More than one in four New Yorkers plan to leave the state within the next five years.
That's what a Sienna College poll shows. Pollster Don Levy lays out the reasons for the planned exodus.
"You add together affordability, safety, long term ability to retire and a political system they don't appreciate detract from New Yorker's sense of quality of life here."
However, on the flip side the majority of poll respondents say they are very pleased with New York when it comes to quality of education, health care and available activities.
