Reasons so many people are getting the hell out of the Northeast (marketwatch.com)

This puff piece is an example of pseudo-journalism at its worst. Must have been a slow news day at MarketWatch.

We moved to Sarasota, FL end of August this year from Western NY. Couldn't be happier. I think cost of living is roughly the same; some stuff is more expensive, some stuff less. No income tax is nice and its almost end of December and still mid 70s.

My fiancee job was our top reason - she's an LPN working on her RN and had a hard time finding an LPN job in NY. I work remotely so we had 1 less job to find which allowed us to move. Weather was #2 and like I said, cost of living is roughly the same for us.

Love it down here.

Look at the authors' page and all five of her articles are about people moving from the northeast to the south. Clearly an agenda.
