.

    I’ve decided LinkedIn is a bull$h*t fantasy world where people like to post fictional, inspiring stories and where 20 year HS dropout “recruiters” try to get your network. It is certainly is not the greatest job hunting site. Ear is still to market. Latest was tech recruiter for Sr risk IT PM at Millennium Management. He sends me link to connect with note that he has a hiring privilege for job. I don’t accept but send note. He says pay over 200k and bonus up to 500%. BS indicator is up but I say ok let’s talk. He sets up phone screen with his manager then 2 hours later says position was put on hold due to budget concerns. This is why I never accept recruiter connections. They are more useless that t*ts on a bull. Current IB comp day, no raises for most (not me joining late 2018) and 4% bonus (not me either as I got practically nothing after proration). Wow, real fear that they will lose employees. Economy is greatest ever..so said Orange clown.

    Ed,

    Completely agree. It has been going for awhile now. Back in 2012-2014, I had recruiters calling me quite often. I even interviewed at my current firm but turned down contract job as it appeared too short term. Now, it is absolute wasteland. I can’t think of any “professions” that I have more than realtors and recruiters. Wish I could just stay where I am but 2 kids makes it tough to keep losing ground as I took pay cut to get this job. It in insane to run hiring plans for my team. Three months trying to find a Service now developer in Pune. Two people accepted then did not turn up.

    Bystander,

    They will learn when they realize how it is impacting their bottom line. Just like when companies move to a “cheap location” and realize how it is hurting their business due to the quality of worker/infrastructure. I said it before and I will say it again; if cheap locations were such an advantage, why isn’t every company in the low tax state of Kansas? Instead, they choose NYC and San Fran…..now why?

    “Two people accepted then did not turn up. We won’t pay them $200 a day for those skills yet surprised when candidates are not coming.

    Gary, By,

    My LinkedIn still reads that I am a janitor. I too, have found nothing good from recruiters. Actually, I find them a net negative in that they will lie to the hiring firm and to the recruit since they’ll do anything to get their fee. The few I hired through them were completely non-vetted, though that’s not what the recruiter told me. Once, I got my fee back from one, which wasn’t easy. But I played the same game and lied to her back. Told her that the company (billion in revenue at the time) was seriously considering using her regularly. Dumb ass. She still calls me about once a year.

  72. JCer says:

    Pumps Florida is a third world country. That being said in the wealthy parts it’s really nice. As for schooling for kids it’s private all the way, and that education is good it just comes at a cost, public schools flat out are passable at best in the wealthiest areas. People from the NE love it, they live in massive homes, in gated communities, nice weather in winter, golf, tennis, beach, pay no income tax and avoid the place in the summer and during hurricane season. Also quality of life for people who cannot draw a big income is way better, my parents refer to it as the place where retirees and those who couldn’t hack it in the real world go.

    Bystander the whole banking austerity thing is in full swing. I’m going to laugh my A$$ off when it backfires and costs more money than doing things the right way. Good luck finding any developers in India worth anything, salaries are much higher than anyone wants to acknowledge, I have a guy who makes 50k a year in Hyderabad and he’s not very good so this notion that you can hire qualified developers for 20k a year is just not reality. If you think the recruiters are bad try the people who sell outsourcing, or software like the company I work for, it is horrendous.

  73. Libturd...look me up in Costa Rica says:

    I’ve probably spent more time in Florida than nearly anyone here. In the Summer, it’s way too hot and humid until it thunderstorms about 3pm every day. Then it is still 90 degrees, but with half the humidity. If you can afford to live on that strip of land directly between the Intercoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean, you can avoid these storms and much of the accompanying humidity. Winter and half of Spring and Fall are pleasant temperate-wise.

    What will kill you living in Florida is the abundance of really stupid people. If you ever eat out or shop, you will need to learn to be tolerant of them. They can easily be identified by garb containing the following moron codes. UofM. UCF. USF. FIT. UNF and FAU. Though masquerading as colleges. These three-season camps exist to promote college football and little else. If you’ve ever been outside of a resort in Florida, you know this rings true.

    Some other Florida benefits. Crazy amounts of traffic and more toll roads than you could shake a stick at. Lots and lots of old people who should have quit driving a quarter century earlier. This results in an unusually high number of stupid traffic accidents, especially in Palm Beach County where it is commonplace to see what appears to be driverless cars. Fortunately, these can be seen and avoided from quite a distance as you simply need to look for the continuous left blinker if it hasn’t already been damaged by countless rearenders.

    Driving in Dade County is no picnic either. But instead of old people, it’s machismo Latinos recreating Mad Max chase scenes with regularity. And don’t you dare even think of fighting back because of Florida’s lax gun laws and plethora of gun shows. They WILL be carrying.

    Then there are Fire Ants. When the heat index is 110 degrees, God felt it best to make sure you keep your shoes on.

    Honestly, if you never need to leave your house, which is what old people do, Florida is great due to it’s lack of taxation. It’s dirt cheap to live down there! But the amount of stupid will drive you absolutely crazy if you choose to pass the guardhouse of your gated community. You’ve been warned.

    Oh, and no edible pizza or bagels, though they’ve made great strides in their Jewish Deli.

