Is Everyone Really Fleeing to Florida? The Mamdani Effect

Tim questions the narrative that everyone is leaving New York for Florida after Mamdani's win, noting real estate contracts are still strong in NYC, and jokes that people need to "get slashed" on the subway before they'll actually leave.
- Tim has been thinking about the Mamdani effect in New York City and whether everyone is really fleeing to Florida.
- Contracts are actually up in New York City; realtors say they're going crazy in the Hamptons with people still buying real estate.
- The idea that people will abandon New York just to attend foam parties with Marco Rubio and plot a Venezuela invasion doesn't make sense.
- People won't actually leave New York for Florida unless serious crime makes them leave—they need to experience a few stabbings and slashings first.
- A good slashing in New York leaves a visible scar that becomes a status marker when you show up elsewhere.
- Tim turns to the question of why living in New York has become so absurdly expensive, especially compared to its historical cost.
