Politics is a reason people are moving from NY to FL.
The VAST majority of land mass (counties) in NYS are Republican. Unfortunately, NYC is overwhelmingly liberal. The entire state (sans NYC) can vote to control taxes, or get tough on crime, however as NYC votes so goes the State. This is just one more reason many NY'ers are leaving NY, and a reason FL has a larger population than NY.
