When NY taxed the rich, the number of millionaires *grew.* Tax flight is a right-wing myth. The only people leaving NYC in droves are working & middle-class New Yorkers who can't afford to live here.

This saddens me greatly. WaPo Metro is still the first thing I read every morning out of my stack of papers, nearly 20 years after I worked for the section. Utterly bewildering why the paper has diminished local coverage so much in such a large, news-minded, prosperous region.
