I doubt it--he could have been a resident of NY, the Virgin Islands, New Mexico . . . it was a big choice.
If they go, they go. They'll either go because their taxes got raised, or they'll go because quality of life factors have plummeted when the city cuts services to the bone. Either way, I don't find a lot of value in fretting about what they do. But they should be careful about complaining too loudly before they really spark a national anti-elite fever.