  74. The Great Pumpkin says:

    That’s why for a regular joe with three kids, stay in nj. The cost of private school will outweigh the taxes saved by a mile.

    Also, agree with you hands down that if you can afford million dollar homes, Florida is a good spot if you made your money already. The only problem, when you are old, that summer heat is unbearable. Could kill you. So forced to stay inside all day.

    “As for schooling for kids it’s private all the way, and that education is good it just comes at a cost, public schools flat out are passable at best in the wealthiest areas.”

    Well Mr Demographics..India has 1.4 billion people to 2.9m for Kansas. If your product is not technology then you get rid of it to cheapest location possible. The population size of India guarantees bounty of young, desperate workers with some English and slight tech language. Paying them $180 a day means companies can fill 4-5 people and hope a few turn out acceptable. It is still cheaper than one good developer at $1200 day in US or Europe.

    Bystander,

    Everything comes with a cost and companies have finally woke up and smelled the coffee. If you choose to manufacture in a low cost location, this place will become your competition in time. They will steal everything. So choose wisely.

    At the same time, just like what happened with China, bringing jobs to these places drives up the cost of labor for said location. China is no longer super cheap, they lost that edge. It’s market economics at play. So if you enjoy paying the costs associated with moving from low cost location to low cost location every 10 years, good luck. That’s a huge cost. Training and moving everything….it’s nuts.

The stories I hear especially about the walk away from homes and mortgages back during the housing crisis, underemployment, drugs, and even jail always give me that WTF feeling.

    There are diverse communities in Florida. I know some struggling lower to middle-middle class types from my high school, most who live in small towns or rural areas. I know many happy middle/upper middle class people too. They typically have college degrees and live in the bigger cities. They live in a different world than the multimillionaires who live and retire in the nice locations with golf/tennis memberships, nice restaurants, and who have somewhere else to go in the heat of summer. I know a number of people who live this lifestyle, typically living around Palm Beach or Sarasota. Miami is like a whole different state.
    Eventually when I retire or semi-retire I plan to be in the latter group, with a million+ home near the ocean.

    BTW,

    I just watched this super obvious 15 minute professionally polished conservative turd of a documentary on the Covington Boys/lying Native American kerfuffle. This is the first time I watched any of the video of the incident as I thought it was a complete non-event.

    Fifteen minutes later, I realized, why did I just waste 15 minutes on this absolutely perfect example of what pussies we have become.

    And I mean, every single person who proliferated this absolute non-story. Heck, you should have seen some of the sh1t I used to yell at those crazy Original Jews every single day I commuted to West 44th Street through Herald Square in the 90s. We used to know each other by name. It always ended with a wink too, which is exactly how Maga Hat versus lying cooky Indian should have ended.

    It appears to me, if the conservatives and the liberals aren’t at each other’s necks, than they aren’t happy at all.

    Turd is going to all be identity Politics into 2020. That is all they can hang their hat on.

    Today the newly formed House Judiciary Committee put on a real s**hit show today, the Acting AG will be out in a few days after Barr is confirmed by the Senate, so for no reason other than to put on SHOW they treated Whitaker like garbage (because he is a white male, mostly in my opinion). The man is a political appointee for a three-month stint, he was not about to interfere with Mueller’s investigation and even said he never spoke to Trump about Mueller or denied any funding requests. They moved onto all kinds of nonsense questions, like illegal immigrant family separations which is DHS not the DOJ and other nonsense about the wall and illegal immigrant crime stats.

    I don’t believe they have a viable candidate for 2020 and no viable platform, and unless Trump is impeached and convicted he is going to sail into 2020…

    It’s entirely possible that the Democrats get further mired in infighting, that none of its primary candidates achieve flight speed and that the current president strolls into a second term.

    Many people had their expectations of the Obama administration dashed (“Hope and Change” while spearheading a murderous intervention in Libya, anyone?) which make candidates like Harris and Booker that much more unlikely.

    It is also possible that the stench and rot in the administration becomes unbearable to a majority of voters, overpowering the scare tactics and cynical wedge issues.

    No one honestly gives blama credit for the current economic growth and low unemployment.

    Trump did three things. Rolled back regulation and job killing blamacare. Lowered taxes and tore up one Sided trade deals which increased on shore investment.

    Those things are intuitive to a businessman. To a community organizer turned politician it’s voodoo.

  122. GdBlsU45 says:

    Blama had 32 quarters as president. NEVER in a single quarter did he achieve even 2% growth. Only president to never do so. Even more astonishing coming out of an economic crash. The man was amazingly inept.

    Then NJ decided to elect a bunch of his acolytes to Congress. They’ll be very effective for the state I’m sure.

  123. AP says:

    GdBlsU45, are you sure about that? Got curious enough to do a quick search and unless I’m misreading this it does appear that there were many quarters of >2% economic growth:

    https://www.statista.com/statistics/188185/percent-chance-from-preceding-period-in-real-gdp-in-the-us/#0

    Regarding the tax cuts: while corporate taxes could use some relief, overall the tax cuts will cost too much, increasing an already unfathomable deficit. An already heated economy didn’t need more stimulus in my view. Could have kept that powder dry.
