Of course I have a few friends here and there. The other weekend, I drove up to Hamden to watch the Superbowl with a bunch of gay guys I know. I go to house parties once in a while, and heck, even bars once in a while. I'm not THAT much of a hermit.
Who here cares that you watched the game with "a bunch of gay guys." Should I mention that I watched it with Three Italians, One Korean, Two Jews, and a bunch of mixed kids? Yes/No/Maybe???? You're such an odd dude....

LMAO that was hilarious. I watched the Super Bowl with a bunch of hillbillies who like Mountain Dew.
This is representative of the entire Northeastern United States. Here in little ole NY, 1.1 million taxpayers have moved out of state since 2001. And all of them didn't leave for warmer weather. High taxes + rampant constant corruption + subsidizing the do-nothing's = mass exodus from high taxes/ big gov't

There are no do-nothings in other states? Just the northeastern states only?
The biggest swathes of welfare recipients in the U.S. are living in the southern states with lower taxes.

Don't make fun of the South, not everyone in the South lives a trailer and is named Jethro.. the taxes are lower but the reason a lot of South is poor is because it is rural and the education sucks in small towns.

I really wish I could agree... but no poverty is fairly widespread in the south. There is evidence it is more in rural areas but the simple fact is these "great economies" haven't provided enough people urban/suburban/rural with any sort of better opportunity. With construction grinding to a near halt in many states that will only grow.

No worries -- there are trailer parks here too. My husband (a plumber) spent a good part of tonight, in these single digit temps, under a family's trailer in Newtown, CT unfreezing their pipes...
BTW - this Newtown Trailer Park -- yup, it's located in Fairfield County....

Construction is not "grinding to a near halt" in southern states. In fact, it's quite the opposite, and southern cities are providing double, triple, and even quadruple the amount of new housing, relative to their population, compared to what's being constructed in northeastern cities.

The South is booming, but primarily focused on mass produced SFHs, strip malls and four story stick framed multi-family units of the lowest commons denominator nature. The overbuilding in anticipation of population that may not relocate also continues to depress housing prices. Thanks but I'll pass.
