Are all the hot gays migrating out of New York?

[LaSanta]

It looks like most of the hot guys I know have migrated from the Big Apple to either L. A. or Fort Lauderdale. Or am I missing something? Austin seems to be another destination where many are fleeing.

Maybe the cost of living is driving them out. There was that recent municipal election that centred on that issue and gave the victory to someone who promised to do something about it. 
In these circumstances many people vote with their feet, not believing things are going to get better any time soon. 
The young and the beautiful are highly mobile as a general rule if they find pastures greener elsewhere.

I can't even imagine the cost of living in NY if you're not already established. Everywhere is getting expensive but NY, SF prices are insane.

Agreed!

Gays are smart especially with our money!

I'm proud to have been one of the gay men who brought back Dupont Circle and Logan Circle at a time when they were dangerous neighborhoods! I doubt (in most cases) real estate will be the secret to create generational wealth, but we all need a place to live, therefore young gay men do the math and move to places where money goes further.

I’ve actually very recently noticed that there are fewer ultra-hot guys out and about in NYC… I thought it was due to the weather/season, but maybe not?

No, I can't afford to leave. I'd have to spend too much to fix up my place to get a decent price and wouldn't have the income or credit to buy anywhere else.  Besides, I don't pay utilities here, which helps.

Sweetie, I don’t think we were talking about you. Unless, like Gloria Swanson, in Sunset Boulevard, you still think you have a second act as a youthful ingenue seeking to conquer the world.
