If you follow polls, everyone is always fleeing New York. I particularly love polls that survey some crazy number like 643 adults, then extrapolate that to tell you what all of America is thinking.
People want to leave New York? Assuming that's even true, I wonder where they think they're going that's such a paradise.

Basically, when other states are doing the same thing in terms of government. Some aspects are worse for many other states. So, I wonder about that too.
I could move anywhere in the U.S. and after exhaustive searching for "better places to live" .........there truly is NO PLACE better than home. I am grateful for my mountain acres and my modest home, mortgage-free!
The people who want to leave NYC the most are poeple under the age of 30.
1 out of every 3 young adults want to leave NYC, which is usually when they get smacked in the face by NYC's cost of living.
What gives people false hop here is about the all the new job opportunities in NC but most of the new jobs start out at 30K per year and theres no way you can live offf 30k per year when rent for a 1brm in queens/brooklyn is 1500.

941 adults over the age of 18 were polled by Marist. How many millions of adults are there in NYS?
I'm 26 and I work in Manhattan so I have a pretty good grasp on the vibe of NYC people my age. There's nothing with that poll that I can disagree with.
I hear it from my friends all the time, who complain about having to live with their parents or crash with a roomate they hate just to survive in NYC.
Most jobs in NYC are paying entry level positions 30K. That's just not enough money to live on your own in NYC right now. Even if you make 50K, you will be living paycheck to paycheck if you live by yourself.
I'm lucky enough to be one of the young adults who doesn't have to pay back any college loans or slipped up and had a kid.
But god forbid you're a young adult under 30 and happen to have a kid in NYC. My friend who is a 24 yr single mother, she called to find how much daycare was in queens. She was shocked to find out it was $1500 a month. That's basically as much as rent.
I make 60K a year, I only bring home $1500 every 2 weeks. So if I'm a single mother in NYC, and I make 60K, and I have to pay rent and daycare. That's both my paychecks in the month. I'll basically be in the red at the end of the month when you put in food and travel costs....
It is tough to live in NYC right now, without running up bad credit or living with your parents.

That's all well and good, however the poll is for NYS, not just NYC. It's very unlikely that you have the vibe for all young adults in NYS.
There were almost 19.5 million people in NYS in 2010. 941 is a fraction of a fraction of a percentage of that population.
I agree with you that it is not easy for many young people, though, to live in NYC.
The Satilite Cities along the Railway towns feeding into NYC are seeing a growing population of Ex-New Yorkers leaving the city... So there leaving the city for cheaper cities nearby..... Do we really want a southern population growth rate?
