Oddly enough, all of the cities and states where it is most expensive to live are controlled by liberals. And yet, "first chance someone gets, they leave"?
Hmmmm, let's see . . . everywhere where nobody wants to live . . . people are paying the most to live there . . . I dunno, I thought there was something about markets and such. Maybe you can explain to me why the least desirable places to live (liberal areas, according to you) are also where people are willing to pay the most to live (according to the market).
I know you are a free market kind of guy, so you shouldn't have too much trouble explaining this interesting market phenomenon.
What you are referring to is tech jobs in west and finance in east. That is changing as I write with work from home. Migration patterns past decade:
“Each of the 25 cities with the largest increase in population due to net migration over the past decade is either in the South or West. Florida dominates the list, with a dozen metro areas showing population increases due to net migration of at least 15% from 2010 to 2019. The only other states with multiple cities on the list are South Carolina, with three, and Texas and Idaho, with two each.“
Interestingly, in Idaho, we are seeing the largest influx of new residents from California, and Washington. In fairness, most move for economic not political reasons. That said, most are aware this state will remain largely conservative for the next decade, or two.
