Shove \u201cGive my regards to Broadway.\u201d Now locals are saying hello to outposts like whereverthehell\u2019s Kansas.<\/p>\n
Residents, transplants, rich, poor, people born in NY, choosing NY, wanting to live here \u2014 work here, love here \u2014\u00a0are leaving<\/a>.<\/p>\n Up to their behinds in Zero Crapdammy, plus the cost, taxes, homeless, unprotected NYPD, trash, traffic, bicycles, dog poop.<\/p>\n One\u2019s moving to Dublin. Ireland? No, Ohio. Who knew we had a Dublin,\u00a0Ohio?! Who\u2019d even drink their local beer? And how often you vacation in Berlin, Conn.? Better maybe Delhi in the Catskills? Homemade lasagna in downtown Fallsburg? Or Madras, Ore., where the paella\u2019s as high as a tsetse\u2019s eye?<\/p>\n Residents are taking their wallets to outposts. I mean Kansas City, Mo.? Even natives born there don\u2019t stay there. I hear cops born in Kansas City live in Reno \u2014 and they commute.<\/p>\n Try Athens, Ga., or the little apple called Manhattan, Kan. Maybe Rome, NY.? Paris, Texas? If you\u2019re into Egyptian King Tut, do a B&B in Memphis, Tenn.<\/p>\n How about New York\u2019s Catskills? Like Cairo, NY. Upstate. No major schlep from wherever you live now. Established in 1803, only a few little bankruptcies after Manhattan. For sale at this moment, nice house for $199,900. And near the shopping area, which is big with vintage toys, beeswax candles and handmade soap.<\/p>\n Want a warmer climate? How\u2019s Birmingham, Ala.? Established 1871. Known for iron and steel. Housing\u2019s around $180,000. Median income $46,000.<\/p>\n So, everyone, stop kvetching. I have just organized what it will be like for you to move from Bergdorfs \u2014 as long as it\u2019s still there.<\/p>\n Listen, it beats Cairo, NY.<\/p>\n Sedaka led uptempo life<\/p>\n
