In the aftermath of much well-heeled panic about a potential mass exodus of New York millionaires and billionaires following the election of Zohran Mamdani, the contrary is already happening, and Manhattan luxury apartment buyers are voting with their wallets.

Signed contracts for Manhattan homes costing $4 million or more rose to 176 in November, a 25% increase from October’s 141 deals, according to fresh data from brokerage Douglas Elliman and appraiser Miller Samuel. New signed contracts of more than $4 million increased at more than twice the rate of the overall market, the report noted.

    Eh, I went to a few pretty good museums in Key West once. Although, they also tried to become The Conch Republic for about a day that one time, so maybe they don’t count as mainland Florida.

      They have Hemingway’s house and the bar he used to go to which is neat but that’s about it. Also, there is a marker signifying the most southern point of the continental United States.

        Eh, there’s a little more than that.

        • Lots of piracy museums
        • Open beverage carry on Duval St.
        • Lots of gay clubs
        • More tour boats than you’d think possible for such a small island
        • Drunken cruise passengers
        • Drunken tourists on bikes/scooters/ATVs.
        • Military base
        • Old Civil War era fort (not the same thing)
        • Margaritaville

        Most of those things are up for debate following each hurricane season.
